(149,791 posts)But why did you make the voting a week long? That seems excessive to me.

(22,381 posts)A week is too long in my opinion. Actually, I've considered running a questionnaire post asking the others if they think, like I do, that 3 days is too long. 2 days and nights would be perfect to me.
IMO
on the third day the excitement is gone, there rarely are more than a total of 2 or 3 more votes coming in per preliminary thread on the third day, and the outcome, it seems, no longer changes on the third day ever.

Thank you so much for your hard work! It gets a lot easier after a few times.

(8,039 posts)hosting. There is no set rule on how long to run the finals or even prelims. It is up to the host. Most do it for 3 days but extra won't hurt. Voting usually slows down after the third day but that doesn't mean it stops completely. I usually use the time limit on the poll so it stops on its own when I have held contest but that was for my convenience. (In case I wasn't near a computer when time was up.)
