StarGateWars Forums

I and many others on this forum have beed denied the right to vote for the Ombudsman we want. This is Unaceptable.

Please post your thoughts on this.

I want the vote to be as all previous votes have been. At least then, someone might be able to vote (that hasnt specially been given access, yes seems very biased to me), either way, the way things are now, I will never accept the Ombudsman as being fairly elected. EVERY FORUM MEMBER should have a vote!!!

i agree with you

i cant vote. this isnt fair

Whoever came up with the idea to PM Smooshable about access, instead of posting in the thread as everyone was told to.. you did not understand the principles of this way of registering users for the correct Voters group.

69 people are currently in the usergroup "Voters" and have full voting/posting access to the Votes section and the Voting thread in it.
(These people are listed below in the spoiler, for the sake of being complete.)

Everyone up to this post by smooshable has been added to the usergroup Voters. Anyone who applies by PM will NOT receive a voting ticket. (This is clearly stated in the first post of the thread.)
Everyone in the thread who posted PAST the last post by smooshable needs to be patient and wait until they are added to the usergroup.

Patience is a virtue..

umm I posted in the thread 2 days ago and no cigar.

I also pmed and guess what....yup, I may as well have pmed forum.

So dont try and insult my intelligence please.

On another note 69 members out of the whole forum is kinda a joke considering there gotta be over 3k potential active voters.

Don't try and be smart with me, mister.. your post is later than smooshable's last post in the thread. Thursday 12th, last post by Smoosh (thus barrier between those with and those without rights), and Friday 13th, your post.

Might want to check up before accusing me of insulting your intelligence, as I did doublecheck out of respect for - precisely! - your intelligence.



As for the 69 voters out of 3k potentials; yes, it is low.
Just goes to show how active most of these forum accounts are.. and how much the active accounts care for the management of the forum and their vote in these matters. That'll never be real high, trust me. There's only 94 people have posted in the appropriate thread when I last checked, so it'll never be much more.

Maybe some people need to advertise the vote to their alliances, get them active.

Ummm, someone obviously hasn't heard of 'server time'..

Someone in Australia who posts on Sunday, won't suddenly see a post appear in front of his by his buddy from America, where it's still Saturday.
That's obviously not the case, so your argument is flawed.


Look, I can understand your frustration, but it's really nothing more than Smoosh not having checked the thread since somewhere around Thursday 11PM GMT, and your previous request having been in PM.
Once smooshable gets online and runs by the thread, a lot of people who are complaining now will simply have their access.. it'll be fine.
And you don't need to say I'm right, no need to lose your honour or whatever macho guy thing it is that's keeping you. (That was a joke.)

Ive posted in the topic but did not recieve the ability to vote yet

I'd like to apologize on behalf of God for Smooshable's lack of omnipresence.

You have to wait for him to be online Some of them have lives outside of forum you know.

And what would yall suggest for those of us who don't have diarrhea of the mouth on the forum... I don't advocate a recount, I don't even think the voting is finished, but there should be a way for those of us who do care and have fallen through the cracks to vote. To do otherwise just smacks of certain southern voting laws some 140 years ago.

No, i think the post count rule is to ensure that only ACTIVE forum members vote......

After you have been granted access you will be able to select one of the polling options available. Choose carefully as you can not change your preference once it is selected. I will try and authorise accounts to vote as quickly as possible.

The two requirements are:
Forum account must be 6 months or older
Must have 150 or more posts.
smoosh

You don't inspire much confidence in your ability to be impartial by supporting requirements that can disenfranchise your opponents. Quantity does not equate to quality and unfortunately you are worried about neither. You seem to only see a potential vote against you other than the possibility of "opening up" several others who could vote for you. I challenge you to help come up with a solution and not continue to champion the problem.

what does it matter? just go post a hundred more times in the spam temple, not that hard...

So having people with "forum multis" vote multiple times for their candidate is fair? *goes back 6 months and makes 50 forum multies*

The only problem with this one is the fact you have to wait for access... which is a small problem compared to an ombudsman being chosen unfairly...

I think Spam temple posts don't contribute to your post count, could someone confirm that for me? :S
