"A suggestion"

I propose we don't let newbies vote in the next election. Because then we get

A) People creating new usernames

B) Pro Evo

C) Pro Evo

D) People who don't know what they're talking about making the decision

E) Pro Evo

If you let newbies vote this time, we'll get Natbuc or someone as notable. Don't let them, and it'll be someone good like Mr Happy.

Discuss.

But that'll take the fun (and the spam admittedly) out of FOG. It's funny to see people ramble on about why they should be a member of the forums with a gold name and so on.

Also, Mandatare is right in a way. If people vote rather than wait for a private choice, then at least we know we're getting someone that is popular with at least 20 people, and not just with the SR staff.

Either way we witness more spam, but either way it can be more fun.

I disagree with that idea. Staff have their favorites and they may pick someone no-one wants. Posters voting is a good idea but it has to be perfected before these arguments stop.

It's only a Yellow name, does it really matter this much?

The obvious answer here is to not hold notable elections.

The staff read plenty of posts, they have to in order to distribute GADS. And given that these are their forums, who better to pick a notable?

If notables are to be voted in, then it should be a private vote/decision between the staff.

No newbies, no spam accounts, no morons, no debate, no problem.

I would do, but at the moment I don't even want to lift a finger (rather ironic)....and I've felt the same for the last 3 days or so.

Dammit, I can't even enjoy my holidays.

Actually, I only have a PS2 and a GBA and I detest my GBA. But everyone forgets about me here anyway, so phwoof.

Vote Stryke or Mr.Happy. Or me. :-D

This is a campaign thread, isn't it?

:-)

If Pro Evo has 20+ Sony Forum-going cretins behind him (including Wookiee), he obviously can't be SO bad.

I know that SSX Pro made a suggestion, but people make suggestions all the time in forums. Someone even recommended me once! :-)

He's obviously earnt their respect in some way and the posts I've read of him are pretty decent. I know he's pretty much out of FoG, and the fact that the Sony forum thought it needed a "Notable Representative" was pretty stupid, but at the end of the day, he deserves the gold as much as most of us.
