I'm obviously not in FON but is it one mod per group thread or two? Are they supposed to vote for one and the top two get it or are they supposed to vote for two. I guess if its only one then my question is idiotic, in which case feel free to give me the clubbing smiley.

I formally withdraw my name from this vote. It's not fair that anyone who never comes into our thread has the ability to choose our Mod based on on off-thread lobbying.

Couldn't agree more, which is why I voted for you and him!

I didn't vote for Jase because I didn't want to be accused of bribing him with sexual favors. :D

Oh I'm still going to bribe him, make no mistake, I just didn't want to be accused of it. :laugh:

And as far as I'm concerned, only the votes of people that actually participate in the threads should be counted.

I know I said I wasn't going to vote earlier because I didn't think I should, since its not my thread, but since so many others are who frequent the thread less than I do I think I will vote,if there are no objections.

Personally, I don't know why anybody would want to be a mod, extra work and extra time for no pay, but hey whatever I guess.

I can't compete with campaigning directed at non-FON members of this Forum.

Obviously your comment is directed at me. Most of you have had your prejudices against me from the start and because and the fact that you're voting for each other is no different. There have already been people that don't post regularly vote for you and for Avenger, but somehow you don't mention that. There are other people on this forum that know that I would be good to do this and to my credit that speaks very well of me. And not to toot my own horn but some of you have come to certain conclusions about me mostly because I've been strong in defending myself against attacks on here, and the fact that there are folk that are impartial to the goings on in here who know me well enough to know that I would do a good job again speaks volumes. I started this thread because people everyone else around was too afraid to do so, and if I've shown anything is that I can gather people together. If you want to hold that against me Doug then go ahead. You guys started smearing me even in just doing this, you even said I was "tacky" for nominating myself yet you don't feel its tacky to vote for yourself? No offense Doug, you know that I like you but your comments seem more like they're anti Merlose more than they are pro Doug which doesn't seem very well-intentioned.

I don't hold it against you that you toot your own horn. Hell, if I don't pat myself on the back from time to time. But there have been people who have never ever before posted in this forum voting on this, and that's a direct result of you going off-thread to direct them here to do so.

You think you can do a good job; I'm not arguing with your ability. I'm offended by your method of securing a spot. The fact of the matter is that your approach to this whole situation has been less than serious when dealing with those directly affected by the outcome. It seems, to the outside observer, that you're securing your victory with outside votes because you're not sure that you can carry the internal votes necessary.

I have no problem with you personally, Merl. You should know that by now. I've been grouchy about the off-thread campaigning from the get-go, which is why I wanted to limit the voting to the top posters in the FON main thread.

We're still good. At least on my end. :thumbs2:

bat_collector
06-17-2008, 12:21 AM
The people who voted for Doug and Avenger, with the exception of ONE person, are all regular members of FON who post here on a pretty much daily basis for months now.

And I dare say Avenger is probably one of the top respected posters on this entire forum who in no way can be seen as a divisive person.

He didn't even vote for himself, which speaks volumes to me on his ability to lead this group.

Just because I like to keep a sense of humor and have doesn't mean that I'm not serious. I've been nothing but nice to the lot of you but once again you guys have always treated me like I was outside of some personal clique despite the fact that this thread would not even be hear because of me. Its not even going to be a question if Nuff is going to moderate ROT since he started it but when it comes to me you guys have been quick to gang up on me, without even giving me a chance. You of all people on this thread know manipulation and b.s. that I've had to deal with on this thread and if I entertained the thought of being a mod its because I think I could prevent these things from happening to new members. :)

so who decides who is a member or not. Hmmm, I mean a current poster/participant? I was a big poster for some time, then I got away from it, then I got sick and found myself away from the entire site. Just for the record, I agree, people are are only hit and miss, don't deserve to vote. Also while I am avidly against polls, I would have voted for Avenger and Merlose. However I have to admit, it is for reasons that really have little to do with the thread itself. :confused2:

I kinda agree with this but before this new FON thread was made I was in the top posters and just haven't posted much in the new thread so I voted

Dougy - don't give up, you will do a great job

Merl - don't cave, the boards need humor and you got it

Avenger - Good luck and if you get the spot I know you will do a great job as well. I actually didn't know you were running until a few mins ago

Just dedicated. This has always been a fun place for me despite the rough patches and the misunderstandings, and I would love to see more folks post on here without the sense of alienation just because they're "not the top posters" It may sound silly to you Jase, but I'm proud to have this thread, before I really started posting on this forum and I was just lurking around....I read a lot of homophobic remarks on this forum, and just from knowing tons of comic fans in general it seems like its common place which is a shame. :thumbsdow
I think that if anything as a group we've shown that we can move past that and integrate all kinds of people into this group that are accepting of each other. :thumbs2:

You guys have to be happy with this as a whole. I'm inclined to agree that people who haven't really been part of your threads shouldn't have a say, but this is set up as a public poll, so it's easy to see if drop-in voters are skewing the results. Tell you what, if someone would like to compile a list for me of all the contributors to the main Northstar Friends threads, we can either amend the results of this poll or, if you like, hold a new one with a published list of who is eligible to vote.

You guys are blessed to have so many very worthy candidates, both those included in this set of nominations and those not included, for whatever reason.

It's worth remembering that, despite all the hoopla, this shouldn't have a major effect. The section mods will be there to help us, by spotting any problems, deailng with any posts that are offensive or against forum rules. This is a group which has caused barely any problems, so by and large they'll have nothing to do. It isn't a case of them being in charge or bossing the rest of you around. I hope that we don't see any kind of 'well, if he's a section mod, I'm not posting here any more' reactions. That would be a shame for a group that has brought the forum some of its most diverse and entertaining discussions over the last couple of years.

