Same content as three different threads but within one thread to make the administators happy. I’m not sure why this wouldn’t be considered do-able. 
I was just about to suggest what elfkin477 said.
I don’t understand the flak you’re catching here. These polls are really enjoyable. Even the polls I don’t post in are usually informative enough for me to check in from time to time.
If it’s a question of whether or not members are taking part, just check out all the different posts and views.
I say they stay and the mods get off your back.
Hey, that’s exactly what I said in the second post in this thread!
Oh, those poor little darlings, having to see the same set of words appear four times on the front page of CS. My sincerest condolences.
I can live with the moderators’ decision, wrongheaded as I think it is, because we’re tenants in their house and they make the rules. I’m reserving my scorn for those posters who, instead of choosing to simply ignore that which they don’t like, have possibly brought about the end of a project that over two hundred people have found some value in.
I pretty much discovered Elvis Costello because of the 6@6. It’s an awesome project, JohnBckWLD, and I hope some way can be found to keep it going.
There’s enough support from members for continuing the polls that I’m certainly willing to entertain any reasonable ideas, JohnBckWLD. I don’t understand why doing one poll a week is so much more work than doing four or five a week. Perhaps you could explain to me in email?
John Carter, when we find that one poster has many threads on essentially the same topic, all on the front page at the same time, we usually do take action… especially if this is a repeating phenomenon.
