FAQ: Why isn't a poll running this month?FAQ A: If a poll doesn't get at least 7 valid submissions it doesn't run.FAQ: Why is a certain request on the submission thread and polls a different colour than the other options? A: Polls and submissions whereby the option is in a different colour (red) instead of the standard colour is to display that the Request has had a forum here in the past which had been closed.FAQ: Why do the poll links at the top of the page go to a page that I don’t have access to? A: It should be noted that the Forum Links on the top of all the pages forward to the current polls and submission threads, however since we are on a Dual Server the poll links will not update right away for everybody and can take up to a day to get in sync with the other server (much like an avatar usually takes at least an hour for everyone else to see). To visit the new polls and submission threads before they update, just visit the Requests board via the drop down menu. Basically, when you are directed to that page, it means that the link is still going to the old poll which has been moved to a private forum to avoid confusion.FAQ: Is there an easy way to check out the campaigns that are on the current polls? A: Yes, each option on the poll links to the campaign thread associated with it. From there you can join the campaign for that option.FAQ: A Special Request ... What is done with those requests? A: Requests on these threads will be discussed and the appropriate ones will be added to the poll.FAQ: When are the Summer, Fall and Mid-Season TV polls posted? A: The Summer TV poll is the newest of the TV polls and it gets posted around the start of May, the Fall TV is posted around the start of July, and the Mid-Season poll is posted in mid-December and runs until mid-January.FAQ: What are examples of allowed threads to one time PM to ask to join a campaign? A: Related threads such as Shipper threads, Appreciation threads, and Character threads. People on poll threads should not be PM'ed since it's not exclusive to that submission.FAQ: How do we add people to support lists of threads? A: In order to be added to the support list of a campaign thread the person must ask to be added on the campaign thread. There is no other way that you can add someone to the listFAQ: What are examples of related threads to mention the campaign from time to time? A: Threads listed above, plus if you notice people who says they voted on the appropriate poll thread you can reply to them mentioning the campaign thread. People should not be PM'ed though unless they are on the threads mentioned above as a poll thread is not specific to that one submission.FAQ: Why did x submission get disqualified? A: Disqualification is a last resort used only when we have verified evidence of extensive rule breaking by that particular campaign. It is not our policy to discuss the details other than with the involved individuals. Please note that if campaign leaders bring suspicions of a duplicate account for their campaign to the attention of Lindsay or Johnnie, the submission won’t be disqualified because of it.FAQ: What happens after a request is disqualified? A: From now on, any request that gets removed from the poll will have the campaign thread closed for about 24 hours, after which time the thread reopens it should get back on with the campaigning rather than discussing negativity about why it was removed.FAQ: I submitted a Request but it's not on the poll? Why is that? A: You may have had less than 500 posts when you submitted it, the request may have been on the then current poll and got 10 or less votes- thus becoming ineligible, the campaign thread might be too inactive and removed because of that (you are allowed to post after yourself as long as it's a decent time apart to keep the campaign active), or the board may not be on the list because it got enough votes on the then current poll and was added. Campaigns should not be inactive for 7 or more days before submitting, make sure the campaign is active prior to submitting.FAQ: Is there a board guide? A: The current one is here.FAQ: Who's responsibility is it to keep track of who wants to join a campaign? A: It is the opening poster (campaign starter) who is responsible for updating the list. Please consider this before starting a campaign as campaigns can go on for a very long time, and it's best to have someone who is dedicated to start a campaign rather than having to change the opening poster in the future.FAQ: The opening poster(OP) is no longer around. Is there anyway I can get the list updated? A: If the person is away, Lindsay can update the campaign for you if you send her a Private Message, however if the poster has been away for awhile you can request for there to be a new opening poster. However, in doing so posts get removed from the campaign until they get to the new OP's first post on the thread. Any people asking (in between the opening posters) to be added will need to post again on the thread asking to be added to the new opening post, since those posts will no longer be a part of the thread. Please contact Johnnie or Lindsay with any further questions via PM. __________________
