Msg# 3697

If more than one person nominates a story... Posted by dwimmer\_laik April 04, 2005 - 23:08:12 Topic ID# 3697
Will this cause a problem? As we nominate, should we be checking to
make sure that no one has submitted the same story, or will it be easy
enough to just delete forms when doing check-ballots and/or contacting
authors?

The nominator should look first. You can use the Search feature in Browse
Stories to look for the title. If you see it and see that it's by the same
author (there are different stories with the same title), don't nominate it.

If you should happen to miss it, hopefully, the Author Liaison will catch
it. I caught a duplicate earlier today. Ideally then the later nomination
should be withdrawn. Unless the Liaison has already e-mailed the Author
with the other nomination's info. We don't want to confuse an author too
much.

If Liaison's can't withdraw a nomination, they should e-mail me with the
name of the story and the nominator so I can withdraw the right one.
