TIME TO VOTE FOR SOME NEW MODERATORS! (AGAIN!)

Alright people. The preceeding users, in alphabetic order, are the candidates you can vote for. This time around we are looking for one more global moderator, and 2 or 3 forum-specific moderators (forums requiring additional moderation will be discussed later).

To become familiar with the candidates, click to the right of their name in the following list. This will allow you to see their profile, and from their profile you can click a link which will allow you to read all their posts, which may help you make a decision.

A Lost Soul: http://dreamviews.com/forum/profile.php?mo...ewprofile&u=147
Crucible: http://dreamviews.com/forum/profile.php?mo...ewprofile&u=194
DAL9000: http://dreamviews.com/forum/profile.php?mo...iewprofile&u=34
Lowercase Society: http://dreamviews.com/forum/profile.php?mo...ewprofile&u=267
Paperdoll EP: http://dreamviews.com/forum/profile.php?mo...ewprofile&u=124
Rtex: http://dreamviews.com/forum/profile.php?mo...iewprofile&u=96
Seeker: http://dreamviews.com/forum/profile.php?mo...ewprofile&u=190

advice: pick someone who you feel will best represent the forum.

anyway, VOTE!

P.S. those of the moderator candidates listed who do not wish to vote for themselves can always vote for another candidate.

P.P.S. You must login to vote.

P.P.P.S. You can only vote once.

P.P.P.P.S. I accept bribes.

P.P.P.P.P.S. A request: brand new people (you can decide for yourself regarding whether your level of newness is "brand" or not...heh...) please avoid voting, since you simply are not familiar with the candidates.

i had to vote for A Lost Soul...cause she owns me :P

...actually, i really voted for Seeker, but y\'know :D

I chose paperdoll! And that captial lettered message is annoying, but nonetheless eye catching! :P

Its very hard to choose..But im going with Lost Soul, sorry seeker, but Im sure you'll understand, Ill hope you come in second! ^_^

LS, hope you win, you deserve it, youll make a great mod!

Oh and paper, I know you wanna be mod badly aswell..and you deserve it to you know..and oh..everybody deserves it I gues..oh my. To bad I can only vote for 1 person X_X

I put my vote with Seeker.

Er... wow... that is one serious eye-catching something something up there, Icedawg. LOL. No one will miss the polls now. :D

:oops: Thank you guys that voted for me. *sniffles* I love you guys.

I appreciate all of you that voted for me! You're all great friends and co-adventurers!
Ah heck, I love all your guys (and the gals too :D )
I don't know if I'll even vote this time! It's soooo hard to choose!

Seeker again, that was even harder... :?

Rtex has my vote. He never loses his temper and always has a level head (ask about the dart in the neck story).

I voted for A Lost Soul because...umm...well, her posts are ussually smart and interesting. :D

Seekers got my vote.

Keep up the good work

Everyone knows it: Seeker should get the votes.

But I was close to voting for A Lost Soul.




oh.. and good luck everyone else :D

To be nominated, do you have to have a lot of posts? :P

thanks (again) to the people who voted for me.


I'm not voting.

Seeker I CHOOSE YOU *captures you in a stupid million dollar selling red and white ball*

Honestly i don't who to vote for, so i havn't yet.
Can any 1 tell me who is winning in the top 3 places of the polls

Press View Results and all will be revealed to you my coat hanger friend.

Gestalt, I noticed you signature still says 1 LD to date :(
Maybe you have forgotten to update it :)

EDIT. BTW: I just followed Paperdolls example and selected 'Choose not to vote'. How could I single any one of you out!

I was kind of hoping the mods would vote (like I hinted in the first post), because you've all been here a while and have a pretty good idea on who would be good. ya know? Also, keep in mind that some of the mod candidates are our more frequent users; many of the regular users that pop in every so often simply won't vote. thus, there will be a smaller turn out at the polls if the mod candidates don't vote. Plus, to me, it just seems polite--and courteous--to vote for a different candidate. :)

oh well.

p.s. Apparently that link at the top is really working. We've already--in only 7 hours--matched the turn out of our previous failed attempt, which ran for a couple days!

p.p.s. it would seem we're going to be needing a new newbie welcomer...

well seeker ya got my vote you just seem like a good guy

P.S. when i voted @ 7:41 on wed the 15 you were winning
:D

Sorry Icedawg, If you'll reset me, I'll give it serious consideration tonight and vote in the morning. OK?

