Hi, cturner. The HD guidelines say "Off-Topic: MOST stories about politics" (emphasis added). Votes say that this is one of the ones that is not MOST. Anyway, it'll all be over in less than nine hours, and I'll go back to reviewing programming books from the 1970s and 80s.
- estel 15y agoNine hours!? I'm stacking up the caffeine for Election Night Special... (Which only has devolved results, but still).
- corin_ 15y agoActually the AV result isn't due until 8pm tomorrow, so more than thirty hours away. Even the first results from AV aren't expected until after 5pm tomorrow.
- MikeTaylor 15y agocorin_, the RESULT isn't due until tomorrow, but the polls close tonight. So nothing I say or do after 10pm will make any difference.
- hugh3 15y agoVotes say that this is one of the ones that is not MOST. Naah, the "flag" button exists because offtopic stuff does get voted up despite being offtopic. In the case of political stories (some) people tend to vote things up because they agree with the sentiment rather than due to a dispassionate evaluation of the benefits of the article (see also reddit.com/r/politics). Voting systems are on-topic, but this is obviously political campaigning.
