there would be too many different opinions... there are people that like barcodes...I personally don't like them at all.... site logo? All too subjective.

Wouldn't make any difference Boemba..won't change the way people prefer to make covers

well i tought by the poll we can see what the main public prefers, but it was just an idee

Well, getting a measure of opinion is exactly the purpose of a poll and I think there could be some merit in gathering certain information like the popularity of barcodes.

Like Lulubelle I dislike barcodes but even more I dislike incorrect barcodes.

Another area is the use of Age ratings, whilst many abhor the UK versions the reality is that this site is global so should region specific info be used at all?

I've often thought it would be better for the option to d/l a psd file of the cover with the region and age logos on layers for ease of adapting to the users area.

So, yes I'd would like to see a poll conducted but not for things like site logo though.

Actually, I wouldn't use a cover if it had a barcode no matter how good it was, I don't care if BunnyDojo made it, I don't like Barcodes.

A poll in a perfect world would be great but alas this is not a perfect world and we cannot dictate what people place on their covers and labels.

If one wants to put a bar code or age rating on the cover, that is their prerogative.

A poll on this subject would just go on and on and still have no conclusion. Everybody has their own opinions and even if the poll stated that 80% of voters don't like barcodes, it is not going to stop someone uploading
covers with barcodes in them.

Sorry to put a damper on it.

A poll can never have a conclusion as such and the point is that you can a some stage say 80% prefer this or that, and whilst that may not change the habits/work practices of several cover makers it may be enough for some to adapt their ways to better help that 80% of the community.

So would a poll to see if this poll is needed be pointless?

Rather than a poll, you would be better off starting a thread, asking for people opinions. There are too many combinations to put in a poll. Posts like this have been run before, and the general opinion seems to be if you like retail looking covers, you like barcodes, if you like custom looking covers, you don't. Theres no harm in starting a thread, if you would like to hear peoples opinions, but as I said, a poll has too many combinations of poll questions.

What about having a poll on the merits of pointless polls

HS114 · Post by **HS114** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 5:27 pm

So, if a poll on a poll of pointless polls is not pointless then why is not ok to have a pointless poll on a poll of polls that would have a point.

Or would that be pointless?
