Vote For The Administration

Well then, our moment of truth has arrived. Have you voted? If not, do so...
Continuing, discuss why you want someone or some number of people for Administrator(s).
Banners or posters can also be posted in support of a member or members. That is all.

Most definitely VIROS.
Out of all of these choices, I think he's the most qualified, with the most experience discounting Fox, and with the best track record as a mod. He was event he staff choice for admin last time.

Okay, Izac, enough. We all know you love pRiok, but at this point it's just getting annoying. Anyway, who told you to make this thread? If we decide to select a new administrator, it would probably be VIROS, he has the best record and the most experience, and has been made admin before. We're definitely not just picking a chat mod or someone who doesn't even have a staff position, unless they're overly qualified. This does not include a cult following.

I voted for FoxtrotZero and VIROS. They are both original members with experience in the staff field and are excellent candidates. If it would come down to one person, I would vote for Fox because he is the more active of the two, and appears to have a well-balanced mindset. With VIROS, I am unsure because I do not see him regularly.

Regardless of the fact that this was made without our knowledge or approval, I don't care. It'll definitely contribute a lot to the decision.

I wasn't the one who got the idea in the first place, right KuraiOorora?
Anyways, yes... I may have added some other unnecessary choices, but they may be compatible, somewhat. Your opinions on them may determine a future position or help in gaining more respect for some of them. Otherwise... The opposite.

I voted for Priok, Vertigo, and Fox.
Also, why am I not there? I'm the most qualified person among all of these members.

I voted for Rock since i want a trusted and active Member to add my Badges to my Censor.

That's not really a reason why you'd want a person to be an Administrator... He can already do that with his current abilities.

Most. He can't add the Great one.
Actually, any global mod can handle badges, censor codes, and really all shop transactions except name colors and new custom stars.

If I were to select a Triumvirate for the forum, it would consist of three members. General Veers, VIROS, and (though I feel awkward admitting it), myself.
I don't mean disrespect to QwertyuiopThePie or TheShadowLord, but there's the occasional widespread grumbling over the way Qwerty likes to do things, or his behaviour when it comes to new ideas, or simply unavoidable traits of his personality, despite the fact that, overall, he does good work. As for TSL, I can' t even rank him as a staff member, he's never here.
GeneralVeers is a very level headed and foreward-thinking individual. I don't think anyone has any complaints with him. VIROS is a veteran member of the forum with a carrer experience in moderating and a logical approach to things. I can't deny that I think myself fit for the third position - I wouldn't put my name on the ballot if I thought otherwise - with nearly the same amount of time under my belt as VIROS, and while I have my 'unique' streaks, I consider myself to be a rational individual, not to mention that VIROS and I seem to work very well together (we frequently get into brainstorming in private chat) and I don't think there are any tensions between these three candidates; I can say that I have nothing against either GV or VIROS.
So, yeah. Thats what I have to say about it. But this is an opinion, and I don't think this poll is sanctioned, so I don't particularly expect action to arise from it.
-edit-
First of all, I want to mention that i'm somewhat surprised and rather... Flattered isn't a word I like to use, but its the only one I can think of. So i'm flattered that i've been voted into a second place tie with Priok. Which brings me to my next point; I like Priok as much of the next guy, he's a cool bro, but you start to go from good decision making to corrupt politics when you start making elections into a popularity contest. Priok has done a good job with his current level of responsiblity, and I have no doubt that he's capable of tackling more, but he hardly has a veteran experience in forum staffship. I wouldn't think he's exactly cut out for Administraitorship. But, in the words of my grandfather, opinions are like assholes; everybody has one.

"We" apparently would like to see your opinions. And anyway, I think Qwerty is a fine admin.

So, what you are saying, Fox, is that you're better than me. Okay. First Mono, then you. Get three more people and I'll resign if you hate me in my position so much. Three more ACTIVE FORUM MEMBERS. If you hate me so much, why don't you go prove it?

