Where is the link to the ballot? Is voting closed now?
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

What is even happening?
I only know a little, and mostly because some Buffista, long ago, linked me to [link]
I also asked, because Hil (I think) asked about the timing of the vote in lightbulb, but I don't know if it ever got addressed. Still, I can see your point. We all can't be here for everything.

Voting closes tomorrow evening.
Which is a full day after the end of the second day of Passover. I don't see a problem.

Gah! All these people changing their names! Chaos! Confusion! Brain hurt!
I am with ya on this MarvelMan, particulary since my mind does the translate thing on posters that I know with a different name.
I don't have any issue with the name list. It seems an interesting read. It seems likely to me that anyone who had an issue with publicly displaying their name probably isn't using their IRL name anyway.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I take my stand now: I will always ALWAYS be Miracleman!
It's not like your secret identity is, ya know, very secret...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It seems likely to me that anyone who had an issue with publicly displaying their name probably isn't using their IRL name anyway.
If, say, we had a bunch of celeb signups, would we be well served by listing them publicly? I don't feel so. I don't think the up side is significant at all.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Maybe just me, but when we were at WX when the board was down, it weirded me out that my name was on a list at the left. Just sitting there. For other people to see.

No doubt the reasons against far outweigh.

True Deena. It was always odd the see how many lurkers were about. And that was only the list of people that didn't hide their names. OTOH, there also was the "oh goody Deena is here" reaction when I read the list.
