Should we stop the census-polls?
A simple question. I will call this poll every month.
If the census is no longer wanted/needed, i will stop immediately.

3 Options to choose from: Yes, No, Abstain

3 days running time.

If at any time a citizen thinks the census is no longer needed or wanted, feel free to post this poll on your own. If accepted, i will comply.

I'll hold off my vote for a bit to see if anyone has a better idea.

Although the results of the poll are bound to be inaccurate, I don't see the point of getting rid of them. They do allow us to have a rough estimate of the participation in the game, which is useful. As long as people interested in the game are willing to take the 2 seconds required to vote, the poll is fairly useful.

I agree with Akron. I’m a ‘citizen census week XX’ addict.

Stop them, or at least remove them from the topped threads.

Abstain (but not by clicking). I think they should last longer, like 2 weeks or a month. It's pretty boring to vote in the same old census every week.

It depends on what other methods you have in mind (like the re-registration idea). If someone puts that on the table, I may pick, but for now I haven't voted.

Censuses (censii?) are fine. It's those pesky election threads you've gotta watch out for . . . If you vote randomly you might find yourself being governed by The Banana.

ppl talked about it in a discussion thread, there were more contra-posts than pro-posts, so i posted a clarifying poll.

but i think if there is another way of how to get the same information it would be better.

The census is the LEAST annoying form of useless poll. It is all the sodding Constitution ones that should go.

IMHO, and if the aim of the census is to measure the citizens' activity and its evolution, I would like a method based on facts rather than declarations, that is :

- every citizen duly registered (once and for all) visiting the Demo Forum is active, and could hopefully be automatically counted ;

To appreciate the degree of activity, we just have to count :
- the votes to all kinds of polls
- the posts

Everything on a weekly, or preferably on a monthly basis.

Just my 2 cents !

For two weeks, I have journeyed the depths of the Notylopa and upon my return these are my first words:

Census polls are useless.
Obviously, if people are no longer active and voting, then they will not come here and vote in a poll that they are not doing what they just did. (did that make any sense?)
