I don't know what you're talking about. I ran the Elvis Costello poll, which was the highest rated, most beloved ILM poll in history. Nobody does polls better than kornrulez6969. Right now our polls have a lot of problems. The best songs aren't winning. But we're going to fix all that, this I can tell you.

Have we really not done REM yet? I have misgivings about the universe.
― hardcore dilettante, Sunday, 8 May 2016 04:40 (seven years ago) link
REM was done a long time ago, actually as the predecessor to all these polls, but I think the setup was different enough that it never gets included in the master list.

As the REM pollmaster, I have several times endorsed a do-over owing to the very idiosyncratic nom system and improbable (if interesting) results. I'd be happy to re-do it - it's been seven years! - but also think it'd be appropriate to pass the torch. Go for it!

I'm happy to leave it in your hands. I think I've "got it" only bc I was early and vocal on the idiosyncrasy of that proto-poll and need for proper poll of record
― Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Monday, 9 May 2016 06:41 (seven years ago) link
You were right though! Plus you've been on-deck for it since October 2013, and besides, you have a much more respectable CV as poll-runner. I say keep it; if you like, keep me in mind as an alternate or helper, should circumstances interfere or something.
I would love to re-run all the individual album polls, with new and improved POLL pun titles, as a warm-up, but I think I would get kicked off of ILX. Still, that was the one thing I think I did right about the poll - preceding it with several months of intense REM discussion, which I think got a lot of oddball songs back into rotation for people. Not a model that would work for every artist, and some folks would be screaming, but kinda cool.

i really don't think we should start giving people's polls away to other people. i'd agree with sliding down the list to someone who's here and ready - that seems common-sensical. i'd even endorse moving the no-showers down a ways in the queue so we don't keep banging into them. everybody has seasons where they're not as active on ILX for whatever reason, life happens, but if someone's been waiting years to run poll X, it shouldn't just get tossed to someone else imho.

i hear you, shakey. but since it's impossible to know what states other people and their lives are in, then on the off chance that someone does still want to do theirs, i feel like robbing them of that is a bigger wrong than the rest of us not getting to vote in that poll at that particular time, y'know? especially when there are a million more down the queue that we can just bump up in the running. i just really would hate for it to become a precedent and then oh whoops my poll comes up in the same week that i'm moving or starting a new job or whatever the fuck.
