...Ah, of course I would not be quick enough to finish editing before another post showed up:

Perhaps, but I'd say a large majority enjoy it either way. And although I know PC hasn't been known to be a full democracy in the past on things, where it's either yay or nay, maybe there should be a vote on whether or not the community would enjoy having it back. That would clear up the dust on why specifically people wouldn't want to hold it.

In my honest opinion, if you're against a PC election, you'd pretty much be against the establishment of anything 'new' and 'unique' into this forum. I mean, we can't talk about cake 10,000 times in the DCC, it gets repetitive XD And each section of the forum goes through it's lulls and rollercoasters of activity (Roleplays, battling, graphic art, etc.) so something fun and involvement might shake the place up a bit.

I'm in favor of having a vote on Presidency. Or at least have the staff go vote on it. XD Just as long as, if it's denied, better explanations are provided as to why, rather then just letting the topic be pushed to the back of our brains.

If a majority found the idea to be acceptable, would it not already be back in place? Indeed, many more members have joined since then, and the vote might change because of that. However, have many of the older members had a change of heart regarding the issue? ...All that I am saying here is that getting one's hopes up based mostly on the responses of a small group of users, only a few of whom happen to be staff, is not exactly realistic.

I believe that Ausaudriel already summarized the general argument against it: it would only amount to another popularity contest, which some people believe is covered in the Member of the Month.

...Since when is cake repetitive!?

Though of course, I have to bring up the point that not everything that the majority of members want around will be coming. Take clans in the battle thread, for example. While a good number of people were for them(and I myself was in the middle of designing one when they were banned), they were ultimately rejected because they caused too much spam, and thus too much work for the mods than was necessary. If an PC election ends up too spammy as Clans ultimately ended up, it'll most likely receive the same fate.

That is also true. Even if a majority of members do ask for the return of PC Presidential Elections, whether or not such actually happens is still ultimately up to the staff.

If this thing happens, I expect a lot of bribes people vying for my endorsement.

You could be my campaign manager xD
I think nominations would be good too.

Indeed, this DCC title is very sexy.

You will be! XD And meh, I wouldn't think things would get spammy. You'd have to be a pretty rotten member of PC overall to consistently spam a campaign for someone else. In which case the staff can take proper action.

Luke I made an HQ thread gogogogogo.

And yeah, bribes for endorsement would be awesoooome. I've been needing a new avatar/signature. :] I wonder how far an AA's vote goes these days...

Yours is worth like, a bajillion. :D

O_O NOOOZ. LIMEY WILL GIVE YOU LYKE, 10 LIMES.

Get Out of My Honey Pot said:
Psh. I have more rep then BeachBoy or Audy. My vote counts more than them.
Click to expand...

Mmkay, you getz 20 limes.
 
So you're running Lime? I'd be happy to help any way I can. May I suggest coming up with a Lime-based mascot?
 
The only thing I was taught in school was to never compete against BeachBoy in anything. He beats you before whatever it is even starts.

Depressing but true.
 
Luke said:
I think I beat BeachBoy in every battle we ever had.

The start of the first PC server begs to differ, and so does one of the NU testing battles.

So I call BS.
 
If I was a moderator, the staff would probably gang up and de-mod me the next day. XD
