I'm voting for the Inanimate Carbon Rod.

[Reply #42 on:]

At least Kryten's on my side... 

[Reply #43 on:]

Can we have Inanimate Boron Rod for vice president?

[Reply #44 on:]

No.

Cool. I started this...

I don't care either way though.

[Reply #47 on:]

Just thought I'd bring this back just prior to POTM December.  However, not to bring up the point of Newbie's voting, as it's already unanimously decided that they can (if they want).

However, we had some indicision about the final ten (and thanks to eccentric counting by my good self) one PEELer wasn't put forward.

Earlier in this thread I suggested that two things happen to avoid this in future:

1) No SPAM or conversating in the POTM Thread (just post your three names and reasons and that's it)

2) No running totals.  Instead, 48 hours after the thread is open, one PEELer will count up the nominations, and post the count.  Once this count is seconded, the final thread can be created.

Sound okay?  If not, I'll shut up now.

1) I agree, no spam. Once you have voted that's it. No changing, no editing and no re-voting. If you do, they should be voided.

2) 3 Peelers count up, post their counts. 3 is the best number to use. I volenteer to be a counter.

I hate the Peelies of the month thing. It's boring.

[Reply #51 on:]

I don't care really, they can't be prevented from voting, and when it comes to nominating nobody knows if the newbie is new to PEEL or got to know the place as a lurker for a few months before signing up.

Anybody spamming the nomination thread should be disqualified and their nominations ignored.

Yeah, big popularity contest. But I think people who think about their vote deserve to keep voting. I suppose it's all harmless fun realy.

[Reply #53 on:]

I'll be a crusader for n00b rights. They should be able to vote. It's stupid to ban them from voting. Are they second class citizens? It like some bizarre descrimination.

It is a popularity contest, but eventually, it will be down to posting quality. Then, when everone else has theirs, I'll get a chance. Unless that damn rod beats me again. I hate him so much.

We need a 'Poster of the Year' poll, made up of the 12 (13, 14...?) posters of the month from 2002. Maybe after December 2002 is decided, perhaps. I don't know how you'd go about making a poll with 14 choices though...

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Only people who have been here for over two years and have an Amy avatar but aren't a jew should be allowed vote

Only Kryten?

Young Jeremy, put your skull cap thingamabob on this instance. You're confusing the noobs.

Perhaps they should also have to keep the same Amy avatar, or at least not change it for ages

We've got 12 winners from 2002 right? No winner for February, but two winners for April.

What are we going to do then? Have two separate polls with 6 options each, then one final poll of two options with the winner of each previous poll? Or have a PotMotY nominations, where you put forward 3 2002 winners with the most popular 5(?) going through to a final poll?

Vote Holly

[Reply #62 on:]

Well apparantly the PEEL Public don't care about it.Thats explination enough right..?

[Reply #63 on:]

I"d be interested in the PotY poll. Archie's idea of two polls for each 6 months, then one for a decider is a good one 

Vote for your favourite bra party leader. Me!

[Reply #64 on:]

How many people remember what was going on on PEEL 12 months ago?

[Reply #65 on:]

The important ones.

[Reply #66 on:]

Well, it'd be more of a collection of the PotM winners from the past 12 months, and voting your favourite member from those people listed.

Sounds reasonable to me.

[Reply #68 on:]

POTM this month is a disaster! What we need to do:
-Draw up a final list of rules
-Post this list of rules (make it short) at the start of each POTM thread
-Post a list of those who have previously won (yes, a list, not a link) at the start of each thread
-Keep the threads spam free. Mods, be ruthless!
-Regulate all these rules

[Reply #69 on:]

I think we should form a committee of 10 PEEL'ers to review the rules, make a rough draft of the final rules and submit them for public hearing. After that, the committee take the reactions from the hearing and incorporate them into the rules, and submit the final draft for approval by Earth President mArc. After that we run it by Central Bureaucracy to check for legal issues, and then the rules are put into effect.

At the same time we form a Court of Appeal, consisting of 7 judges. If you feel the rules are interpreted unfavorably for you you can take it to court (in the American spirit  ).

Of course we need a set up a committee to select the members of the Rule Committee and the Court.

And we need to appoint a President of the Court of Appeal.

Yes, that was sarcasm. PotM shouldn't be about rules and stuff like that. It was simple from the start, just keep it in the spirit of thos and we should be fine.

[Reply #70 on:]

Just let me run it and everything will be fine!!!

[Reply #71 on:]

But before we implement terals plane, we need to form a committy of around 10 peelers to decide on who is going to be on the rules review committee.

Whoa, are you sure it's safe to form the committee forming committee without forming a committee to plan it first?

[Reply #73 on:]

Meh..committee schmomittee

You commies and your bureaucracy. It 's even worse than in 1984. Oh and where can I get permit to widen the size of my mailbox by 6 mm?

Your right, i think we should have referendum to decide who is on the comitee forming comitee.  But first we need to establish a comitee to decide on the referendum rules and regulations.  We shall call it the The referendum comitee for the POTM comitee forming comitee

Catchy..

[Reply #75 on:]

Eventually we'll face up to the fact that PEEL's quiet tonight...

[Reply #76 on:]

Hmmm, easy tiger, if you go of topic they may set up a comitee to decide what to do with you.

[Reply #77 on:]

That's assuming the committee forming committee stuff can be considered ON topic.

There already is a comittee for that, it's called the KGB.
"The KGB? I thought you guys where abolished."
"Njet!! That's what we wanted you to believe!"      

[Reply #79 on:]

PccF: I dont know, thats for the commitee to decide.
