Test of a good classifier

If we are going to adopt one of these nominations, it should be able to handle all of these groups. If it has difficulty or would be open to interpretation, then we're no better off with the changes than we were before them. Some of these are obvious, of course, but others of them are perhaps not quite so obvious, depending on how you try to draw the lines. Please keep this list in mind as you evaluate each classification system.

1. 404: Barhah not found - A ghost town reclamation group that specializes in repairing ruined suburbs.
2. Big Coffin Hunters - PKs the Dulston Alliance on the grounds that they are bad for survivors.
3. The Big Prick - Goes around mass-reviving zombies.
4. British Broadcasting Corporation - A news organization.
5. Cobra - A PKing group.
6. Escape - A group with no objectives other than to survive for a certain number of days, then commit suicide.
7. Dead Air - A zombie group that works to destroy the cell phone towers in the game.
8. Feral Undead - A group of loosely aligned zombie players.
9. Illuminati - A bounty hunter group.
10. Malton College of Medicine - Is known for their organized lectures and first aid runs.
11. Malton Telephone - Works to maintain the cell phone towers in the game.
12. Organization XIII - Fights for whichever side is in the minority.
13. Philosophe Knights - A group which tries to benefit and educate survivors by using PKing as a teaching instrument.
14. RDD - A death cult group that has career zombies and PKers in it as well.
15. The Ridleybank Resistance Front - The zombie group that defines zombie groups.
16. St. Ferreol's Hospital Noise Abatement Society - A territorial zombie group.
17. Soldiers of Crossman - A survivor group.
18. Urban Anonymous - A nonsensical zombie-human alliance group.
19. Z.A.L.P. - A life cult group.

Discussion

Neutral Heading

As this is a poll, it may be best to have what is essentially an abstention heading (If 5 people are in favour of change, only 1 is against, but 30 abstain, it might be sensible not to carry out that course of action). On pages like Policy Discussion, where abstentions are irrelevant, they aren't needed, but here, where it's only a case of gauging public opinion, it may be best to have a neutral header. i.e. "I am neither satisfied nor dissatisfied".--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk !

I assume you are thinking about the first question? -MHSstaff 19:30, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Yep.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 19:31, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

How would that work? Am I satisfied? Yes. Am I satisfied? No? Am I satisfied. I don't Know? Surely that falls under yes? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 19:31, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

e.g. I don't care what system is used for the group box. I'm not necessarily satisfied and I'm not necessarily dis-satisfied. It could be misleading without a neutral header.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 19:34, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

My take is if you don't care, than you are ok with the status quo and should poll under "I am satisfied." Abstaining = Yes in my mind.-MHSstaff 19:36, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
