This is the election for one of the mod positions. You have one choice. The election for the third mod position will be later.

This poll will be open for 4 days.

Aw shit. I accidently voted for admin and mod while on TFF_Admin. Pretend that said Shirotsume. (For obvious reasons, not voting on shiro)

Hey guys!

This will be my only serious post for the entire thread.

I hope that you will vote for me, not least because I feel I'd be up to rigors that involve moderation on a forum like TFF, but that I very much want TFF to grow and flourish like it did in years past.

Before the dark times. Before the Hawkpire.

I will strive to be fair, impartial, and someone that any member that this forum can come to if they have a problem. I will do everything within my power, if voted into modship, to make TFF the best damn congregation place for writers and readers on the interwebs. Take my hand, gentle voter, and together we will take that first step into a glorious future!

(Was that a little too over the top? I think the hand thing was a little weird.)

I suppose I might as well have a campaign blurb as well.

Let me begin by stating a fact: I am lazy. I don't like doing more work than absolutely necessary, and the best way to accomplish this is to do things right. I'm well aware that insults are how we say hello here, and that most of us are used to extremely free speech, so I'll try to be lenient as we adjust since most of us are used to doing what we want. I much prefer warnings, especially when they're heeded, to banning someone, since regardless of a person's personal opinions, they can contribute something.

The best type of mod is one who doesn't have to do anything, since it means people respect the rules and don't need to be constantly policed. I don't feel a need to flaunt my power, especially since it's an online message board, and not some omnipotent real life post. All in all, I want to keep things as much like Old TFF as possible, with the additional option of oversight and responsible Admins and Mods.


More goodness! Less worseness! Vote for Zerohour!

Is there any chance you might add daniel_gudman to the poll for the third round of mod voting? I know he missed the deadline because he misunderstood the confirming rules but he did want to be a mod and I think he'd be really good at it.

Hey, what happens if someone gets elected for both Admin and Moderator? I'm a little hesitant to vote for people up for both because I have no idea how that would work out. Would they take both positions, or just one of them, and what happens to the votes they acquired?

Vote for Ryuugi. As a Vote for Ryuugi isn't a vote for the House of horror.

EDITED

Zerohour. If they win Admin? Then they are admin.

Simple as that.

Because Mod is a lesser power.

They can do more then mods can.

Hm... perhaps I should make an executive decision to refocus my campaigning on Moderator-ship. As The Ero-Sennin has obviously stuffed the ballot boxes for his campaign on Administration.

I suppose I should probably write another blurb if I am giving up on Administration. Alas.

I'm Vexarian, I've been on this forum for years and I've always been very active. I know most of you to some degree, and I think a lot of you know me pretty well, as well. I've made friends with a lot of you, and plenty more of you I at least consider to be friendly people. I really can't think of anyone left on this forum that I have any real, genuine problems with.

I am, and always have been a very active presence, and as a moderator I would be available at most hours should anything come up for me to address. I like to help out people, so any moderation requests would likely be carried out very quickly by me. Threads moved, renamed, things of that nature.

I also absolutely hate the idea of abuse of power. I like justice, I like free speech, I like freedom, and I like fucking fairness. The idea of anyone being squelched because they simply opposed a moderator or administrator is utterly abhorrent to me. I don't want to see it happen, I don't want it to happen to me, and I don't want to allow it to happen either.

In short, vote for me. I won't let you down.

Also I ran a really funny campaign for Administrator, that has to count for something, huh?

I like lolis and ponies. Let's fly to the castle!

Edit: PS I'm pretty neutral when it comes to drama and it takes a certain level of shitposting to get me mad. A vote for me is a vote for 'murrica and all that

Very tempted to vote for Vex or Zeph, since I think they would do a good job, but I still think we need someone super laid back in at least one of the positions so I suppose I'll go for Hardcore Heathen once more.

Hmmm... this will require some thought... I know whom I'm definitely not voting for... but I have not figured out from the rest which I am voting for...

