Community Poll: Remove Feet?

[weatherman223]

Even though this has been already decided, I'd like to see what the community as a whole thinks about this move.

Please answer this strawpoll. https://www.strawpoll.me/16980698

Thank you!

How are we going to walk if we remove feet?

You misunderstood, he clearly meant removing the measurement unit Feet, which I would be happy to see removed

I already voted on this one from Reddit. My vote brought it to 84 against removal, 82 for removing it. I would happily vote against removing it again, but I want it to be a fair sample.

What is the point of this. Not even a reliable source for WCA Board as you could simply use different web browser/proxy/tor browser or whatever else to vote multiple times.

It’s not binding in any way, so why would anybody bother to do that? I see no reason with the current results to believe they’re skewed: pretty close to 50/50 seems like about where community consensus is at.

I believe we are pretty close to even, but I've never seen a community pool with the majority to remove feet, and I've seen at least a half dozen saying keep it. I also believe that to remove an event the percentage should be 75 or at least 67, but definitely not 50.01

I turned on IP/Dup/Proxy check so this won’t happen.

I’m a little bit surprised about the poll, and was not expecting a complete 50/50 community split.

Were you expecting more support for keeping it or for eliminating it?

After seeing the reaction on SS about the removal I was expecting more opposition.

I suspect that the people who don't want it removed care a little more than the people who do want it removed, and so tend to be more vocal on the thread. And I also suspect a lot of people don't really care one way or the other (and so probably aren't voting at all).

Just what I was going to say. I would expect a simple yes/no poll would be a more representative sample than looking at who takes the time to write a post.

We've had this conversation on another thread, but I think removing it was not helping the community and does more harm than good. It was just another way of solving a 3x3, like one-handed. People liked this event and all the arguments to remove it can apply to things like multi-blind or 7x7. Just my thoughts.

If you want to know what the point is, and why it should be kept, maybe you should, I don't know, read the thread? Also the GitHub one too

Why did you use strawpoll? The forum has a poll function

I'm assuming it's because he links this poll to other places go get the Community opinion instead of only the SS opinion

What does it hurt you? Playing with a Rubik’s cube is dumb and kind of gross, too, if you want to think about it that way.

 

[SM cubing]

If were gonna be that way, at least add a new event like petaminx blindfolded fmc with one elbow








and you have to use petrus

Added a poll to the post to make it easier to vote.

???

The point of the strawpoll.me link was that it'd consolidate results across communities on different websites, not just the forums here.

(e: er, dot me, dot com, same difference)
