Still, even if it's multiple choice I don't logically see how it can be over 100%

[Rentboy]

because the % are based on how many people vote not how many choices they vote for. Or something like that.

I don't get it either.

Still don't get it. Even if it is mc, every choice should be between 0-100%. If 10 people voted for A and another 20 people voted for A and B and another 6 people voted for B
Then it should be:

A= 30 Votes (54%)
B= 26 Votes (46%)

56 votes, 36 people.

well its a flawed system with multis obviously. i dont care enough to do the math.

anyways...

have I missed Hurricane Katara's monthly devastation? I know ASF has just swept through again..which I missed.

2 options in a multiple choice poll. 10 people vote, and each person votes for both options.

Each option is now listed at 100% because 100% of the people who voted picked that option.

Yes, but how can it be above 100% then ? Multiple choices having 100% is possible, but them going beyond 100% technically isn't. If another person votes but only for the first option there should still be a balance:
A= 11 (52%)
B= 10 (48%)

If it is a question to a member, or a reply to a member, why post that in ATRL HQ? If I wanted to know Kworb's favorite color, why not go to a thread about favorite colors or PM/post on his wall about that? Those are called private conversations, so you can have them in PM, on each other's wall, or even another general discussion thread, so why post that here? It's not like it helps the rest of ATRL knowing Kworb's favorite color.

Similarly, if you want to discuss how a MEMBER is a duplicate or should be banned or you cannot wait for them to return, it makes more sense for ATRL HQ because other members can chime in about general member behavior. You are not calling someone else for something personal, it's just their ATRL behavior that you want to discuss. It can work with NHB, since it can be attacking a user, but if it is just not an actual argument or fight, it is better for ATRL HQ.

I made a test poll.
There are four options, all multiple choice.
WOO 1 50.00%
WOOOEY 2 100.00%
Woo! 1 50.00%
Whew. 0 0%
2 people voted. Out of the 2 people, both (2/2) love WOOEY, thus 100% of the votes for Wooey is there.
However, since only one voted for Woo and Woo!, that was 1/2, so 50%

If someone else was to vote, that would be a total of 3 votes.
If they voted for Woo!, that would be 2/3, so roughly 66.6%
If they voted for Whew., that would be 1/3, so that would be 33.3%
If they voted for WOOEY, that would be 3/3, so that would be 300%, otherwise, it'd just be 2/3, so it'd go down to 66.6%

So, in the case of multiple-choice, the total for each OPTION is out of the total votes.
They don't all add up to 100%, but each option is out of 100%

The multiple choice voting is so simple to understand...

Eh, never hurts to explain stuff, just to be safe.
Not everyone will understand everything as easily as someone else
People should be comfortable asking any questions they have

True.

Sorry for sounding like a condescending asshole to the ones who didn't understand.

lol I was just writing a freaking essay for you but I'm glad orange beat me to the punch because with that post, people can indicate that you called them stupid or slow for not understanding it.

But thanks for the explanation Orange.

Seriously I love this site, but sometimes off topic discussion in the base is so ****ing annoying. It's annoying to read 10 previous pages a day because of the off topic discussions. For months I check the Kelly Clarkson and Britney thread on pulse first before I check the ones on ATRL because there is hardly any off topic discussion (to be fair it's a smaller board) and here there's talk about getting drunk and sex in the base.

Yes, we are all guilty of having off topic discussions but some of us have it once in a blue moon while others have it every single day which is truly annoying.

I know y'all are going to say we need to report the off topic post but I don't want to start a tense situation in my own base, especially when I like the majority of the posters in there.

You're unbelievable.

Why was it banned? A duplicate? I assume this is the right thread to ask such question.