Considering all the nonsense in the last set of election threads, I'll probably not even bother coming back to these until I figure it out...

I'd like to say that I'm a lurker. A horrible, horrible lurker. I joined back in '10, and lurked for a bit to get a feel for the board, but never posted. The closing of the board back in '11 made me not post even more than just lurking, for fear of being banned.

Irrational, yes, but... Well, I was younger then.

Anyway, the point is... I'm not involved in board politics. I'm impartial. I can be trusted to not play favorites, and am more than willing to help people and answer questions.

I thought voting for moderator was going to be easy, but Zeph and zerohour both wrote excellent pitches. The rest of the interested parties might consider doing the same, they've managed to break my vote commitment already.
Hear that, folks? That's a ringing endorsement from your friendly neighborhood admin!

And even if it wasn't, I've decided to take it out of context and use it for political gain. A vote for Zeph is a vote for the wretched hive of scum and villainy!

DLP doesn't have exclusive rights to that catchphrase! :p

Besides, TFF has earned that distinction as well, horrible bastards that we are.

Look at this poser, stealing my SMBC references.

Anyway. I'm Hardcore Heathen. I've written a few things, participated in several RPGs, and met some of my best friends through this site. I spend a lot of time here, and enjoy my time, and I think I understand the camaraderie that makes this board the best on the web. I'd love the chance to help keep it that way through a Moderator position - though honestly, I'm not sure what I would *do.* You've done an obscenely good job policing yourselves for the past few years, and I trust you all are capable of continuing that spirit of cooperation, with or without me.

So vote for me for mod! Or don't! I'll still be here, and this board will still be awesome.

I must ask, which 'murrica are you referring to? The one that exists as an ideal or the reality?

Why are Souffle and Ryuugi such friggin' popular candidates?
I guess people know me for my level-headedness and adherence to my tastes over someone else's opinion :wonk:

I blame it on being sick. Too tired to really think things all the way through. I'll come up with a new one once I'm feeling better or the third election comes around.

Weren't YOU the one who explained to me in the last round of voting that we could 'undo' votes? The link is right there on top. Just click 'Undo vote' and close the browser window - the vote will be removed.

Now onto campaigning;

Instead of advertising myself, let me start off by talking about the other candidates I won't mind becoming a mod and why.

Vexarian - First thing that comes to my mind is how he got involved with updating all the posts on oTFF about the move. I was skeptical at first, but he answered my questions and I consider the effort to have helped making the move smooth. This is NOT to demean the Colossal work Shirotsume did; but Vexarian helped.

Dark Knight Gafgar - I know him as a fellow author. Have no opinion on him as a mod, but contributes well in discussions.

The Ero-Sennin - We're voting him in to be the backup admin and to vote for him here is just wasting your vote. I've already endorsed him in the admin2 thread.

zerohour - I think I've interacted with him on GB's "In Flight" forums and possibly on spacebattles. Nice guy, fun to talk to.

As for the rest of them? No opinion from me. Can't recollect any interactions/discussions right now.

Finally myself - chronodekar.

This isn't the only fanfiction board I visit. You'll find me on spacebattles and GB's 'In flight' forums. On very rare occasions I post on the Slayers livejournal page. Universe's I frequent are - Love Hina, FSN, Ranma 1/2, Code Geass .. etc. If you visit those sections of the boards, chances are you've seen me post. I do NOT like name-calling and while this is a board where we insult each other everyday, its not really behavior I see myself participating in (at least, not regularily). But I do enjoy reading the banter thrown around.

It's easy to call myself fair, but the best judge of that are my fellow TFF'ers - ask anyone who's been with me on a thread and you'll find out that I'm not one to hold prejudices against anyone.

If I have a fault, its probably that I'm a bit too serious. Then again, with all the fun-lovers being voted in, don't you think someone with a level head needs to be part of the group?
