Ballot Idea

Crash Course · 07-09-2007, 03:43 PM

It's pretty obvious that it's getting harder and harder for me to create ballots. Anyone else interested in lending a hand? It's just a matter of coming up with the players, creating the thread with the poll, and posting it. Let me know if you're interested by commenting here. Thanks.

I could do it.

How about this plan--I'll post the ex-players whose birthdays appear in that day's ATM report.

But, is there a way that I could get a master list of those already in or rejected, or would I have to look everyone up individually?

Thanks Lee.

Yeah, that's the issue - you need to do a search on the forum for each name that you want to start a ballot on.

Still interested?

I just figured out a way to simplify the searching procedure, so yes.

Steve, can you edit the thread titles for the players? If they were last name first, it'd be a lot easier to find or eliminate names by sorting on the thread title.

My "simplifying" method would be to cut and paste the thread pages into a word document, so they are in one place and then do a search on that document for each player. I'll still get stuff like the last poster in the document, but that wouldn't mean anything in terms of doing a sort.

Thanks Lee - FWIW, It would be a pain to edit all the titles now.

Lee - I'll drop you a e-mail soon with "next step" etc. Probably in a day or two. Thanks again.

Sounds good

Lee - can you try to create a ballot in the ballot forum today - just as a test?
