^ I thought it was just me! I tried uploading photos for Celebrity Scooper Bowl and I could see the images for a couple of seconds before the embedded link breaks However when I copy & paste the links onto a new tab it works!

Guys how do we edit the title of a thread? I don't see that option anymore. I accidentally merged a Maybeline thread and Gigi Hadids thread together, with the Maybeline title taking over Gigi's thread.

BZ is acting up today

Personal Thread request Pretty & I got:

Hola folks. I'm sending this message to nominate both CandleVixen & RIP_Cabrini_Green to have their own member topic Its been sometime since we had some new additions and both I think deserve the honor. Candle has been nothing but a sweetheart and a joy to have around here with her participation in comps and all around persona. And RIP has contributed so much to many model topics and of course has been quite the commentary man as well

Hopefully you will take my noms for consideration

Based on the guidelines we agreed on (http://www.bellazon.com/main/index.php?s=&showtopic=26656&view=findpost&p=2796627), with the except of being nominated by at least 2 members, I think CV and RIP checks off on everything else. I have neutral opinions about both so I am ok with whatever the majority decides. If we do grant both of them threads I think it is best if they were not started at the same time. Maybe 2 months apart (pretty sure we had a discussion about this before).

Thoughts?

I never understood the frequency uh huh

If I'm honest, I don't know much about either of them, but I'll happily go with the majority viewpoint.

ATM the forum is posting doubles of people's posts in certain threads. It didn't here, but in the comp threads I've noticed a couple of people who are double and triple posting, myself included

Could they be people with slow computers hitting submit reply more than once thinking it didn't register? I know that was the case with the computer I made before it gave up the ghost anyway. Its never happened to me on a fast one though.

We changed over to nginx (a different web server) 2 days ago, but I havent seen the issue. Is it still happening? Is it only on a particular thread?

I haven't been paying much attention to tell if it's still going on, but the bulk of the issues seems to be stem from the Bellazon Competitions section. I'll keep an eye out and let you know if I see the double posting again.

Haven't seen anymore double post, I guess it was just a hiccup in the system.

Myfashionexp is throwing another tantrum about the Celebrity Scoop rules She sent me the PM below. I am not an advanced math person so perhaps one of you could make sense of her point and explain it to me in plain English ...

1 hour ago, Myfashexp said:

Hi .... I changed my mind explaining my point of view on the fly while the game is played ...... actually if I start a new round it's going to be over before I manage to explain

Let's start with this

I'll put this "hypothesis" on trial. I'll examine the real evidence to see if this hypothesis should be kept or rejected.

this is the first hall since the game reset:

<___base_url___>/topic/36556-celebrity-scoop/?do=embed&page=3003#comment-3837025

the date is 24 Sep

the last hall before you change the rule:

http://www.bellazon.com/main/topic/36556-celebrity-scoop/?page=3532#comment-3863567

the date is 12 Oct.

after the hall you can see dialogs between me you and Laura .......... and the application of the "new girls" rule for the first time.

Let's see what happened in those 18 days original rules applied.

84 girls were halled ..... it's a rate of 4,66 girls /day. It doesn't so far seems like a stale situation ...... but let's take a step further. Let's see if the list is stalled ... are there really some celebs occuping the list indefinitely or the queue is well served and the list is continuously renewed?

this is the list after the last round played with original rules (round 84):

<___base_url___>/topic/36556-celebrity-scoop/?do=embed&page=3533#comment-3863595

1. Anna Cywińska (0)
2. Jessica Paré (0)
3. Josie Maran (0)
4. Nicole Meyer (0)
5. Emily Ratajkowski (0)
6. Xenia Deli (0)
7. Jennifer Lawrence (0)
8. Hanna Edwinson (0)
9. Hailey Clauson (0)
10. Kate Beckinsale (0)

This is the list 10 round before that (round 74):

<___base_url___>/topic/36556-celebrity-scoop/?do=embed&page=3471#comment-3861486

1. Michea Crawford (0)
2. Camilla Christensen (0)
3. Irina Sharipova (0)
4. Anna Cywińska (0)
5. Anne Vyalitsyna (0)
6. Anais Pouliot (0)
7. Jessica Paré (0)
8. Claudia Schiffer (0)
9. Josie Maran (0)
10. Jessica Hart (0)

What's the renewal ratio? 90% .......... only Anna Cywińska didn't make it. In fact the list not only was renewed but the girls populating it in the past made it to the hall. If you pick any 2 lists about 10 - 12 rounds apart you'll see that that's rather the case than the exception. This is a pretty fast renewal rate.

Let's see now the evidence after the rule changed.

12 Oct 2016 to 3 Feb 2016 (date of last hall) ----> 113 days playing with new rules

127 (current hall number) - 84 = 43 halls

43/113 = 0,38 halls per day ( 3 days to hall a celeb ..... a stale situation as per the rythm. it has more to do with the new rule than you can imagine.)

Let's see what happens with the lists:

List of the last round played (round 126):

<___base_url___>/topic/36556-celebrity-scoop/?do=embed&embedComment=3962978&embedDo=findComment

1. Kate Bock (0)
2. Gracie Carvalho (0)
3. Kelly Gale (0)
4. Christy Turlington (0)
5. Pauline Hoarau (0)
6. Oprah Winfrey (0)
7. Sui He (0)
8. Kate Grigorieva (0)
9. Roosmarijn de Kok (0)
10. Janel Parrish (0)

10 rounds before (round 116)

1. Kate Bock (0)
2. Gracie Carvalho (0)
3. Kelly Gale (0)
4. Christy Turlington (0)
5. Josefina Montane (0)
6. Sofia Vergara (0)
7. Pauline Hoarau (0)
8. Anne Hathaway (0)
9. Hailey Outland (0)
10. Sara Jean Underwood (0)

50% of the girls are still in the list after 10 rounds .... and that's not an accident. it's the case not the exception ..... try any couple of lists 10-12 rounds apart.

Check this out:

<___base_url___>/topic/36556-celebrity-scoop/?do=embed&page=3546#comment-3864086

Stormbringer adds Kate Bock .......... it's 12 Oct and round 86 .......... it's 4 Feb as of the time I'm posting this, 46 rounds after and Kate is still in the list !!!

Actually your hypothesis is not correct ....... evidence shows otherwise. It's not helping the game really. After the game reset you said there is not going to be any change in the rules for "the shake of changing the rules" ...... you violated your own rule 84 rounds after. Don't you think just because you an admin you are immune and you can't ruin the game just like we did

Anyway ...... let me know that you read this and checked the data, let me know about any objections ....... and I'll go on with this after Monday (it's exam period here, can't do it earlier)

Do you have any training in combinatorics, queuing theory, game theory, mathematical modeling .... and similar disciplines?

I was thinking maybe the easiest solution is to have her create a new game/thread based on the rules she would like. Thoughts?
