So after 10 days of voting it stands at.. 57 votes- Only photos clearly identifying the member. 38 votes- Photos of member or with partner only, not groups. 9 votes- Photos of anything, I'm not bothered t'other 2 categories have so far drawn no votes. Rough percentages are 57 votes-59 percent 38 votes-39 percent 9 votes-9.5 percent My Question now is how long do we go with this, is anyone making a decision ?

well said Old red


so it seams 59% want only photos


not as previously stated 90% only photos or partner photos


which I see as merging top two. where as I saw the options as single options. If it was meant to be option 1 and 2 as being the same then why is it two options

The top 2 options will probably be selected as they have the majority votes (and to be honest it's the same policy that we have in place now, and makes sense)

Hi Loon, I don't think it's been a waste of time cos the discussion over the vote has helped to clarify what peeps think of the profile policy.....who or what are you praying for in your profile pic?


Buzz - nice to know you're not gay...& I'm not as dumb as I look cos I know Guy is a famous TT racer, he's signed up for Tyco TAS Suzuki this year.......ps. I think I preferred your old profile pic with Guy...

Thanks Buzz, nice pic


Old Red - maybe the low numbers means that peeps are happy with the rules as they are, if they wanted a change then they had the opportunity to vote.....

There have always been Mods on this site, so not sure how that has any effect

you can only go by votes cast if folk don't vote you can only work with the votes you have sorry if you don't like the outcome but that's how it works

Patty, maybe the lack of votes is down to the fact that folk know they won't be listened to!! 59 percent outweighs 38 percent (at least to me it does). As Loon points out the first 2 options were seperate entities not a coalition, therefor if 59 percent of those that voted vote for pic of member only then the majority wins the vote. The way this has turned out shows the majority do not win, the staff apparently do. Personally I do not give a hoot what you put up as a profile pic, but the rules do state a clear picture of the member! This I have found in the past makes it easier to recognise other members at meets etc, as I stated earlier in the thread had it not been for me recognising Wills at Rivi Barn I may not have been here as long as I have, whether you class BM as a dating site or a social site it is without doubt a good thing if you can see clearly the other members on here.

Red you are right that a pic of the person only has come out on top, but surely being able to satisfy 90% of the folks that took the time to vote is better than 54%?

Isnt that the majority?

- Set as main profile picture. Only available within "Profile Photos" album(NB: Main profile photo MUST be of yourself, without anything obscuring your face Surely rules is rules.

I think I'll bow out of this one gracefully now. Said my bit. The site will continue as ever
