Re: Mod Elections '09
Honestly, Mutt just joined ... so how does he have more votes than Fang? As for preid, he has been around forever ... but has recieved criticism when he was a mod ... and he's really annoying and needs to quit with the annoying rhetoric

Re: Mod Elections '09
its easier if you just make sure you vote for yourself with it, then we can just take 1 away at the end and be sure where that vote is.

Re: Mod Elections '09
Again, you wish to accuse me of simply being made to vote? 'Made'? Is this how you treat all human beings? Wow, you have lost my vote completely now... if you were to become mod, any chance of me staying on this forum would be gone. I actually joined, because in MSN, Ptolemy (GFX Artist) told me to come because most people sucked a GFX here (in a nicer way), and I could learn something (he's like my teacher o.O). As it turned out, you guys used Forumotion. I completely loathe forumotion, and cannot use it. So I didn't post. I said I wasn't going to do it. Then a little while later, Mutt came in chat and said that he was running for mod elections on NH. I replied, 'NH?' completely forgetting this forum altogether. I then realized what he had meant, and checked here. I've chatted with Mutt a lot, and I think I know him well enough to say that he would definitely be the best for this position... far better than preid... and I personally think he would be a little bit better than Fang. If you want to accuse me of being 'made' just for this topic, then do so. Also, I would think that a 'noble member' would know better than to accuse someone of being a second account, when he could just ask the admin whether me and Mutt's IP's are the same or not (if Forumotion even allows you to do that). I only joined because Ptolemy forced me to. And to be quite truthful, I don't like many people here. I don't like the discussions here. I got myself involved in this, and that's it. I may leave right after this. I may stay to give you guys a chance, but so far, you guys have proved to me that New Horizons isn't worth the time. Nice job welcoming members, Preid.preid1220 wrote:I do say that someone who had barely 5 posts lacks power. I have never written in suck brainless manners and you obviously only joined to support mutt seeing that your only post is in the election topic, I would go as far to say that you may even be a second account created by ether mutt or another member to provide a free vote and no fears about discouraging other members. I know my grammar may not be the best at times but a good sense of judgment is more important. On a final note I ask that you keep your head down unless you want it to be bitten off.
You cannot disclude Mutt just because he 'just joined'. The voting is for who would be the best for moderation. As for the part about Preid, I'm sure you would know better about him, but as for me... I couldn't exactly stay at this forum because of him and solely him.
Honestly, Mutt just joined ... so how does he have more votes than
Fang? As for preid, he has been around forever ... but has recieved
criticism when he was a mod ... and he's really annoying and needs to
quit with the annoying rhetoric

Re: Mod Elections '09
Stop the goddamn fighting.
Can't we just get along? If Preis gave himself a free vote, it would be taken away. You know that, Chris and Mutt. And may I ask where Mutt got his 3rd vote?

Also, I never accused Preid of giving himself a vote, although, I think that is totally possible.

Re: Mod Elections '09
Chris you stated that you do not care about NewHorizons in any way, yes? if so i would kindly ask you to leave and never return. no one is forcing you to stay hear and all you do is talk big for a small fry. You only tarnish the reputations of Ptolemy and mutt who i find to be very respectable people. I do not doubt that mutt would make a good mod but at the same time he lacks experience on the forum and may not be the best choice, if these elections were held in 3 months i would gladly vote for him. Chris i find your pugnacious attitude very repulsive and before you post you should think your words over carefully.

he had 3 so he removed one now, he said it was his cousin. I'm sorry about yesterday I was being an ass.
Mutts third vote isn't suspicious, I think I know who it is.

Re: Mod Elections '09
I didn't want to join. I joined, and then I decided to become active with the community, which I heard was great. Then Mutt told me there were mod elections, so I looked at them. I looked at who was there and I made a decision. You people flamed my decision, and you ask me to leave and never return.

Re: Mod Elections '09
Pried, my friend, I give you a verbal warning for flaming.
and
This breaks rule number 3 of no flaming. It's true that he said he wants to leave, but that doesn't mean that you encourage him to do so...
As for Chris...
Chris you could disagree with other people on this forum, you could hate members of this forum and you could even hate this forum, but please when writing on this forum show a bit of respect to it. Thank You.
-------------------------------------
Pried, old sport, why don't you look at the glass that is half full and not half empty? Chris told you that he won't vote for you because you have bad writing and grammar. Instead of taking this in a bad way, look at the good side. Look at this as something you could improve upon, and maybe, just maybe, may Chris change his mind about you and a miracle might happen and he might vote for you
Chris, I can't blame you since you are still new, but it would seem appropriate that you recognize Pried's improvement in grammar and writing. This was how Pried's very first post looked like:
As you can see, there is a huge improvement from back then till today.
----------------------------
For everyone who thinks that Chris was "made" to vote for Mutt. I assure you, that I checked his IP address, and he is an independent member, in other words no one "made" him to cheat.
----------------------------
Chris, I understand that you dislike Forumtion (I personally use it because I think it is the best host, in terms of its mass capabilities and it gets updated often), and maybe this forum as a whole. I would suggest that instead of just telling us this, maybe you could share some suggestions on how we could improve this forum . Suggestions would be gladly looked into and maybe implemented.
----------------------------
Till now I didn't vote but congratulate Mutt so far, for having the highest amounts of votes.
BTW, a word of advice t Fang, instead of complaining that you won't win, try persuading people to vote for you , that's how you win elections.
----------------------------
Finally, I have decided this. Whoever votes must write a post on this topic saying that "I have voted" . You do not need to say who you voted for, but you need to say that you voted.
This will ensure that this is a fair election since the number of votes must match the number of posts that said that they voted, at the end.

Re: Mod Elections '09
I have a question,
Why is there a vote on mods and the admin not choose one ?
In essence, a mod should not be about the one that is more popular, a mod is one that should have already demonstrated the ability to handle situations and be diplomatically positive in that role. I believe the Admin should choose one that he/she feels that can work with the rest of the team rather than the one who is more popular.
In having to choose a mod by popularity, it already creates enough pressure for the incumbent to favor the person who has voted for him/her over the one that hasn't. Even though this is a secret ballot, rumours do fly and soon enough it is know who voted for whom.
Just my opinion, take it as you will.
