Regarding timescales, I added this to your other post but I think that would be perfect for testing out polling.
Hows that going to work anyway? There's no native poll option is there?

I just had the same thought :)
So how would you work out the final vote count based on that?
Ayes from unique users as a percentage of subscribers? Does the nay count carry any weight? What if it's 51% Aye and %49 Nay?
Yeah, I don't think 50% is realistic either, I'm just trying to work out if there's a way of usefully measuring engagement.
It may be that expressing votes as a percentage of the user base it still helpful, it's just that the threshold needs to be lower.
Or, what about measuring against subscribers to the Agora? The sidebar says we have 109 subscribers at the moment, the top post has 55 comments - that seems to be a more useful ratio.
Nay, I definitely agree in principal. I just think 24hrs is too short. Might be good to make this a poll?
1: 24hrs 2: 48hrs 3: a week?
Agreed, I've started a discussion about this to keep everything together
I think we also need to agree some kind of engagement threshold for passing a vote. Do we really want to be implementing changes on an idea that only got 1 vote for example?
Presumably the mods make the call on whether a vote passes, but there should be a simple test that isn't open to interpretation like 60% of the user base or something. So all they need to do is count the Ayes when the 24hr period ends and work that out as a percentage.
Maybe this needs to be it's own vote at some point.
Its called Chicken Ruby in the book but it is in fact, butter chicken.
It's from a restaurant called Dishoom, I highly recommend their cookbook as absolutely everything I've had from it has been incredible.
This is someone plagiarising it, but it looks accurate to the recipe in the book as far as I can see.

Genuinely one of the best things I've ever put in my face, it's very hard to cook anything else tbh.
It was 26 here yesterday and let me tell you, I have never regretted my decisions more than I did 20 minutes after putting that pasta bake in the oven.
It's 29 today and I WAS thinking of soup :/
Cannot survive cooking indoors so I'm going to BBQ something or other and try not to start any wildfires.
Have they sorted the server/bot drama out then?
I can't remember the details but last time I looked it was basically unplayable, something about a group wanting to set up their own version and were flooding the servers with aimbots.
The idea of opening the floor for discussion to everyone is interesting but I think that sort of means we can't use subscriber count as a way of scoring votes.
My thinking was the subscriber count is a smaller subset of the total user base and will be made up of people who are specifically invested in participating.
What happens if you have subscribers to the Agora who aren't actually part of the wider shit just works user base and who also can't vote?
