Community Leader Election

.

At least we told everyone about it instead of changing it and not saying anything.

Actually only the people that voted will know because chances are someone who has not voted has not subscribed to this thread and therefore will not know you just posted that statement. An mass private message would be better.

Kind of like reverse 911 to tell people to do w/e.

You mean that they won't notice the election thread, despite the fact that there is an announcement across the top of the forum that only goes away once you view it; that the Announcements forum is the first forum members see in the forum list; and that the Election thread is stickied in it and shows up as the most recent post?

They also posted an announcement, but announcements don't always show up on Tapatalk. My Tapatalk is also set up to open to the "latest threads" screen, which means no stickies either.

And as long as people keep posting responses in this thread, it keeps it showing up in the latest post view of tapatalk. Even if it didn't, it would still show up as an unread thread since their last visit because of the updated posts to it since their last visit.

Rom-bama, y u steal election?

 

[Aidey]

Why? We're near the same level of results we've had the past two elections, and a week is more than enough time for members to vote.

At least we told everyone about it instead of changing it and not saying anything.

Actually, if you look at the results for the election in 3/12 and 3/11 (the two most recent I could find) there were way more votes issued in 3/12 and 3/11. In 3/12 there were 67 voters and in 3/11 there were 98 voters. This poll only has 41 voters.

And it hasn't changed in about 24 hours. My guess is that we'll top out around the results of the last election (67). History has shown me that the longer these go on, the fewer votes that are cast towards the end. Unlike political elections, there has never been a last minute rush to cast ballots.

I also want to point out the announcement hasn't been up the whole time. It was just put back up a couple hours ago. It has been missing for days.

And I'm almost positive in the 3/11 election you guys sent out a PM.

The announcement disappears once you read it. When I updated it, I reset it to show up for all members again.

I believe MMiz was going to work on sending out an email/PM.

Someone should remind him to send it to all members and not just communty leaders

I've never clicked on the announcement, so I'm not sure why it would have vanished.

Here we are using made up monikers to vote for people with made up names and usually made up avatars (whom we've never even met, in most instances).
Ah, sort of like Chicago, or Florida.

Just an update, the election will end one week earlier than originally posted, so please be sure to get your vote in.

Are we sure that's still not too long? I thought you were supposed to seek medical attention for any election lasting longer than four hours?


Seriously, though - in previous elections, we've gotten most of the participation early in the election. If we truly feel we haven't gotten a good cross-section of the membership, we'll re-evaluate.

Four days left to vote.

Hard to decide who are the lesser of the evils. Most have shown by their posts that they will not be unbiased in handling matters. The only one I feel would truly be good and fair is to far back in the pack unless a bunch of late voters arrive.

I know I am very opinionated and always right therefore I know I would never be a good moderator. Not that I would ever be asked based on my history of infractions, warnings, etc.

Having an opinion and being biased don't necessarily disqualify you, if it did no one on this forum would be qualified. Looking at the list I don't see anyone who wouldn't be a fair moderator. A big part of the reason we have multiple mods is so we act as a check and balance on each other. When I was a CL I had my decisions overturned multiple times as did all the other CLs. We all had our touchy topics that we would occasionally loose our objectivity on but when we did we would be ego checked pretty quickly.
