my question to the current mod team is very simple but important to us voters



If any of you fail to make the mod team will you be gracious in defeat or do a cerbs

I've already got my new forum set up.

I can remember when Gob took sides with Cerbs when he lost the election spitting out accusations left right and center.
Funny how some are economical with the truth

I'm taking lessons from him whenever we meet at the Cherry Tree.

As the site matures, is there an intention to raise the 'minimum post' eligibility, to vote? It wouldn't take long for throbbers to sign up and knock up a couple hundred posts, for example.

Yep, if a throbber like me can vote then the site is doomed. mwahahaha

Perhaps a little too early but due to circumstances we ended up with 2 elections last year with 3 new mods elected at the second. I think it would be eminently sensible to stagger this year's (and subsequent ones) to April and October. This allows good continuity going forward.

To answer earlier queries, the constitution allows Mods to stand and serve for 3 years as a maximum, if they're daft enough.

Mod elections are the bedrock of our ethos and I'd urge all eligible members to give serious consideration to putting themselves forward, either in April or the next one.

ETA Good point for discussion Czarky.

So you dont deny you did then?!!

Is it one member one vote for one mod or can members vote for multiple mods?

FFS I come on here for a bit of banter and what do I get, a fekin kiss from Punch, even a half witted pissed Newell would have him for breakfast!

I wouldn't dare tell you who else has been there. You'd go ballistic.

What happens if we get relegated, will we become Parkway Talk?

Cabal Talk?
Cherry Tree espionage?

If the election is for three mods you can cast a vote for up to three candidates. If you want you can just cast one vote for one candidate or one each for two candidates.


Or none at all if you think they're all wankers

Thanks for that Charlie - is the election overseen by that nice professor chap from the university?

We were talking about minimum posts of 3000.

or at least 10 more than hairy has posted so he can't join in!

My intentions to stand for Admin will be made 3 months before the vote i'll hire yea man as my campaign manager and my plan is after all my effort and time spent on it is to scrape a win by 1 vote

Im going to stand..the punchdrunk campaign starts here

VOTE PUNCHDRUNK

Angry you will need to do some posting between now and election call as hairy has posted 1192 times to date.

Saying that, with nearly 700 posts since january, I would say you might just do it!

dont previous accounts count?

i was mocking someone in anycase i cant afford yea man's wages and im not rooting through anyones bins

I like the idea of staggering it to May and October as May and July are pretty close, once the May elections are done then I think it'd be good to open it up for discussion whether us poor July souls stick it out a bit longer to make it a bit more spread out.

Charlie, Knecht and Chem will all stand again though in May because they love my cups of tea in the mod room.

They'll miss it too much if they go.

I hearby give notice of my intention not to stand for Mod.

I don't think I could be firm enough and keep you fuckers under control. I do really appreciate the job you guys do though and I know that I am too unhinged to be considered.

If anyone needs a campaign manager though I recks I could twist a few arms to get some extra votes
