Live Poll: Movies With Most Unexpected Plot Twists

@edwardhedelius1​ 

I'd suggest to remove the quotation marks and add a title which describes the whole issue. I wouldn't put a question mark into the title. For example the title could be:

Poll Suggestion: The Most Unexpected Plot Twists 

or

Poll Suggestion: Movies With Most Unexpected Plot Twists

That would be a title everyone would accept at one look. Another thing is to search in the poll board, if that title for the suggestion already exists. If there already is a title, which is to close or exact the same, an admin will mention it. No double titles. Ideas which are too close to already existing polls will predictably not go live. With the lines of Dan, you have a very good chance to do good polls.

Thank you I edit but this is not the information I was given last time I made one.

Cheers

P.S.: I see no problem with the content of your idea. It's good. I like it, somehow. :D

I dig you man, do you have a imdb I can look at.. compare movies etc? 

@edwardhedelius1​ 

This is a community wich bases on positive communication. The admins are very nice and helpful. And they do help very much. The guidelines are still valid for making polls. You said you were on the poll board before? Obviously not as edwardhedelius1. Which polls did you make? Or am I right, when I guess it was another poll board?

Btw: Thank you for making the edit in the title. It looks much better now. :D

Went under @edwardhedelius but got banned out of nowhere and could not receive any help getting my sprinkklr account back.

My first poll 

@Breumaster​ Thanks for the tip, totally agree:!)

@edwardhedelius1​ 

"... but got banned out of nowhere ..."

I'm wondering about that. The guys here don't bann someone without reason. The times I got that someone was banned always was on occasional reason. I know there was a guy who was nasty and trolled others. He was banned totally righteously.  When I was weak in English language I was also rough some times, but it was more about language dificulties. Still got no problem here. Nice guys, really. I guess there are three things what may happened. Unregistered technical difficulties, a totally misunderstanding or you did something that stood against the rules in here. Here may also be underage people around. Did you use tough swearwords? No go.

I will copy paste the answer I got from tech support and ofc i dont use swearwords or any discrimination or anything like that, I think it had to do that I answered a question wrong, insane if you ask me. Here follows: 

@edwardhedelius1​ 

Thank you for telling so openly. I can't tell you what went wrong. I guess I didn't even get what happened. In my memory they banned a guy because he was offensive. But normally the don't bann no one for no reason. We have a very positive community. Mostly all are helpful and respectful

@Breumaster​ Wheres the intro in the list that I should link this suggestion? 

@edwardhedelius1​ 

The intro is the field where you wrote:

Which movie contains the most unpredicted change in expected outcome of the movie plot?

Just the question-mark at the end is missing.

Under the line you wrote:

Tell us here.

(Could also be another line, but has to contain the backlink-URL)

1- How to make a list that eventually can become a poll: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls089306408/

@edwardhedelius1​ 

exactly! :D

All done?

Please use the syntax like you did in your first poll idea [link=URL]text[/link]

URL = the url of this site

[link=URL] First part of the syntax

inbetween the text

[/link] Second part of the syntax

You should know how it works, because of your first time you did:

It has to be klickable for the user.

so Now?

@edwardhedelius1​ 

Thank you for making the edit. There is just one bracket ] missing before "Discuss the poll here.

The bracket has to be set direct after the last character of the URL. Otherwise it won't be clickable. Then it should work.

Thanks, all done

@edwardhedelius1​ 

Great! That works. Now it looks close to fit. I still don't know, if this poll was done before, so I don't know if it's accepted, but I know there is one little thing you still can do to make it look better. Usually we don't ask the question in the title and then re-ask it in the intro. For your consideration I would suggest you to cut the question in the title of the list (on IMDb) and take the same title like in the suggestion. That makes it easy to find with one look. I'd suggest to cut the title of the list down to:

Movies With Most Unexpected Plot Twists

Then it's about to wait for suggestions, other corrections from the admins and the best thing: being chosen for going live. If you want to know, if this idea was done before, (which usually is to be done before working out the idea), you can search here in the forum with (in that case) words like poll, twist, etc. But it looks very much better now. :D

‎Poll Plot Twist | IMDb Community Forums (sprinklr.com)

One moment, the back-link doesn't work. Is the bracket direct on the last character (f) or is a space inbetween the f and the bracket? If there is a space inbetween the last character of the URL and the bracket, then it doesn't work. It would take the space as a part of the url, which isn't.

:/ no space

@edwardhedelius1​ 

The link doesn't work, please try it yourself. I see there is a / before http://...

