Podficcer Poll – Is this bp?
The question: Should authors be added to the database if their statement says that we have permission, but only if we contact them first?
Take the poll to help us decide. Your feedback matters!

I added one fake vote for each answer to start, so the chart would show us its colors. Every vote after that is real.
If it just says ‘notify me’ I say yes add them because I figure the related works notification is notifying them. Idlf it specifies ‘notify me first’ I’d probably lean towards no because you still have to ask them before you can post
Totally agree with kittona on the nuanced that just a request for notification still feels like BP, but if I have to do it first before posting then it does not feel like permission
Agreed; if I’m having to tell you first that I’m making it, it’s not blanket permission. I can respect not liking surprises! But it’s not a green light, it’s a toll.
Agreed, “notify me” feels like a yes, “notify me beforehand” feels like a no
I really want to pick “Yes, add them! If I drop them a comment 60 seconds before I post, it counts as telling them ‘first.'” simultaneously with “No, don’t add them. I don’t always remember to read the statements and I don’t want to podfic these by mistake.” lol
