Do what I do for Secret Santa--let voters know that if they haven't received a confirmation TG within X hours (I usually do 24), they need to resend.

TBH, I'm regretting attaching my unlimited inbox to my main account rather than this one for that reason. Maybe I can purchase another sponsorship for this one--it's not that expensive.

That costs ten dollars I think.

NS thread polls are more secret than a TG poll. With the thread poll, users have to trust the site administrators. With a "poll" by TG, users have to trust the site administrators AND whoever runs the poll.

Putting this in the previous post would have taken that post over 60,000 characters.

So just after people argued that the Sexiest NSer competition should have public voting to prevent puppet abuse, an argument appears in the exact opposite direction for this comparable thing.

I could pull it off using my Postmaster upgrade and the separate folders.

Might be a good idea for the Sexiest/Purriest next year.

That had occurred to me. However, I ruled it out, because its impractical. There's only 10 options, meaning that you'd have to have a primary to determine who gets put in the poll. But THEN, you'd have to list each award/primary winner combination. Which is impossible due to the structuring of the poll system.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.
