Skeptical Ability Scores Poll

Please vote, if you want something added, please ask.

As currently is. I like the transparency and it becomes more of a worthwhile tool when you at least know why you were smited / praised.

I can’t see votes?

|-O 0:) < sorry just noticed new smilies :smiley:

What Cyghost said. I’d like to have a higher restriction on the newbies though, simply to prevent trolls to have a field day, 10 posts are easily managed in a flame thread.

@cyghost
Votes visible after poll closes… >:D

@Faerie
Agreed. Raising it to 42 because ;D

;D The ultimate answer to the question!

How many posts to attend an SITP?

The ultimate answer to the question!
The answer really is 42! Here's why:
Cambridge astronomers have found that 42 is the value of an essential scientific constant - one which determines the age of the universe.

In his novel The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (1979) Mr Adams describes how an alien race programs a computer called Deep Thought to provide the ultimate answer to “Life, the Universe and Everything”. After seven and a half million years’ calculation, back came the answer - 42.

In slightly less time - two years- a team at the Cavendish Laboratory has managed the same feat, using a new technique to estimate the value of the “Hubble Constant”. This measures how quickly objects in the universe are receding from each other - a natural outcome of the Big Bang that created the universe. Dr Richard Saunders, who led the research, sounded a trifle abashed by the result. “We have taken two measurements for the constant, and the average of them is, well, it’s 42,” he said. But he insisted this is “entirely fortuitous” - though thousands of fans of the Hitch Hiker novels might disagree.


bluegray, you can raise the bar to 43 now. :wink:

And Wiki confirms that it is also the answer to many other unasked questions:

The last options wins :slight_smile:

Raspberries… :stuck_out_tongue:

so 'tis an anonymous smiting to be

ok if I do put in my name when I smite / praise?

According to the poll, 68.8% of the voting members prefer you don’t :wink:

Is it not right and proper to back the minority, stand up for the little guy??? :wink:

I’m presuming they prefer the anonymity for themselves. We are curious creatures after all. But fair enough.

Sure, who’s the shortest around here? :stuck_out_tongue:

5ft. size 3 shoe. anyone shorter? ;D

Oh wow, even I am surprised.

It appears those who want anonymity also are also loath to speak up. Guess it follows…

I seriously am stumped. I’ve never been one to side with the majority on much. Well, fair play to put it to an anonymous vote.

… and here I thought democracy was flawed because the masses are often wrong… Oh, wait… :stuck_out_tongue:

Shouldn’t the “who” column still be visible? You still get to know by clicking the in topic link?

I agree - there’s no point in keeping the recipient’s name confidential.
