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.

Funnily enough i'm not a newbie by being here over 200 days and i want to vote natbuc. He is worth it and something tells me you are threatened that he will become notable instead of you. Jealousy is a evil thing.

Something needs to be done. Otherwise we will just have like 20 notables by the end of the year or near enough.

There needs to be a new rating. 'High Council' or something.

:-D

Well do something

It's boring especially when you get voted in... nothing else to do.

At least if you get kicked out it maks it exciting... and the fact you have ben a notable will shut up anybody who says everyone hates you etc.

Ach well

You can't do that, that is way too harsh, imagine voted as the most hated person in the notable reigime... ouch! Much better way is having 5 people stripped of their notability (i.e. the first 5) and only 3 can be voted back in and the public votes outta the 5 and the highest scoring 3 is still a notable.

One new Notable is elected every 3 months by the users of the forums. Someone who the other Forum users thing make these forums fun and interesting.

As i i am still a newbie i think this is unfair. Some newbies( not me) may vote for not very good people for being notables. As i have met most people on msn i think i know who to vote for and who not to vote for.

The problem many people had with Pro Evo being elected in was the fact that just about everyone that voted for him was like him in that they were Sony forum goers, but were never seen elsewhere. How did they know who made the best contribution when they never visited FOG chat and prime at least rather than just the Sony forum? Also I think I'm right in saying that a lot of his votes were from Newbies, so he would not have got in if the new rule about newbies voting hadn't been introduced.