(ahem) just calling everyone's attention to something that was written on the bottom of my post there, in case it was missed. no particular reason why i bring that up of course. just, you know, wanted to make sure everyone saw that. (hint, hint). :mrgreen: coughILIKESHINYTHINGScough :bigteeth:

if i trip and fall and accidentally drop a large sack of money on your lap, and then forget to pick it back up as i leave, can i become a mod?



lol j/k o course...haven't been round long enough to be bribing the admin yet lol :D

Well, a big (albeit early) congrats to Seeker! So far anyway. :-P He's winning by a serious landslide. I don't think he should be stripped of his Official Newbie Welcomer title, though. I think he should keep the stars, keep the title (if possible), and be given moderator powers. :)

the guys made ten posts and he's allowed to vote? :? n00bs shouldn't be allowed to vote...they don't really know the people. "this person seems cool, I pick them." I mean come on...doesn't seem fair.

I voted for paperdoll, mainly because she was the first to befriend me in this forum, and EVERYONE has to admit, she has grown ALOT since the early beginnings. And thus, she has worked very hard at being kind and courtious lately. I've noticed. And so, thats where my vote went.

Btw, Thankyou to all who voted for me, I didn't expect to get past one or two

this is an imperfect system, and there's nothing i can do about it. :whyme: regardless, # of posts is not a factor one should use when determining merit. so far Rocky has spent 4 hours and 45 minutes online as a registered user. we don't know how long he has been a guest on the site; i've seen quite a few posts from people that say they've been here for quite a while and have only just registered. finally, i have included a link to everyone's profile, which includes a link to all the posts by you guys, which further provides opportunity for new people to get to know you.

I'm having a hard time voting, as you did Seeker, i mean, who to vote for? i would want to be the global mod, but i think someone else deserves it, and i guess i would rather be a smaller mod for a particular forum...AHHHHH this is so hard, so i think i will vote for...my cool old grandpa :fro:

Today, everything was fine. Until roundabout, quarter to nine, I suddenly found myself in a bind. Was it something I said? Something I read an manifested that’s getting you down.[/b]

Lowercase, you can always vote for yourself and then say you didn't! :D

Lost Soul, M'Lady, I appreciate the sentiment *big hugs*. I think I'll let Icedawg decide on what to do.
Now I am off to post about what M'Lady had me do last night in her castle! :oops:

alright....yeah...I'm not mad or anything, I just came across that and it struck me as unfair. I'm sorry I probably shouldn't have said anything...but anyway, how long is this poll going for? the first one didn't last very long at all, but now we have more active users...hm..

Paperdoll does bring up a serious point.

I don't think anyone WOULD cheat, but Icedawg, you might want to keep a watch on the IP addresses of anyone that registers while the voting is going on.

If I understand right, polls log the SID of anyone voting(I think), this keeps people from voting, deleting any local cookies, and voting again
But, someone could create a lot of new users and vote. The only way to detect this is to keep a close watch on the IPs.

But hey, we are all upstanding moral people here, I don't expect there to be a problem!

haha. i love how you guys always point these things out to me. really guys--promise--i'm not inherently naïve! :bigteeth: well, maybe i am just a little... :mrgreen:

regardless, i installed a mod quite sometime ago that goes one further step and actually records all duplicate accounts into a table. it's a little tricky determining whether this truly reveals one using multiple accounts though, because people sometimes use the same computer.

anyway, as for how long this poll is going to run...i don't know. i'm a little curious as to how many people we can get to vote.

It apears Seeker is going to win though! ^_^

well I'm obviously not cheating. lol. Xd

wait...if I voted that I choose not to vote, am I not voting? http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif

Wow. :shock: Seeker is winning by a huge landslide. Congratulations.
You know, I did wonder that cheating thing. "What if I went to work and got everybody in the entire company to vote at their home computers?"

But, I don't know that many people, and that would be mean as well :P

I know you're not, but I am inherently paranoid! :shock:
That's why I am such a good software tester! I do things to programs that normal people wouldn't even think of!

Look at Rtex go! He's on a roll now!

Lol, a roll, Five votes, better watch our seeker, I'm tailgating you!
No, j/k, But, heeeeey, Lowercase got a vote, WooHoo!, Good job man, some one likes ya :wink:

And about the newbie thing, I think they can vote if they want to, Because they still are a part of this forum, and might become a big part in the future the forum, who knows! and, when foreigners become citizens, there isn't a timer until they "Know the country well enough to vote" They can vote immediately, because their part of the country. besides, it doesn't matter all that much since the scales are tipped hugely in Seekers favors right now.
Good Job Seeker.

Personally I think its his job, The newbie welcomer, since all the newbies are welcomed by him, they feel inclined to vote for him. Which is weird, because I have no clue as to when, and how he got that position

I voted for seeker cause he's always keeping up on me, and I've been MIA again for some time......I joined the ymca trying to get my fat ass into shape, so I have'nt been at the computer as much, and I have'nt had a lucid dream since my last post which was months ago, I dont know what's up.

I guess it's a good thing that none of the people I work with and sent here decided to register. Think of the confusion, all these people calling out from the same gateway!

