forum admins from the alliance of fuall are trying to get people who have low post counts in forums to have their ombudsman vote disallowed.


This is pure BS. Fuall admins are trying to rip off the forum public to make their selves win at a ombudsman count by disallowing votes from low post count voters.

Didnt realize that fuall admins are gosh darn cheats in forums too.

If you disallow votes then ur screwing everyone in this game and forum.

well err... i does make a bit of sense to disallow people who have low post counts.. like someone could make a ton of multi's and claim to be players in game who aren't active on forum just to vote?.. :-k

Really tho.. it isnt hard to have 50 posts on forums.. :?

so someone who doesnt want to post everyday has no vote. were not talking multis were talking regular players who voted on ombudsman and because they dont like to post everyday they dont have a say.

Sure everyone deserves a vote, but why should someone who does not participate on the forums deserve to decide the fate of the forum? :?

that excuse doesn't go to far IMO... but hey I'm not against people who don't post often voting... I just see reason enough to not let them vote.

I would hardly say 50 posts makes you a junky, but hell why should it matter to the person voting if they don't really use the forums? I guess its really a popularity contest with ombudsman anyway.. Although I don't disagree who's up for nomination and leading, I'm sure they will do a good job. :-D

1) Robe is the only Admin working this.
2) Zeratul is the only Moderator working this.
3) The vote was left open for four extra hours and in that time Manetheran gained 10 votes taking the lead.
4) FUALL has nothing to do with it. A person who voted for Zeekomkommer asked me about it earlier today about why his vote was voided.
5) Shut up, get some facts, and stop complaining.

Besides, you could have just asked your "inside man" on what is going on just like he told you about my complaints in the Moderator Section.

Have a great day! Kbye.

Either way, it's a lose-lose situation for somebody. We could have no post count requirement, and there is a potential for multis to vote, thus contaminating the vote. Or, we can do what we are doing and have a posting requirement, but then it opens the possibility of the "popularity contest" mentality when all of the active forum users vote for a certain person because they're liked as a person better. Then again the WTH is the player representative, so maybe a popularity contest is the right way to go about this..?

Then again, either way and no matter WHAT happens, us (the moderation team) will get blamed for some type of bias. Somebody doesn't agree with another person's views and in the end we're in the wrong. Do what we do. Suck it up, and live with it. I'm not in an alliance (and frankly I really never got into the whole alliance thing so I don't care for them) so I have no alliance bias. Even due to that, I'm sure that I would be accused of some menial BS reason why my counting was invalid.

Either way, please shut up.

If you are going to talk about bias and fairness Ark, the votes that were submitted in the four extra hours of voting should be removed as they were late and therefore invalid.

Would that make you happy Ark?

Lol especially as we know it was a TTF wide order to vote for Manetheran.

Why don't we do the fair solution. The flip of a 10c piece.

LOL someone gave you dud information. Now isn't that funny, someone (probably an insider) wanted to stir up some trouble, they tell you a pack of lies (such as admins of FUALL alliances involvement, when the only admin involved in this is Robe), then they get you to complain about it and look like a complete idiot for complaining about something that isn't true.

Wow nice mate you got there.

Also, someone with 1 post count (that 1 post being a vote) is ludicrus. There's also people that haven't been around the forums for the past 6 months suddenly coming out of the wood work and voting for one particular person.

Shut up and get facts right next time. Go back to your lame source and complain to him that they gave you dud information.
