"THE VOTE FOR THE NEXT NOTABLE - DISCUSSION"

Those new to the forums may have noticed a heavy pair of boots clicking their heels and the people wearing them are called "Notables". They are easily identified but their Gold Names and invariably (but with one exception perhaps) they tend to be popular characters on the forums.

One new Notable is voted in every three months and here's your chance to vote. BUT DON'T VOTE HERE. See Below.

This thread is to TALK ABOUT THE ELECTION.

One person has one vote. EVERYBODY (including Staff) can vote PROVIDING they were signed up before November 1st 2001. If you just arrived then you'll have to wait for next time - sorry.

Vote as two people and we will exclude you.
Vote more than once and we will exclude both votes.
Don't vote for the Notables.
Don't vote for a Newbie.
Don't vote for a Member of Staff.

You can only vote ONCE for a REGULAR.

What are we voting for:

The person who in your opinion has made the best OVERALL CONTRIBUTION to the forums.

How to vote?

Despite some very good suggestions we will have an open vote in a VOTE THREAD. Commencing NOW and closing at Midnight on November 22nd.

Those interested in being elected should start their campaigns. Good Luck.

What's stopping them putting in a false address?

I think the best way is how Meka suggested it.

One forum for the votes, anyone puts anything other than their vote in, and their vote becomes void.

Simple.

what I mean is when people register they have to enter thier names and their home adresses, correct?

so what if there were some sort of programme that recongnised every ones names and home adresses.

It wouldn't stop people from multiple votes but at least it will be a lot fairer. I suppose it's up to the users to be honest after this point.

The thing is, people could vote more than once if they have loads of e-mail addresses, there no way to stop them, it just wastes their time logging on with new accounts, although it's not as if talking constantly on SR's forums is doing anything constructive.

yeah. like cjh said andy could probably come up with something

how about some sort of programme that remembers everyones names and adresses that way people could only vote once.

The problem with that is, people could log in with a new account and vote again, unless your making it so JATs can't vote, or recent 'Newbies'
