Time to move forward with the Election of the next Notable.
One man one vote on August 19th.
You can only vote HERE - in THIS THREAD.
First vote counts - vote twice and you have spoilt your ballot. Don't sign up new names to vote more than one - or you'll be disqualified.
JAT's can't vote and NOR can anybody who signed up less between 1 and 5 days before the vote.
Don't vote for staff - they can't be elected.
Don't vote for JAT's or Newbies - they can't be elected.
Don't vote for Notables - they are already elected.
Do your campaigning here or all over the forums. Drive up your popularity as there can be ONLY ONE new Notable.
DON'T VOTE until August 19th.
When you do vote say "I vote for ...."
That's it. It won't be the same without the er-no campaign.
You er-no it makes sense.

I go away on holiday tomorrow and won't be back until the 25th. So when and where do I vote early?

Why?
how expensive sdd?
I think notables shouldn't be elected, I think that regulars and even newbies if it's possible should be made notable status for reaching a grand total of 10 or more GADs/FADs. (Yes, it can be a mix, as long as the total is 10 or more).
The reasoning behind this is as follows:
Notables are primarily there for their contributions to the forums over time. Most if not all of the current 7 notables have achieved the 10 or more landmark, which also shows that they have remained longstanding members, and that they have contributed in a positive way to the forums with quality posts.
By removing the election method of selection, this encourages regulars and even newbies to hang around and post quality rather than quantity in an effort to gain notable status, 'working for it' if you will. It also removes any possibility of favoritism, election rigging, pointless 'vote for me!' threads etc.
On the downside this would remove the 'election fever' in the forums every 3 months, but on the upside the ratio of quality posts to quality spam may get better.
It's just a thought...
