"In the next notable election...."

We should be able to vote a Notable OUT. Out on his ass I say. Let's face it, half of them hardly appear on the board as much as they did when they were first voted in. They were given their status because they make the forum a "fun place to come and visit" as the Notable definition says, but the majority of them hardly visit themselves, let alone make it fun for others. As such, we should be able to vote them off and give them a good old fashioned booing, like some sort of forum pantomime.


What say you regular folk?

How about we get retired notable status?

We can get a free GAD pass, a special forum so we can have commitee meetings... then we can moan to ourselves, say how good the forums used to be. Can we have a lock on the forum? I don't like half these regulars, they hang around my topics after nine at night, I bet you they're selling drugs or something.

My name's a different colour?!?

*looks*

Oh yeah!

To be honest with you, i didnt even know there was a notable election until i saw timmargh's name in a different colour yesterday.

If you vote someone a Notable, they get the title for good, whether the quality of their posts go up or down. It's not Big Brother and it's not a symbol of how many posts you've submitted recently. For example, Meka isn't half as prevalent as he was a year or so ago, but still posts quality stuff.

Besides, I can see whoever losing their title going like this...

And everyone who voted them off going like this...

Notable Elections did used to be a lot more frequent I remember, every couple of months I thought.

Sorry but I agree too, infact as I said to Grandprix, I had no idea how some people even ended up as notables and having been here ever since the forum was created I certainly don't remember there being notable elections and yet if notable elections were every 3 months, then by my limited maths skills this forum should be well over a year and half older than it actually is. Unless of course some stupid idiot thought it would be far better to have an election every 2 months then that would explain it.

Of course if all the notables were to lose their status tomorrow, how many of them would win it back? I'm probably guessing a couple at most.

Personally I don't see any benefit in having notables, unless someone could list some that I could agree with?

It's quality not quantity that matters.

Notable elections should be every 6 months.
Legend elections once a year. The Legend colour would obviously be black.

Some notables need special recognition, like Meka or Grix, for instance.

I actually think we have a nice selection of Notables. Indeed, some have moved on and aren't posting anymore but that's not to say they don't deserve it or don't continue to deserve it.

It's a difficult subject because I can understand both sides the argument.

I agree.

I agree

We should vote some one to be notable while voting someone to hand down there notable position!
