And yeah, having seen this play out now for most of this series, I do think it's become a bit of a joke. Pick someone who is willing and able to do the thread and the poll every week, the poll with a standard set of five options, and let them take care of it. Shouldn't be this much of an issue.”
This was my reasoning.
I must say the episode threads this year have been hilarious! Have any been correct? i.e. poll set with the traditional number of options, traditionally named? poll put up on time? Thread title correctly set, proper links put in? Thread starter looking after it rather than neglecting? Absence of bickering?
I really don't care how early in the week the thread is created - it is the responsibility of people creating threads to check to see whether a similar thread already exists. That's just regular forum etiquette, isn't it (and not limited to episode poll threads)? (Of course the fact the search facility appears to be borked doesn't help, but a quick scan of page 1 and 2 should do it (and would have done it this time).
Anyhoo - I'm rather enjoying it. It's as though it's mirroring the series - we've built up over 12 weeks to a big cocked-up-episode-thread Double Poll Finale! I'm hoping the OPs have saved up their best CGI for these! Maybe a big name surprise A-list casting announcement.
