Clarifying Some Points on the Name Vote

from the details-are-important dept.

I would like to clarify some points on the in-progress submission and voting process.

  • Ideally the name should be available in .com .org and .net
  • If not, we will still accept the submission
  • Suggestions left as comments on this site will not be added
  • If you are unable to submit a name through the formal process as a last resort the name can be submitted to suggestions@soylentnews.org or you can pester a staff member on IRC via a private message
  • Submissions close on Saturday at 06:50 UTC so I suggest getting them in by Friday at the latest

If you plan on making a submission then I also recommend you read the original article with full instructions. Unfortunately, if you did not register to vote before April 12, you are out of luck for this vote.

If you want more information about bounces, plain text email, or voting read this comment by audioguy.

    Reading some of these comments, and some of the comments in previous posts about this, I wonder how people actually get up in the morning. I thought it was simple and straight forward.

    Plenty of notice that this was an Opt-In only vote,
    Plenty of notice to tick a simple opt-in tickbox in your preferences,
    Lots of information in the posts and the email that was sent out in what to do and how to do it.

    I can't believe that some people simply can't read what is given to them.

    Starting Score:    1  point

    There was only plenty of notice if you happened to see the post

      True indeed. Between having other things to do with my day (i.e. get paying work done) and technical issues with the site (I once got 503's all day and gave up on reading until the site stabilized, apparently on the day the notice went up), there's no guarantee that everyone who was interested actually saw the opportunity in time. I count myself among their number. Local ISP problems don't help either.