I guess Icedawg is going to let this run for a while. It'll be interesting to see what this weekend brings!

more votes for you? :lol:

I find that the more people that vote, the more my percentile goes down. which is a tiny bit depressing, I now only have 12% of the votes instead of thirteen. I dunno thats just my Shpeil(sp?)

you're kidding. right? *slaps forehead*

jill is back! YOO HOO! hi!


anyway, who is going to become the newbie welcomer?

LC would make a good noobie welcomer...he welcomed me before Seeker got a chance to when i first came here...and he'd love the extra posts he would get im sure lol...





]*hopes nobody saw his post before he got to edit it*

hm. two more people voted for me since I last checked. thanks guys. ^_^

OMG...me and my boyfriend were talking about this the other day, and he said he was going to sign up and vote for me..(I told him not to) he said he was gonna say "Paperdoll I CHOOSE YOU" and then a little emoticon of a pokeball (theres one on DA) holy crap...I was laughing so hard... :shock:

Hmmm, I always have like Psyduck! Psi, Psi, Psi, duck!

i voted 4 crucible but only because i felt sry that no one else voted 4 him and i dont know any of u well enough 2 make an informed desicion. (not that its gonna make a difference we all know seeker will win lol )

yes, obviously. he is in first place. but, icedawg may choose the top few? I think.

Lol, thats a bummer, I'm two behind the top three. Merh, oh well, Que sera sera.

You're not that far behind Paperdoll and I, Rtex. It's been very close between the three of us and you could still pull ahead and blow by Paperdoll and I. :)

Lol, technicly its "Paperdoll and me." and for future reference, you know its right if you say it with the other persons name eliminated, and if it sounds ok then you should be good. I.e "You might blow by I" doesn't work, however, "You might blow by me" sounds good.

Lol, sorry, but you know thats me, Fighting for a grammar correct forum.

Seriously, thanks for the encouragement, but I'd rather be happy for you than hopeful for me. And happy for seeker and paper, who are all in the top three.

Muhahahaha!

I'm one vote away from getting even with you Lost Soul! better watch out! :D :D :D

Hang in there buddy! It's not over until it's over!

to be fair, we need to decide a time to close the polls. How about...Wednesday at exactly 12:00 midnight?

Woohoo! I have a vote. :)

im new on the forum but i voted anyways cause ive been reading the posts for quite some time now..i went with seeker :roll:

Hey, good choice, and welcome to the forums
I don't doubt you decision making skills, but I'm curious as to why you chose seeker?

this Wednesday at exactly 12:00 midnight

Tuesday, 11:59:59 p.m. (polls still open!)
Wednesday, 12:00:00 midnight (polls close!)

:bigteeth:

In central time, we have abotu 37 hours left. I'm not sure which TZ ice is in, but it'll be somewhere about that time. So ice, instead of a date and time, why not a countdown?

That would be a good idea. And it would help make sure the extra people know that your time is limited =D

Convert between timezones here

I dont see why the time zone is a big thing, i mean SEEKER is obviously gunna win...I am 8 hours ahead of central time, but its not like i can come up with that many votes in just over 24 hours...

I may be in first, but there are three people almost neck and neck for second and third place :D

yeah...
im more of the stomach region or something...

yeah, something..... :shock:

EST all the way baby!

hey eagle eye, upon closer examination of the polls it would indeed appear you are correct. :roll:

p.s. glad to hear about the car insurance. a wise move.

T minus 21 minutes until poll close...

This is so exciting... I wonder who will win this.

I think Tim has a good chance at beating out this seeker guy.

*Insert Confused smiley here* Oh wait, :? ,

I don't know what ya'll mean, in the race for 2nd and third, I'm in fourth.

1st is Gold=Global mod

2nd is silver=good rooms to mod over

3rd is bronze=decent rooms to mod over, and there isn't a prize for fourth ya know, cept maybe a pat on the back and a "good try"...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining at all, the people have spoken, its not like it was up to one person, it was up to the people, and if they don't want to be a mod, neither do I. So Ice, if I end up staying in fourth, Don't worry about giving me any Mod jobs, this is my choice, I'd rather get one fair and square. rather than by sympathy, eh?(haha, canadians rock)

But thanks for the encouragement.

hrm, dunno what rtex is babbling about. regardless, the polls are now closed.

Official Results:

1. Seeker (with 29 votes)
2. A Lost Soul (with 10 votes)
3. Paperdoll EP (with 9 votes)
4. Rtex (with 8 votes)
5. Lowercase Society (with 4 votes)

What this means:

Seeker will become our new 2nd global moderator!

A Lost Soul, Paperdoll EP, and Rtex will be assigned various forums to moderate. Dunno which ones yet. The forums assigned will of course still be moderated by the two global moderators and myself as well. This simply ensures there is always someone checking up on things.

Lowercase Society will probably become our new official Newbie Welcomer.


Congratulations everyone!
