Pollocracy one: Let commenting the comments commence!
Ah yet another article you ask? You asked right. Pollocracy: Because in a pollocracy it's not the voter who decides, but the poll maker.
See the comments to read the rest.
As you might have noticed I took over the polls about half a year ago. So hereby I also take over the position of posting the best comments from them.
How does this work?
Well, in a democratic country it is the voters who decide. Now the dinknetwork has never been a democracy, but sometimes voters still have an opinion. If this opinion is related to the poll we like to hear it, just use the little box labeled 'Any Comments?' next to the poll. If your comment is witty, useful or just plain weird I might post it here for others to enjoy. You have been warned. I rank these comments according to fully objective criteria, so resistance is futile.
Okay, so this first installment will cover the best comments for the last 24 polls. So, if you have been missing the comments: Enjoy!
Note that any [text between square brackets] is mine, {text within the curly brackets} is the option the commenter voted for (if I think it's relevant).

3) there's 2 [Yeah, people started releasing DMODs the moment I posted this poll. It's a conspiracy]
2) I'd chalk it to lack of new members in general. Seeing how small the community has always been, though, I'm surprised there ever was a time when several dmods were released every month. [I'm surprised such an elaborate response even fits inside that box...]

Yeah, pollocracy! This one came faster than I thought. There are some funny comments in there. I'll try to make it in next time (although I think one of the comments is mine, but I'm not sure!)
Well, 'box' there is no 'Complaint' thing, so deal with it.
The complaint box got removed because it was spammed, if I remember correctly by automated bots (like they do on forums). These are just the poll comments
I never saw a complaint box.
The complaint box was also before your (or my) time here at the DN, kris.
I think it was taken almost instantly away after I first joined TDN. But I do remember seeing it.
Ah, yes I can remember. You were complaining to much...
XD you COMPLAINED too much?
Probably about noobs.
*wonders if my comment gets through on the next update*
*wonders if my comment gets through on the next update*
In case you didn't notice: I was just joking around. The truth is, like Simeon said, that the complaint box was overrun with spam.
Any update now that we know people are adding a comment to the polls to try and get fame lol?
ive never commented on a single poll. why? whats the point
