Funny, I thought the same thing but I voted on the opposite end of the spectrum. I suppose “how familiar are you with the voting guidelines?” is pretty open to interpretation.
Yeah, thanks for pointing this out. With the benefit of hindsight, I’m seeing that there are really three questions I want answers to:
1. Have you been voting in line with the guidelines (whether or not you’ve literally read them)?
2a. Have you literally read the guidelines? (In other words, have we succeeded in making you aware of the guidelines’ existence?)
2b. If you have read the guidelines, to what extent can you accurately recall them? (In other words, conditional on you knowing the guidelines exist, to what extent have we succeeded at drilling them into you?)
Where Isaac’s interpretation is towards 1, and your interpretation is towards 2.
The poll I’ve ended up running is essentially the above three questions rolled into one, with ~unknown amounts of each contributing to the results. This isn’t ideal (my bad!), but I think the results will still be useful, and there are already lots of votes (thank you everyone for voting!), so it’s too late to turn back now. I advise people to continue voting under whichever interpretation makes sense to you; the mods will have fun untangling your results.
I wasn’t sure if I was, but reading the guidelines matched my guess of what they would say, so I think I was familiar with them.
