Is there a way to do category-based vote limits? I would like to have feature requests category with only few votes, but then also a bug tracking category with limitless votes so that a vote would mean “i experienced this”.
Or would like/hearts be the better way for latter? It just feels wrong to like a bug…
I’m testing out the voting plugin right now and I think this feature would be a good fit for our use case. Would be grateful for advice and ideas. Thanks!
We are considering using this plugin to allow the community to vote for representatives to join our network guidance committee. There might be more than one opening at a time with up to 6 candidates vying for the same opening. My thinking is that we’d have a VOTING category with voting plugin enabled sub-categories for each opening. Within each opening category there would be one topic per candidate, authored by the candidate, containing their message introducing themselves and why they should be elected. All site members would be allowed just one vote for each candidate.
So the current model that gives each user a set number of votes they can “spend” however they like doesn’t work. We’d have to provide enough votes for each user to be able to vote for all candidates, but do not want to have them spend them all on the same candidate.
For those who might be curious, here's the full election process as we are considering it right now.
NGC members serve for 3 year, renewable terms. A vacancy arises when an NGC member decides not to renew their NGC membership for another term. Filling the vacancy will be based on universal criteria applying to all NGC members as well as specific criteria to round out the committee (e.g. gender of candidate or by region, theme, type of organization represented).
On April 1st of each year, announce vacancies for nominations.
This call for nominations will be open for two months until June 1st.
Candidates, whether by nomination or self-nomination, must submit a resume and cover letter stating their intent to be on the NGC.
All who submit appropriate documentation are called “nominees”.
A selection committee made up of network team members and NGC members reviews the resumes and documentation of nominees. The selection committee will decide which nominees clearly do not meet minimal qualifications and eliminate those nominees. This requires a unanimous agreement by all members of the selection committee.
Those nominees who meet the minimal qualifications will be contacted by a member of the selection committee for screening.
By August 1st, the selection committee will select no more than 6 people for each vacancy to be considered for election. These selected individuals will be called “candidates”. The selection process will be done by consensus. If consensus cannot be achieved, then the chair of the selection committee may call for a simple majority vote on any nominee becoming a candidate with the chair of the committee having the deciding vote.
Two months later, on October 1st, the results of the election are announced and the retired NGC members are removed and the new NGC members are added to the NGC page and discourse group.
A simpler alternative may be to create poll topics for each opening, and add the “pitch” text and maybe a photo for each candidate to the OP. But it seemed interesting to create some healthy and fun competition by having multiple topics that people can vote on.
I just made a PR that implements category based vote limits. Category based limits can be set for each trust level for each category. Category limits override ‘site’ limits.
@tobiaseigen Actually, you may be interested in the elections plugin I just completed. It fits your use case quite well. It extends the concept of having one poll per topic. I built it for my own purposes (i.e. I’m going to be actively using it), so I’m keen on ironing out any issues it may have / getting the feature set right.
hey everyone! I’m not sure if this is the right thread (but I’ve been perusing around and it seems like it could be) but we are looking to allow for more than one upvote for a topic. Is this something that a plugin (that already exists or is under development) could support?
We experimented with super votes in the past, but it got fiendishly complex to explain to end users. We don’t have any current plans to add super voting or extra voting cause I think the complexity this adds is just too high.
카테고리별 허용 투표 수를 설정할 수 있는 기능을 요청드립니다. 제 주요 사용 사례는 기능과 버그에 대해 각각 별도의 투표를 허용하는 것입니다. 두 항목의 우선순위 설정이 모두 중요하지만 서로 독립적이라고 보기 때문입니다. 예를 들어, 사용자에게 20개의 투표권을 주되 이를 전부 기능에 사용하게 하고 싶지는 않습니다. 하지만 기능과 버그를 합친 경우 10개는 너무 적다고 느껴집니다. 다른 분들도 이런 관점을 가지고 계신지 궁금하고, 그렇지 않다면 이 플러그인과 관련하여 버그와 기능의 우선순위를 어떻게 관리하고 계신지 알고 싶습니다.
이것이 이 플러그인에 대해 상당히 큰 기능 요청일 수 있다는 점은 인지하고 있지만, 매우 유용할 것이라고 생각합니다(이전에 요청된 적 없다는 점이 놀랍지만, 여기서는 답변이 자동 삭제되므로 제가 못 본 것일 수도 있겠네요…). 이 요청이 고려되기를 바랍니다.
수정: 이제 제 스레드가 여기로 병합되었습니다(중복 게시해서 죄송합니다. 검색은 해봤지만 정확히 무엇을 찾아야 할지 확신이 서지 않았거든요…). 여기에서의 논의가 어떻게 진행되었는지 궁금합니다. 약간 본론에서 벗어난 것 같지만, 제 생각에는 원래의 기능 요청은 여전히 매우 유용합니다. 다른 스레드에서 이미 Angus를 태그했으므로, hopefully 그가 의견을 남겨주실 것으로 기대합니다…
꼼꼼한 답변 감사합니다! 현재 이 프로젝트에 사용할 예산은 없지만, 어떻게든 마련해 볼 수 있는지 알아보겠습니다.
여기서 다른 분들도 관심이 있다면, 함께 모으면 충분한 금액을 마련할 수 있을지도 모릅니다. 저도 개인 자금 중 일부(최대 200달러 정도)를 기꺼이 부담할 수 있습니다. 같은 방식으로 참여하실 수 있다면 이 글에 함께해 주세요!
더 일반적으로, 이 기능이 제가 생각하는 만큼 가치 있다고 느끼시는 분이 또 계신지, 그리고 기능(Features)에 대한 투표와 버그(Bugs)에 대한 투표 사이의 이분법적 관점을 저도 포함해 다른 분들도 동일하게 보고 계신지 궁금합니다. 공식적으로 운영되는 포럼 중 투표 기능을 적극적으로 활용하는 곳이 있을까요? (특정 포럼 이름을 밝히길 기대하는 것은 아니며, Discourse 유료 고객에게 이 기능이 얼마나 가치 있을지 탐구하는 차원의 질문입니다.)
