I was just trying to be witty and fun but it does feel unbalanced. I'll remove them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta. To all the people reacting to this (not gonna lie, it does trigger me ) as long as we don't make this a "competition" then it's really all harmless fun. I hid the voters in that case so we don't have to see who likes who. Last time we did this, no one was hurt because it was done right. If it gets out of hand we can end it early Don't let the "popularity contest" put you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how much you dress it up it simply is that I said in the original thread that this is a popularity contest, but I'm not starting it to determine who is the most popular and why. I'm just doing this shit for fun If you simply take it as harmless fun rather than some cringy popularity contest, then I don't see any problem.

tlr Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I'm not sure on what basis this can be anything but a popularity contest, it literally takes two random people and you to take a side, but there we are. I don't have a problem with whatever games or topics get put on here, this included, I just took exception to being included completely at random, as pleasant as it is to be considered. I try my best to keep a low profile on here, I just want to browse and drop occasional sarcastic Blackburn Rovers comments. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any problem with you not taking part in this at all. I said I would happily remove you if you asked for it. I just think people should take this as harmless fun and not a "cringy" popularity contest. The key word is "cringy". Who cares if you participate or not. Nobody will judge. We're all adults and don't take ourselves so seriously, regardless of who wins or not. If people don't want to take part, that's up to them and I will remove them without hesitation, but I just don't like the way people are treating this as if it's something malicious when it really isn't.

Subscriber nudge+ Posted January 19, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted January 19, 2020 I don't think people are treating this as if it's something malicious; it's just that many people don't like popularity contests... Gotta respect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you can prevent it from happening by opting out I personally started this just for fun and a way to spice things up and add more activity. Like I said, if you just ignore the "popularity contest" part of it, then I'm sure it'll be a bit of fun., I only started 2 groups though to let things play out so let's see what happens.
