Tonight is a good night in, I found a few songs that I genuinely enjoy that I'll be sending to FSC
The FSC mod team recently discussed and voted on the issue of non-voting juries, including juries that vote after the deadline.
The result of this discussion and voting is that there will be a new rule for these juries. Juries that fail to send their votes before the voting deadline will move to the bottom of the scoreboard and of the end result list, while retaining their points.
Hmm, so they will end up in the bottom but retaining their points? It will look a bit odd having let's say a country with 100+ points in the bottom. Why not simply end up with 0 points then? Or maybe I misunderstood something here
Anyways I'm still surprised how a deadline of a full month seems so impossible to make it on, I mean it's a long time. Sure sometimes we have less time, some times more, but a whole month should be enough really.
I'm glad a rule for this has finally come in for this, 4 juries missing out on voting last edition was ridiculous. However, I personally don't think that really is enough. :? Really nothing seems to have changed except coming last? I don't know about anyone else but i think it should be stricter, with them losing all their points and maybe being banned from the next edition. I know this may mean a slightly lower number of participants some months but i'm sure it would deter people missing the voting deadline if there was harsh consequences.

I honestly think, that the long deadline is what causes the non-votings. I think some people (inclusive me) at first thinks "There is so much time left", starting forgett about FSC and then remembers too late (not including me, never missed a voting here ) their participation in FSC. Alltough its simply to remember because DDL is always somewhere in the last days of the month.
Not that i will say we need a shorter deadline, it's fine to have a contest with a long one... in the end it is their problem, not everyone elses one, alltough it is sad if your 12 points are worthless or the winner would not be the "real" winner.
You've basically replied for me: the deadline is everybody's own responsibility. The FSC mods post the voting deadline very clearly in the threads and thread titles. It shouldn't matter whether the voting period is 5 days or 25 days.
Your answer sounds like i would have blamed the mods/rules for being reponsible for too late/non-existing votes
Ehm, no. I didn't read that in your post
lach... reading one word wrong can change the whole meaning.
i readed "answered to me" instead of "for me"... sorry for my failure
And if they don't? (vote in that edition)
[MENTION=6221]Mozz[/MENTION] out of curiosity, what other situations would warrant a non-DNV warning?
Is the UK sending Adele next month, or nah?
