Official PokeCommunity Election #2 Discussion Topic

[aRedMoon]

It's being planned.

Dates are in the process right now.


IT HAS NOT STARTED

YOU CAN NOT SIGN-UP ANYWHERE YET!!

 

[Kyogre-chan]

As soon as possible. =D

Brittany and FG? They've already won it once, they don't really need to go again, do they? ^_^;

And staff should definitely be allowed to run. The benefits of being (Vice) President are your own usergroup with a coloured name of your choice, so it's not really fair keeping staff out of it.

 

[aRedMoon]

Yeah, but people had such a problem with it before...

1) Get it underway ASAP.
2) Nah, they ran before. Why run again? >_>
3) No. They already have a color... (even if it's hard on the eyes)

 

[Ryoutarou]

1)ASAP
2)Nope, I know in reallife they could but...yeah...
3)Nope, neither Brittany nor FG were mods when they ran

 

[Kyogre-chan]

1) *nods*
2) Exactly. There's a good 6,000 or so members here at PC, so allowing the previous winners to run again isn't really fair.
3) It's not having a colour in general, it's having your own usergroup with your own personalised colour. It's not like any random staff member can go to Steve and ask, "Can I have my own usergroup?" Besides, I planned on running before I was promoted...

 

[aRedMoon]

:/ Well, I guess it'll have to be majority on the staff thing. We'll see...

 

[Kyogre-chan]

The fact that Brit and FG weren't staff when they started running doesn't mean that we should disallow staff to enter. I was planning to enter long before I was promoted, so just suddenly saying that I (and other staff) can't run... >_>;

 

[aRedMoon]

There was the same problem the last election, there's a large group that don't want y'all running.

 

[Thomas]

1) When do we want to hold it?

We should have Bi-Annual Elections...so now :P

2) Can Brittany/FG run again?

I dont think that Brit or FG should be able to run again.

3) Should staff be allowed to run this time around?

No I do not think that staff should run.

 

[aRedMoon]

Annually is a long time. :/

6 months is good, I'd think.

 

[Kyogre-chan]

Well, if they can give me one good reason why, I'll shut my mouth about it. Otherwise, I'm against it.

 

[aRedMoon]

You already stand out. You've been picked as a good member by the higher staff, which are more important than the lowly members....\

 

[Trikip]

Annually is a long time. :/

6 months is good, I'd think.

I'd say 4 months actually. 6 months is half a year, which is kinda while.

 

[Kyogre-chan]

Um... it's not about getting people to notice you. It's about having your own usergroup, dagnammit. Besides, JA and Sarah ran last time.

EDIT: The elections started in September, so it's too late for 4 months, Trikip.

 

[aRedMoon]

And both lost. Even if they did cheat.

@Trikip: It's already been nearly 6 months. ^^

 

[Kylie-chan]

I think maybe keep FG and Brit out of it, sorry but like... o_o;;; Just... like they said, it's not really fair. I don't see why leave the mods out of it, maybe the higher staff, but I don't think the mods shouldn't be able to run. I understand the problem but grow up, people >> If you were modded would you still like to run?

 

[aRedMoon]

I didn't want to run when I was a mod. Well... only for a purple name, but that's beside the point. :P


I think banning SMods+ would work. o_O

 

[Ryoutarou]

Actually, the no S-Mod+ thing would be a good idea for it O_o

 

[Kyogre-chan]

*nods in agreement with Kylie* It's kind of upsetting. I've wanted to run really badly since the elections ended, and I know that 98% of people who were offered a mod job would accept it.

 

[aRedMoon]

I'm all for that. No SMods+... but it's not like they'd want to run anways. <_<
