Sigh. It's probably a good thing that Wata is admin and not me. Had it been me, I'd have canned this whole poll and issued a stern verbal warning to all involved, along the lines of 'chill out and start thinking rationally, THEN you can vote again'.
Which, honestly, wouldn't have been wholly undeserved given the tone this thing has taken.
Forcing a recount and extending the shitstorm would probably be the worst possible action. This thing ends in...38 hours? After that, if anyone is still being an idiot you can take action.
The majority of the problem (I believe) is the "silly campaigning" gone too far and taken too seriously. I realize that I'm one of the initial instigators of that, and I'm sorry that it's taken a turn for the worse of late...but seriously, it's a friggin election for a forum mod. On a fanfiction forum, one famous for its anti-moderator attitude. Taking the thing seriously is against the entire spirit of the board.
Seriously, 38 hours. Then we can go back to whatever faffing about it is we normally do.
