yeah, you're right, it's not spam. it's way worse than spam. spam you can just delete without even opening/reading it. here you have to participate to something you don't want to, otherwise you see this annoying "not-spam" in every ing thread you open. what a great way to "market" it. :rolleyes: |

Yes, and in the time you spent typing that up you could've clicked, put an X in 5 boxes, clicked submit and have opted out.
With regards to 'marketing' - it's an internal poll - hence, what incentive would you suggest I provide? A monetary one would not apply, so, what else? Rather than speak in expletives perhaps you could bestow your wisdom upon me.
It's amazing that on a relatively ad-free forum that when you prompt users to participate/opt-out of something that a select few choose to react with such hostility. Thanks for giving back. |

i have nothing against the poll itself, just the way you're "marketing" it. i've always hated forcing anyone to do anything and that's pretty much what you're doing here IMO, forcing people to participate in the poll. i didn't vote on it because i haven't heard enough djs this year to give a proper vote, otherwise i probably would have voted before this "marketing" campaign started. if i now had my favorite 5 djs figured out i probably wouldn't vote because of the "marketing".
that's just me though. personally i have a hard time understanding why you decided to do things this way.  |

i can't call it spam, so i called it "marketing" as i get the feeling you're getting some sort of gain from this as you use such agressive ways to get it through. also english is not my mother tongue, so it was kinda diffucult for me to think of a term better than "marketing" for this situation. |

Yes, the many hours I spend putting the poll together mean that whether 10,000 users or 50,000 vote is the same amount of effort to me - however, the results will be more accurate with a higher # of votes.
If you opt-out you can always go in and place your vote later.
I don't see it as aggressive - aggressive is a pop-up or forcing you to vote right after you log-in to the forums - before you can even view a thread. I'd never do that... also, for the record, I did this exact same thing last year too - only difference being that you probably voted before I activated it. |

it's agressive and in your face, and a lot of people just don't care. You should go about it differently instead of forcing me to do it. I made up results. I didn't fill in what I believed. I just did it quick to get it out of my face. I hope your poll ends up completely retarded! |

| i think you've already said more than enough. You're just another jerk who's happy to promote his own radio show & get people to do things for you, but the moment you have to give something back to the site you get all bitchy as if it's your god forgiven right to be all stuck up. |
