Well well, we've decided to have some new admins as was requested by several people.
What you see here is a list of the people suggested for being and admin.
You are free to choose the one you see fits, but please, no one should tell another to vote for so or so, just vote for yourself according to their behaviour.
Also if you don't know whom to vote to, then you might vote a Null Vote.

Some important notes:

1- The top 3 voted are going to be moderators for some time (maybe a month) to evaluate thier behaviour, then they'll be made admins if they prove trusty.

2- The poll will remain for a week (or less if all people voted quickly), then decisions will be taken.

3- If anything goes wrong with this poll, admins will vote for the top 3 they want.

4- If you are going to post here by for any reason, then don't offend any of the other members.

5- Members who will get a low number of votes, don't feel sad, this doesn't mean you're bad, it just means that thier are others who might be better.

Thanks everyone for attention, and please if you didn't notice take a look at the Warning post, some modifications took place.

Cool, so despite simon we are going to do this as a democracy.
(if you can't tell I'm being sarcastic, simon's a cool guy)

are the new admin going to replace the old, inactive ones like farmboy, or will they just be added to the list.

[Mohamed]

Hey Crimson, don't start with Simon or he might kick both of us.
Just to let you (and others) know, Simon believes in democracy very much, whatever he wants to do he asks others, so don't really take notice of his threats (you know, living in both Russia and US had a very badd effect on him).

You would also sense this democracy if you become a moderator soon.
Just make yourself (and other moderators too) ready for being a dictator, and say you are not.

P.S. Don't reply to this post here, don't go off-topic.

wow didnt even make the polls, oh well sometimes i go away for months at a time

[CrimsonCasio]

huhn didnt even ask... mabey they got you two mixed up.

[huhn_m]

I haven't asked because i think the rights i've right now are enough.
I think you should leave this stuff to the more experienced.

I prefer

BiTwhise (because of his ASM knowledge) and
2072 (because of his C knowledge).

They would be a good addition to the member team.

[CrimsonCasio]

Very true, but I am learning these things and I am nearly always on so if someone needs help I can at least relay their question to the proper person... plus I doubt many people have as much experiance with BASIC as I do, so I can help with that.

also its good to have admin in diffrent time zones, that way there isnt a time of day when no help is availible.

[rjstephens]

ok i had an acciddent. i click on null vote. some admin please change my vote to "rjstephens"

now it's not a secret ballet

how many new moderating staff will there be??

(chanting in whisper: 4, 4, 4, ...)

[Killer83Z]

[i]1- The top 3 voted are going to be moderators for some time (maybe a month) to evaluate thier behaviour, then they'll be made admins if they prove trusty.

I really like quoting what already has been said, rj

Please read more carefully

[Simprobe]

umm..i feel stupid. Anyone know how to change poll results without MYSQL tweaking? Lets fulfill RJ's request, I mean..he wants it done.

Killer?

THanks,
Simon

[CrimsonCasio]

just count him one up from whatever the final results are. by the way is it posible to disable guests from viewing poll results, if you dont log on and look at a poll you can look at the results without doing a null vote.

[rjstephens]

please don't flame me for this, but why don't you make them ALL moderaters (me me me) and then moniter their behaviour for a month and then put 3 to admin and put the rest back down to normal user (or leave them at moderater? it sounds like a fairer idea to me.

If i had known about this poll, i would probably have posted something in the free discussion forum about "why you should vote for me" a fedw days before it went up

[BiTwhise]

You don't need to advertise yourself, it's not a presidential election or anything..
Your replies and how you handle questions in the forum should be indication enough for ppl to vote ..

[CrimsonCasio]

we were asked not to do that.

[Mohamed]

Simon: Polls can't be played with without tweaking.
So rj's request is considered, he has a one vote to be considered.

rj: Sorry, but this have been discussed for a long time and with deep thoughts between admins, and that's the final decision, more than 3 moderators for such a small forum is not necessary (of course that's not the only reason), so please consider this poll as it is is a final decision.

[Simprobe]

If you dont make it this time.. Im sure we will have another round in a few months. Anyone that wants to prove themselves worthy still has a chance. Its not anythign personal, and we dont want it to be..that is why we enabled the poll. I have nothing against anyone here at this forum, well..er.. except Killer83Z

HAHHAh..im just kidding killer, i Just wanted to mess with you...like I always do!

Enjoy,
Simon

[rjstephens]

hmm. small forum? That gives me an idea.

my idea: go spend a couple of thousand dollars advertising the UCF for you, to expand from 200 members to 2000 members

but i'm not gonna do it. I'm not that desperate to become an admin.

my other idea: create some new users and vote as them, but i'm not gonna do that either.

If five or six people with no posts go and vote for me you'll know, so i won't do that.

[Bob Vila]

maybe the admins should change the poll to add ross instead of me i dont even have a site

[rjstephens]

i don't have one YET. i should have one soon.

[Bob Vila]

hey rj, you really want to be an admin don't you?

[Pixter]

yeah rj says that he is not desparate to become an admin but it looks like he REALLY wants to be one.

But I don't really mind about who is going to be admin as long as he/she/it does his job well

[rjstephens]

yeah i do want to be an admin. i have been with this forum since back when it was using ubb.

i want to have a say in how this forum is run, all that.

it looks like i'm not gonna win. when's the next round of voting?

[CrimsonCasio]

If you dont make it this time.. Im sure we will have another round in a few months.  Anyone that wants to prove themselves worthy still has a chance.  Its not anythign personal, and we dont want it to be..that is why we enabled the poll.  I have nothing against anyone here at this forum, well..er.. except Killer83Z

hehe, rj you really got to read the posts...

[rjstephens]

i swear i read that. i wanted to know how soon.

[Mohamed]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm glad to announce the result of our poll:

New moderators:

1- BiTwhise
2- 2072
3- CrimsonCasio

After a test period they should be qualified to become administrators, right now they have all post moderation access, Moderator forum access, and some new toys.

Congratulations.

P.S. I was away the past week 'coz my PC broke down, seems to take some time, so I'll be away most of the time, maybe I'll come back again next week or so.
Wish me good luck.

*edit*
Umm, I re-opened the thread in case you'd like to congratulate the new mods.

Thnx , this is Cool

And, Congrats to 2072 and Crimson

[Casto Productions]

Congratz guys, you three will be a definite positive add to the current staff. I'm sure you probably answered this somewhere, but I seem to have missed that post. Will those three replace three moderators that have not been active in some time? Just curious.

[CrimsonCasio]

Yeah! I'm so happy!
I'd like to take this time to thank everyone here: thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you...

hehe, got to get to work looking at these new options...

[ross8653]

just dont gay up the forums by locking threads like it's your job, i'm so sick of that crap

[rjstephens]

d'oh

oh well.

congrats crimson, bitwise and 2072

i can't wait till the next round of voting.

[Pixter]

I'm happy with the new moderators. Congratz to you all