I've heard you do stuff like this, but being part of staff doesn't give you the right to the royal 'we'. Hell, I haven't seen an admin ever use it unless it pertains to the entire forum in a practical matter. Its not like you're breaking a rule or something, but, for crying out loud, man, tone down the smug. |

If you hate me so much, why don't you go prove it? I'm sorry, I didn't say that. Okay, well, shit, I guess I did, but you're taking this the wrong way. I didn't say I hate you, I didn't outright say i'm better than you (and I don't believe i'm better, per se, as much as equal) and all I have to go on is what I know; you tend to be very stubborn, you have a habit of not hearing people out or fully reading what they have to say, and not only are you always liable to jump the gun, but you're hard as hell to convince of anything once you're set in your ways. The moment you take the fact that I say anything against you from professional to personal is the moment you take what i'm saying too far. Fuck, man, you're overreacting. You always fucking do. And if you're going to continue to be like this, then its probably best for everyone that we avoid contact on the chat. I was asked for an honest opinion, and I gave an honest opinion, to which I am entitled to. I'm not going to lie out of fear of offending you. Yes, I respect you, though I'm admittedly poor at showing it, but goddamnit man, yes, I do believe that you have traits that prevent you from being an ideal administraitor (and i'm not insinuating that I don't, because we're all only human), and yes, I believe that I am your equal in capacity, and yes, I believe that I do not have several of the most obstructuve traits you possess. I don't know what to say at this point. I didn't ask you to step down, I didn't intentionally imply that you should, I simply gave an honest opinion on your performance, and who I believe might be able to do better, and fuck me for thinking that I might be one of those people. |

Hey, pretty interesting that I have some votes. I respect these words, FoxtrotZero, do not worry.

Fox, you're basing this off just the last week, aren't you? Think farther back than that. It's finals time and with the skin change, the move, this vote, Mono's insult, it's too much to handle. Give me a break sometimes; being admin isn't rose petals and sugar water.

Qwerty has lost a lot of respect with me over time. Qwerty makes decisions and holds on to his false views with a death grip. If he wants something done, it gets done, and if that happens to be not in your favor, he mocks you. Furthermore, he is deceitful. He manipulates and steps all over people. I've been manipulated, I've been stepped on, I've been mocked, flamed, slandered, lied to, and hurt by Qwerty.
Fox has only ever accompanied retribution with justice, resolve with flexibility, loyalty with a pinch of salt, and friendship with honesty. He is realistic, transparent, and interesting.
Okay, I will continue later. My hands are shaking too bad to type well. I just took some asthma medication, it does that.

I'm not even eligible for staff anymore ever since I resigned; I want my votes to go to Iza.
Edit: Never mind, giving my votes to iza wouldn't be the fairest thing. Even if we're the same person.

Give me a break sometimes; being admin isn't rose petals and sugar water. I know. And i'm sorry. Its not uncommon for you and I not to see eye-to-eye, and we frequently fail to get along, but under it all, I like to think we're pretty good friends. I understand your job isn't easy, and I understand that this past week has been a rather trying time. Its merely a matter of principle that my opinion, and my willingness to offer my opinion fully and truthfully when prompted, is not swayed by recent events. I just hope you keep in mind that, regardless, whatever I might say about your methods or your character, i'm not doing it with the intention of insulting you - i'd like to think you know i'm not that type of person. I try to keep it 'professional', and you break the whole system when you let it get to you personally. Qwerty has lost a lot of respect with me over time. Qwerty makes decisions and holds on to his false views with a death grip. If he wants something done, it gets done, and if that happens to be not in your favor, he mocks you.

Okay, I will continue later. My hands are shaking too bad to type well. I just took some asthma medication, it does that. Err... Thanks? I mean, you're a good friend MF, and I appreciate your support, but I think you dramatize or exaggerate Qwerty's negative qualities, and maybe give me a little more praise than I deserve. Its nice to know that you and about six other people are supportive of me, and that you consider me such an admirable and interesting individual, but... Is there any chance that your asthma medication is going to your head? |

I didn't mean what I said about Qwerty. This is why I'm no good on a forum. I'm just a complete turd. Okay, so he's pinched my nerves a bit. And he did convince me to conspire with him to [REDACTED]. So he's not fit to be admin, but it's not like I hate his guts...

Wrong thread. If you hate me, go post on the vote of no confidence. Besides, that thing I convinced you to conspire with me happened to be convincing Listo to give us the forum, something that most certainly does not make me ineligible. I do not "step all over people".
If you seriously think I'm that horrible of a person, please leave before I start treating you like I once treated Kurai.

If so, you're insulting my intelligence. |

You guys are having us vote for the next administrator? I personally think only the staff should do to avoid favoritism, you know? Just saying.

I made a thread in the Staff Lounge, but Qwerty shut it down, because there was one in the admin board. Which couldn't see, so I didn't know the thread existed.
