The moderator election in the chosen forum is a primary election. It is solely for the purpose of the forum leaders to get an idea about who is favored to lead that forum. Candidates post that they are running, and other members vote for them. To prevent cheating, votes from members who would be disqualified on level 1 are not counted. Votes from members who would be disqualified on level 2 are counted, but votes from regulars of the forum may be worth more (See Article III.) A voter may post why they feel the candidate is qualified, but it is not necessary. A candidate SHOULD NOT:
- Post what they will do as a mod. The responsibilities are always the same (outlined in Article I.)
- Post multiple times in the topic. Extra posts make it hard to be sorted through.
- Bribe members.
- Discourage others from running
- Be a bad sport. Doing so will hurt the candidate’s chances of winning.
It is advised that someone (a non-candidate) take up the responsibility of keeping a tally of the votes.
When the primary election has gone on long enough, an administrator will close the topic and send it to the Moderator Forum for a final decision. The winner of the primary will not necessarily be selected as the new moderator, and all candidates should recognize this before running. |
I know you guys can follow these guidelines. If you'd like to build a stronger platform, the best thing I can recommend is showing how you would make a good forum leader by posting topics in this forum and supporting those topics by communicating with the other members in a fashion that promotes enthusiasm and participation. Don't get pissy with eachother just because you don't like the same games, don't talk down to other members. Give everyone a fair chance to participate, regardless of their typing abilities or knowledge of the series. If there are questionable posts by spammers or flamers, report them to the mod forum rather than screaming your head off at the offender.
