Concern about hairstyle voting rules

[MsCroc]

The fact they changed the voting rules after voting began extremely bothers me. How many people would have changed their voting if they knew? There's not even a special notice that the rules changed!

They didn't change the rules though. It's always been the same. They just clarified the rules.

Very bizarre voting rules, it should just be pick one and vote for it >.> Or vote for what you like...

Well, it is and always has been just pick one and vote for it (or actually pick one for each gender and vote for it). The rule clarification only applies to people who were breaking the rules in the first place, trying to vote multiple times. SE specified how they'll treat these invalid votes. Anyone who followed the rules to begin with isn't affected.

Yeah I agree with that but not about the "last one you voted for" ugh, but probably because I don't want that side pony tail to win..I want the braid pony tail to win and if people don't read it and vote for both...LOL not gonna be fair xD

While they did specify that, they should have built a system to make it so you can't vote for more than one. A polling system as I said earlier, hell they don't even have to create, there are plenty of sites that offer that but I'm assuming they don't want it to be something they can't control, but even then creating a poll for the Lodestone/Forum would be relatively simple.

That's really my most major gripe about how they handled this.

Good idea! They should have done a poll...would have been so much easier. We had forum poll's in 1.X...I dunno why they going with this weird "like" thing now ugh.

Seriously, setting up a poll would have solved so many problems. No convoluted rules, just one and done.

Greetings,

We've added additional details to the Hairstyle Design Contest announcement in regards to voting to hopefully clarify questions we've been seeing. (Additions in bold)

Wouldn't it have been better just to tell people to "Only Vote for One male and One Female style. Multiple votes in one category will not be counted properly. if you Liked multiple entries in one category, only your last vote will count for the tally".

I just think it needs more emphasis on basically only "Liking" one entry male and one for female. The wording is what's confusing people.

Heh, I hope they realize that if the one that has the most likes doesn't win..people gonna riot on here lol. ^^;

Well, I origenally picked 3 per catagory, my mistake as I read the rules but not closely so I missed the highlighted parts.
BUT! I went back and fixed it. My favorite in each still got my vote but I redid my votes to to the 3rd and final clicks being my 3rd favorates. So now my votes count on my #1 pick.

Why is this such an issue? If ya messed up, fix it. The rules arent complicated you just need to spend like 6 seconds to redo the votes. not hard.
