Either way you are both right and wrong.

Making a new voting process due to the invalidity of the most popular vote shouldn't deserve a second chance. It's not like it was planned for it to not be invalid, that's no one elses fault. If you truely feel that Perceptics validity beng crossed should result in a whole new voting process to commence, then that means that ALL of the sites, not just Perceptic, But all of the sites should be checked and deserve the same respect.

^ Notice how You are both right and both wrong in this example defending AISy. An option becoming invalid shouldn't result in the 2nd most decided vote to unjustible be disregarded. That's how Voting Polls work, if for some reason a domain name in this case is invalid (incedentally being the most popular in this case) then the runner up is considered the winning side. That being the case, the sites validty to begin with in the first place should have been one of the admins/mods responsibility to check on that before listing it as an option. Leading to it being fair regardless of how long this annoying process has taken over a simple name to... Take. (I agree with AISy, this has taken up way more time then it should have.)

Now let's look at it in Torquil's defense.

Members feel that their vote was disregarded if the vote they put was all of a sudden disqualified...

There is no defense.

I'd never side with this argument because the reason in their disqualified vote would be from the candidates own fault in being disqualified from some idiotic fault of their own from their past... But this is a domain name we are speaking of, and the fact of the matter is that the name most popular was introduced without a proper background check... So to speak. So it isn't really the domains fault... how can it be.

It'd be the fault of the ones who recommended the domain for candidacy...

Dislike both of your takes because it seems you're both working in favor of your own beliefs or gain (AISy avoiding putting more time into this regardless of the mistake he created. Torquil seemingly tryng to be the bias minded one in this discussion ironically giving him another chance at a name he prefers.) But i only see it fair as to cast a re-vote.
