Hm... shouldn't we rely on "nominations" and then after reaching a certain number make a poll? That way we won't have to keep track of votes and we'll know that everyone on the poll will get at least 1 vote.

for sure we should with the members... but do we really need to with just the topic?  Whomever takes the reins for this can decide ultimately I suppose.. but for now, we have:

3 for most helpful member
1 for best avatars

[scholar]

well if it's between the two a fourth for most helpful members. Best avatar just seems so temporary and there's already a topic about it.

If you have another category that you want to do for the first one, then feel free to make a third option.  I feel that most helpful is a good starting place though, because everyone remembers who has helped them in the past, whereas other topics can switch on a regular basis, like avatars and such.

[scholar]

No, I think most helpful member is a good start as well. There are others but they can be done after.

Was this project shut down? I see that the other thread has been locked for obvious reasons. But are we permitted to keep this going or not?

[Queen]

If it was well I guess we can all forget about having our positions.  I was looking forward to all of that.

I don't think so, but it would be wise if we didn't go through with another poll for a while.

It's not dead yet! Just... on hold.

In any case the poll's final results were this:
scholar - 5
Ma Su - 4
Great Panda - 3
Shufan - 2
Nick - 2
Yue Fei - 1
Jinkojirodragon - 1

There was only a few hours left in the poll, but I guess it's up to you guys if you want this to count.

I think it should count.
I think this system should start back up eventually.

[GreatPanda]

Yeah, it should count and the whole polls and voting should eventually continue too.

[Queen]

So long as wolf doesn't object once again.

Anyways i three on the it should continue thing.

[su lu pi]

i dont think any one objects but i think he saw it as a bit back slapping

[Nick]

I think it was shut down due to the fear that certain members (not to point fingers or name names) might begin starting their own polls and this forum would become nothing more than a bunch of popularity contests running at once.  Having one thread at a time should be fine, but it needs to stay on topic and be about why people feel that their nominees should win or how, in this case, helpful the members are.

Making your own thread with only 2 options that you yourself picked is nothing more than spam.

[scholar]

Since the general consensus is that it counts, I guess the winner via poll election for most helpful member was me.

Since I already won an election once already I think that people who 'win' shouldn't be allowed to be nominated again. The reason being is that we don't want one or two or three people winning every time, it elevates the individuals who won to some near mythical status among the members and it limits the opportunities for others to be nominated and win an election figuring because they can only nominate one person at a time.

Does anyone else agree?

[King of Ba Shu]

Yes I agree. That sounds like the best plan of action.

How long are we going to wait before proposing a new title?

[scholar]

How long are we going to wait before proposing a new title?

I would like to wait till August 1rst, or maybe the 10th. But it's up to the people here. I just direct the polls, this is a democratic thing done for and by the people of the board.