Please remove the / before http://...

The syntax has to be clear, else it won't work.

Thank you for changing the title of the list. It looks very much better now.

THERE WE GO MY BROTHER<33333

@edwardhedelius1​ 

Now the link works. Thank you. :D

Let's wait for suggestions and corrections. I'm still not the best in English. I learn, but still have to trust on the verdict of the admins. Jessica often proofreads the texts. She is verry fit for that matter. It's a community thing to get polls going live. I like your idea, let's see if there are suggestions. If you want to hide the text of the suggestions because of containing spoilers, you can do the same like with the URLs: [spoiler]option-text[/spoiler] (exact syntax necessary) to hide the text of an option and let the user who votes choose for himself to read by hovering the mouse-pointer on it. If you want to do it, use the syntax within the option(s). When telling twists it can be helpful to not spoil the voters. It's annoying to get the twist told before watching the movie.

Fantastic help, will try to hide spoilers RN, and for your own knowledge your english are fantastic and nothing to think about, if you have the contacts later on I would very much like to now why I got banned before because of inappropriate behavior because that does not match my moral. 

Thanks again

@edwardhedelius1​ 

You're welcome. I try to be helpful as I can, but I'm not so into it like others. E.g. I can't help you with the banning thing, because I'm not so into it and I have not the authority to decide what's to do. And I don't have the insight about the processes. I'm a plain user. Maybe you'll ask Dan later.

@Breumaster​ Thanks for all the support and guidance you offered here.

@Pencho15​ 

I like our community and how it works. Thank you all for the help you provided to me. I tried to keep it in the spirit of the forum. :D

@TheOldJalapenoman​ 

Which qoute would you like with that?

@edwardhedelius1​

 "Oh my God. I'm back. I'm home. All the time, it was... We finally really did it.  You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!"  Planet of the Apes

I wont pick a quote from the Crying Game.  It is a surprise ending, but I find the movie reprehensible.  

@TheOldJalapenoman​ 

Will do as soon as I have time.

Totally agree with you, memorable quote,

thank you for the input!

@Breumaster​ 

I was really close to change from American Psycho to Saw actually, love the increasing intensity throughout the movie and the ending aswell. If I choose to add it, what quote would you like?

When I have you on the thread, when will the admins make their choice to make this a poll or not?

@edwardhedelius1​ 

You can also keep American Psycho and add Saw, too. As long as it doesn't exceed 35 options it's ok.

If you'd ask me, I'd add the quote I suggested. "The key to that chain is in the bathtub." That's the first he sayed when the "dead" Jigsaw stood up and Adam (and the audience) realized that he was alive all the time they were in the lost place. That was direct following the twist and the moment when Adam realized that he is done, because he pulled the plug of the drain and the key vanished. So he couldn't escape from the place and at the end Jigsaw closed the door. What a bad dog! Ugly him.

@edwardhedelius1​ 

P.S.: It doesn't depend on me or the options I suggest. Sometimes it's a matter of occasion, e.g. if the poll fits the events that happen. Around the time the Oscar's are presented, you have the best chances by doing a poll which is about the Oscars as a subject. At christmas, a christmas poll has good chances. At easter maybe an easter-poll would fit to be chosen. Around halloween horror movies or TV-series have the best subject. It's better to make such ideas at least 2-4 weeks before.

Beside that, it's always an advantage to give the poll-idea an fitting and interesting form like yours is now. If you have too less options (1-5, not more) it's better to make a face-off. The face-offs are released on mostly each friday. If you want, you can also look around on the discussions of other polls. Maybe there is an interesting idea of other users you would like to join. ;)

I guess there are poll suggestions in a three digit ammount each month so it can take some  time until the poll goes live. Please be patient. I for myself have 200 polls live. Getting my first poll going live took some time, I remember. I got around 200 lists, which are still pending. ... each day there are 3-4 polls released, normaly. It's always good when other users take notice of you. It's a good sign, when more different users suggest options on your idea.

P.S.:  If a month is over and no one reacted you can also write a *bump*-message to bring it up again, but please don't over-use it. From time to time it's ok, but we had times when several users did the bump every day or week. That's annoying.

@edwardhedelius1​ Your poll is already under consideration, we're giving it sometime in case someone has more options to add to the list.

@Pencho15​ 

you made my day:)

Thank you for even taken it into consideration:)

@edwardhedelius1​ 

Congratulations! :D

@Pencho15​ 

thank you :))

@eebolger​ 

Saw the Sith Sense here the other day, and just wow, or in other words what a masterpiece.
