Can't start a thread in the cup section, so putting it here.
A couple of posters have started doing the single letter A or B thing when voting for for the round one ties.
Can we nip this in the bud NOW and make sure everyone makes a comment when they vote in round two.
Cheers!

Most of the comments are over the top negative, we are small board with ever diminishing membership that have to live with each other afterwards. Despite the hyperbole nothing there is terrible, i don't like the Pixies, but they are competent, i don't see the point in some crazed post blaming the chooser. The cups are special and they can make or break this place. It might be different if we were a large anonymous board, but we ain't.
Love,
Morrissey

You want people to comment at length, but use an abbreviation in the thread title? Poor show, dock points, please, Ray.
BTW, my comments are shorter than normal because I'm on holiday, and on my phone. As well as having nothing interesting to say, obviously.

It might be different if we were a large anonymous board, but we ain't. i think you make some salient points, gav, especially regarding the importance of the cups. they define preludin and give us a hint into the direction we're heading in as a music board. it's important to be frank and honest when voting. we have the integrity of the board to think about. thick-skins are needed. if our choices are rejected, then it is most likely for good reason. i don't think we will benefit from niceties. all's fair in love and war, as they say. |

Love, Morrissey Whilst I agree generally with the " shoot the message, not the messenger" sentiment, I don't think we've had the "over the top negative" comments that you say. It's all been pretty mild so far. What have you read that irks you? |

Personally I think comments like 'whoever chose this shit clearly has something seriously wrong with them' are things of beauty but I suppose we should reel it in for the LITERALISTS here

Anyone who doesn’t think there is something seriously wrong with them doesn’t belong on Preludin as far as I’m concerned.

it's a game!
you don't REALLY get rich when you play Monopoly and you aren't really being an asshole when you say somebody has shit taste in the cup. we all know you are merely being a cunt. nothing more or less than what is expected of any Preludiner worth his or her salt.
for what it's worth, I think the occasional "A" or "B" can be a style choice - like you have nothing else to say.
not as bad as comparing everything to Dylan, you must admit.

The problem is they then get on a roll and start doing it with every tie. Plus it gets weirdly contagious and the next person to vote will start doing it. In some of the BCB cups you had more voting in that way than commenting, and I think that's what we want to avoid on here. |

In my own case, sometimes I want to participate but don't have time to think up witty bon mots. |
