Hi everyone.
I'll try and speak everyone's mind here... this has really gone crappy. Notables are symbols of power instead of just a little gold star saying "you're a damn fine writer/thinker/whatever".
People have suggested stopping the elections, voting out notables, and loads of stuff. I have a suggestion myself, which is why I want ALL notables in here.
I suggest every notable, all of us, gives up their status and goes back to being a regular. Clean the slate, truly.
Then? Who cares. They can have new elections if they want for people to have power symbols of their forums, or abolish it altogether. The good writers know who they are.
And what would happen then? We'd all be equal. We can talk about monkeys and games and whatever all the time, instead of having stupid bloody copularity pontests etc.
So, it's simple. NOTABLES ONLY. If you want this to work, just say your opinion on this, and state please if you want your status taken away from you.
This won't really work unless we all agree to it, so it's down to you. If you really need a gold name to prove to people that you're a good writer, then fine, keep your colour. Otherwise, if you'd rather stand out by your own personality, and you'd rather stand out by allowing people to judge you themselves, not just a group of people that think you're cool, or a group of people who assume you're cool because you have a gold name... then... please make yourself known.
As for me, I'm kinda fed up of being held high and mighty by the decisions of five people... because that's all it comes down to in the end. I will happily become a regular again.

Yep, actually. Possibly not *everyone* individually. How about 5 Notables voted off at a time. At least there wouldn't be one loser that way. Sorry to be like that, but I just am.
The whole Notable thing makes these forums more exciting. I don't mind them at all, and although lots of people say they hate the Notable elections, I know that the majority of people DON'T feel that way, and are just sometimes saying it because someone else does.
Back to what you just said though - You wouldn't go either, so I don't see why you don't like that idea Grix... ;-)

That is true. :-)

Sheepy only likes it because he knows he won't get voted out. :0)

I know I'm not a Notable or anything, and you don't have to take me seriously, but I don't really like this idea too much.
I think the voting Notables out idea would be better. Even Sheepy agrees on that.
