Modeps was vital in helping to fund my family's dental work after our 50 days of candy binging, a vote for Modeps, is a vote for good teef!

Yeah, I did it as more of a joke than anything, as you can see from the votes, nothing has changed

YOU WANT CHANGE?



I've got about $.03

 

[Modeps]

DerekWilson, thanks for disqualifying me. I explained that I didn't intend to win and it was a joke to Minendo and in the thread itself. At least you could make an example of me right?

:roll:

 

[Queasy]

Derek, I agree with Modeps. When I first saw the thread I immediately took it as an obvious joke and not any sort of campaigning.

 

[oznerol]

Sour grapes.

Maybe the ~30 people who voted for Modeps might have all voted for warcrow - can they re-vote? Modeps could be the Ralph Nader of this election.

 

[mugs]

Well, obviously Queasy is going to win anyway. C'est la vie. I for one support our new forum overlord, and would like to remind him that as a trusted member of this forum, I could be useful in rounding up other members to toil in his underground salt mines.

Yeah, I was surprised by this. Can't say I agree with the reasoning or the resolution. How can you take away an option mid-vote? What happens to the Modeps votes? Hanging chads? I smell a recount.

Also, I voted in every single sub forum, even though I only frequent ATCG and ATOT. :Q

 

[warcrow]

Oh man! Come on guys, Mo was obviously joking around and just have'n a good time. I dont think any of us took it seriously. :shocked:

It was definitely done jokingly, but it was also also definitely campaigning for votes in a more popular category (off-topic).

Modeps is a cool guy, but seriously, it's obvious from the amount of effort put into it he really wanted the position so he pimped himself out for more votes.

This kind of sums it up, I guess:

Anyone who couldn't figure out that we wanted specific category representatives has already shown that they don't have the judgment we will require from a moderator.

Regardless, it's just a mod position on a random forum. Not like it's something you'd put on a resume.

Did I want it? Sure, it would have been cool. But when I saw that I was at less than half of Queasy's votes, I knew it wasnt going to happen (nothing about sour grapes at all) and decided to have a little fun. It didn't take any effort at all to create those chops (for real).

It was done in jest, and any "election" that lets you view who is winning before you even vote really isn't a great idea in the first place.

Congrats Queasy, have fun dealing with Casio. :Q

Turn on the news on Nov. 4, 2008 at around 2pm. :Q

Anyway, the only fair thing to do is to delete DerekWilson's Sochl account.

Hahah, he doesn't have one, but I'm not in the business of alienating my users.

Agreed. Kinda sucks that my vote counted for nothing now.

This whole mod vote wasn't a good idea IMO anyway. I've been a longtime member of these forums, and would love to someday be able to join the ranks of the elite to give back to the community. But if all future mod decisions are going to be turned into a popularity contest, I have no chance.

That makes me feel a lot better. :roll:




j/k!

This'll be my last reply about this matter.

Next time if you hold an election for moderator, be sure to define the rules before starting it instead of making them up mid-contest. You nullified votes that were cast because you felt that what I did violated your rules. Rules that were not outlined ahead of time. Your reasoning was "Well, you should have known better. You're clearly not moderator material," which quite frankly, is bullshit. Also, your "apology" about inconvenience was pathetic.

Be sure to check all of your referral logs for people who were asking for votes outside of this website, because that probably violates your rules too. I posted to my blog, my side-project website, and twitter letting people know about the election. I think it netted me one vote. It'll take a while to check this info, but as long as its fair it wont be a big deal.

I just went into all the forums where I don't post, and voted for the person in second place, so cross check the people who post in specific forums to the votes they cast to make sure you nullify those that don't count as well.

If this post doesn't get me banned, I'll continue to post in this forum but the only person-of-authority I will have respect for is the newly elected Queasy.
