VOTETAKERS VOTE'S COMMENT
There were a number of invalid votes for a number of reasons
they are outlined in the voting summary - only one valid vote
was disallowed and that was because it bounced, it is not
included in the results above.
Votes listed below as being incomplete were rejected due to the
omission of the placeholders around the vote which must not be
"removed" for clarity.
Two Html votes were counted because they were sent multipart
and I could read them because of that - this was raised with
my fellow votetakers and in future I will no longer be counting
them as valid.
html is not excepted within uk.* usenet, html is not mail.
One person voted muliple times - but they were all from the same
name and address. Voters please note once you get an ack your vote
is valid, sending it multiple times does not get you multiple
votes.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rationale:
UK discussions relating to Quake2 are currently held in
uk.games.computer.quake, leading to confusion and frustration when it
is not clear which game (Quake or Quake2) is being discussed as both
games share similar terminology. Newsgroups such as alt.games.quake2
avoid this problem and are certainly very popular but lack the UK
focus of uk.games.computer.quake which is so important when discussing
local servers and sites and developing a sense of community.
The creation of uk.games.computer.quake2 would address these issues
and provide a forum for UK players to discuss the game within an
unambiguous context..
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Charter:

uk.games.computer.quake2 is for the discussion of all aspects of
Quake2 within the UK.
Advertising is not permitted.
Encoded binaries (e.g. pictures, word processor files, .zip files
