Beard Liberation Front confirms that algorithms are not used in the Beard of the Year vote
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has confirmed that algorithms are not used to determine the shortlist in the annual Beard of the Year poll in December or any other vote run by the BLF during the year.
The campaigners say that the shortlist is drawn up by a panel of beard experts whose decisions may on occasion be eccentric or just completely wrong but any error is always entirely human.
There is no pre-set expectation as to who will the Beard of the Year vote although preferably it is someone people have actually heard of.
Further for Beard of the Year there is a democratic public poll to determine the final shortlist adding another safeguard.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, when it comes to Beard of the Year we expect the unexpected and algorithms, Bell Curves and all that Gove-Cummings BS are banned.
