We'll see, I asked FM about it so it depends on what he says.

I wouldn't mind at all, and would even be happy to come up with extra innane questions.

What part of my statements have you all not understood?

Well you said that we could make comments. Just not talk about a candidate.

LITTLE COMMENTS may be allowed, but not 'why can't I post here', 'haha, you SUCK', or anything like that.

My comment was related to whether the moderator should be making comments regarding a condidates response.

BTW - I see no difference between ruinel making a comment on THIS thread - versus me.

Which statement? The one involving Finrod's question?

***Tessar*** · 03-01-2004, 08:39 PM

No, I'm talking about most of the junk that's been posted here

.

Don't worry, the good stuff should still be here.

Which junk? I didn't see any spamming.

Did I miss something?

***Tessar*** · 03-01-2004, 08:42 PM

Just never mind Ruinel

. Nothing for you to worry about.

Ah... ok, then.

When do we find out about the VP's debate thread? Or should we just keep posting in the other campaign thread that's been created?

***Tessar*** · 03-01-2004, 08:47 PM

Keep posting there, I'm not sure when FM is going to get back with me on that. Likely he'll have to talk it over with some of the other people.

Ok... but I think Val and I aren't sure if we should be answering the questions for the presidential candidates or if we'll have separate questions.

***Tessar*** · 03-02-2004, 12:00 AM

Whatever you like. Do you want new questions? I'll write them if you want them and put them up in the open debate thread for now if you do. Just dono I can assure you how good they'll be

.

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 03-02-2004, 12:18 AM

I think this is where the problem is coming from with JD. Why is Ruinel allowed to post here and be answered, and there doesn't seem to be a problem? I am overwhelmed trying to catch up with what all is happening here.

***Tessar*** · 03-02-2004, 12:21 AM

Because she's asking for something, as well as some other people asking for the same thing, and if I try to give it to them they'll stop cloging this thread.

Jd, however, seems to have no reason except that he's upset with FM.

***azalea*** · 03-02-2004, 12:35 AM

Maybe the rule should be that NO ONE at all except for TESSAR AND THE CANDIDATES should post in this thread for any reason. That would solve one problem at least. If anyone has a question or comment they can use the other thread. I think we all agree that if things got out of hand here, an admin would naturally step in to help, but other than that, I can't see why anyone else needs to post here, esp. considering there's another thread open for discourse about the election.

Finrod Felagund · 03-02-2004, 01:29 PM

Please, candidates, post here, and everyone else, vote!

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 03-03-2004, 03:07 PM

After viewing the poll, I have a question. Why are people voting in it before all the candidates have addressed the questions? That makes no sense to me, and shows that votes are not being cast based on the campaign or views of the candidates, but on favoring of candidates in spite of their views.

I accidently voted (as the first, except for the one who 'voted' for Tessar

) for Hector.

I think that votes are being cast based on the lazyness of the candidates.

Anyway, polls are always a very untrustfull system. There is no way we can take them as a proper "result" of the debate.

Also, the sooner you respond the questions, the sooner this problem will be solved

Very funny.

I have reasons for not doing it yet and they're secret, so there!

Well, I don't think anyone should be voting in the poll until all the candidates have answered the questions. That's silly. they are voting aimlessly.

Artanis · 03-04-2004, 04:14 AM

If someone could remove Fal and Nurv from the poll it would be less confusing.

***Fat middle*** · 03-04-2004, 07:16 AM

Okay. Edited and closed.

I cannot reset it nor deleted the options of the withdrawn candidates.
