Hi! I made the necessary corrections and while crosschecking I realised I typed in the wrong story number for one of the stories.

Is that okay? I've added the stories as requested in my edited vote post. Just the one, rest everything is the same and unchanged.

Thanks for the necessary corrections 🥰

One of the voted story has been changed? I am sorry dear, as per the rules we will have to consider your previous choice of votes only. If we consider change of vote from one member, we might have to do that for everyone else. Hope you understand.

Your instructions to "Please mention the story too along with its serial number" are easily misunderstood as "use the serial number to indicate the story."

"Please quote the story text along with its serial number" would make your meaning clearer.

How are they misunderstood? The three literally mean the same thing. Aren't serial number supposed to indicate? Aren't they like the primary key of a data entry (Did they teach me wrong in college? Gotta get my fees back, brb)

I think I will rely on people voting for their feedback on this one. Anyone having issues with and is voting, hit me up. As long as the votes come in, m honestly good.

Appreciate your feedbacks though, they are real helpers.

Indicate = point at. This could be as brief as giving the serial number from an index, which two voters did, and it wasn't enough for you, so I tried to help.

Mention = refer to. Your instruction to "Please mention the story too along with its serial number" could be satisfied with the word "story" and the serial number alone ("Story no. #"), or an allusion ("the pet abuse story"), or a paraphrase ("He'll break her nose if she uses the wrong mustard"), or a translation into Hinglish ("Where गयी आजकल मेरी matriarch के loving hands की रोटी?"), or an anagram, or a numerological value ...

Quote = reproduce the text. You wanted voters to do this, and if those two voters didn't understand "mention" as "quote" after reading your instructions carefully, they didn't need a reminder to "mention" from tournesol. They saw that other voters were quoting, and fixed their posts, so it's all good, except that one wrong serial number.

Red font: correct points, but you seem to be arguing against your own rule. The primary key isn't enough to identify the story; the voter must quote. Good rule, and I hope voters will follow it, even if I couldn't help.

Hi, Please check your pm! :)