06-17-2008, 09:30 AM
I don't think anyone here would be like that... Once this is over, I think things will go back to normal... As long as the Mods here do just inforce the rules and do what they are supposed to do...

galactus
06-17-2008, 09:42 AM
Haha, I think you guys are getting a good idea of what its like to BE a mod, considering you can't even decide how to choose one.

FON members should figure out, on their own, how they want to choose their moderators. If you want outside votes, thats fine. If you don't, make a list of people who you feel should have a say in the process.

I don't think anyone should be prohibited from voting for themselves. The reason they want to be a mod is because they believe they are best for the job. After all, if you don't believe in yourself, who will?

I agree that it may be classy and noble to not vote for yourself, it shouldn't be prohibited IMO. :)

As I said before that I enjoy the diversity of posters in here, hence that's not taking ownership. I think personal biases also make blind you to look at things in a fair manner, and quite frankly everybody here knows that you seem to have some personal problem with me. ITs that personal bias that prevents people from pointing out and talking positive things about the 4 people nominated but rather to point at me and quickly cry "foul" before accounting for the positive points.
Its clear that everyone wants Scott(Avenger) to do this job and I even agree with you, however this is suppose to be for 2 people. Now out of the rest of the people up for the vote I think I would do the best job, and you want to hold it against me that I can bring in people that that don't normally post. Which is my biggest problem why people don't come around here is because to such a tight community you tend to invalidate any outside opinions you don't agree with. So to discredit other people is to really discredit the rest of the forum.

I would like to say I appreciate some of the things merl has done. He did start the thread and is a valued member of SF.com beyond FON.

On the other hand, I would like to say its not like there weren't any out gays on the board before the thread. Marvelboi, who doesn't even post there, never hid who he was, and jesse came out earlier as well. These two were the first two gay people I knew who had simiar hobbies and interests to me.

I feel myself the purpose of the section mod serves the needs of the people who participate most in FON. Hence, I strongly believe those who actively post there should have a say. I feel I have no right to vote for anyone as an amazon, gore, or Mafia mod, as I have no idea what the group dynamics of that group are. I might like person X, but I have no idea the group dynamics of person X has with the other members of that section.

Hey, Merl, you seem to be taking this a lot more personally than people are making it. It's not about whether you would do a good job or not. It's not about how many people you can bring in to post (although, I'll point out that the people who appeared and voted did NOT post their reasoning, which means that they just came in here to vote for you without knowing how you act or interact on this part of the forum.) The face you present in other threads is different from the one you use in here. Maybe not drastically, but enough that I feel that for you to go, say, into the Dazzler thread and say 'I'd be an awesome MOD! Everyone go and vote for me!; is sort of a misrepresentation on your part.

You certainly don't act like you're the victim on other threads. I don't know why you're doing it here. No one is attacking you personally, nor are they implying that you wouldn't do a good job. They're just saying that the people who have to interact with you in this forum should be the ones to decide whether or not you're capable of MODding.

You need to get off your high horse about your qualifications, because it's so not helping your case. :)

There can be a nice balance between being serious and joking Merl, and most of the time you just can't stop joking. You dig and dig until you piss people off and they have to take a LOA from FON, yet you want everybody to think that you bring a bunch of people here.

YEs but group dynamics change very quickly, as several people mentioned that they use to post frequently but now they don't, same that we get new heavy posters in here after all Jono has only been here since recently, and since has drastically changed the dynamic. And buy the same token Avenger, Jesse haven't posted here heavily in recent memory but would we discredit their opinions and contributions? No. This thread is certainly not now what it was like 4 months or 8 months ago because people change, opinions change etc. So to assume that the dynamics are always going to be the same is slightly naive.

Some of the people that have voted for me are heavy contributors to this forum and to think that they don't know how this group goes despite the fact that they don't post here seems unfair.

And buy the same token Avenger, Jesse haven't posted here heavily in recent memory but would we discredit their opinions and contributions? No. This thread is certainly not now what it was like 4 months or 8 months ago because people change, opinions change etc. So to assume that the dynamics are always going to be the same is slightly naive.

Some of the people that have voted for me are heavy contributors to this forum and to think that they don't know how this group goes despite the fact that they don't post here seems unfair.

so now i'm "heavy"??? :mad:

Yes, that's true. It does seem unfair. Which is why I haven't offered my vote in GORE or the Mafia, or even ROT, which I would have a right to do, because I -don't- post in those threads, and don't know all the players well enough to say one that I communicate, say, with here is better than someone I barely interact with. I don't think anyone would debate the level of my contribution to the forum as a whole.

So, while it's unfair to you, it's not a standard that I'm applying to only this forum. I'm holding myself to it, as well.

Let's just settle this who can vote and who can't vote and be done with it. Seems to me that the majority of us want the vote restricted. We just need to define that restriction.

I vote that we allow the top 15 overall FON posters, from FONs 1-3.

Hey, Merl, you seem to be taking this a lot more personally than people are making it. It's not about whether you would do a good job or not. It's not about how many people you can bring in to post (although, I'll point out that the people who appeared and voted did NOT post their reasoning, which means that they just came in here to vote for you without knowing how you act or interact on this part of the forum.) The face you present in other threads is different from the one you use in here. Maybe not drastically, but enough that I feel that for you to go, say, into the Dazzler thread and say 'I'd be an awesome MOD! Everyone go and vote for me!; is sort of a misrepresentation on your part.

You certainly don't act like you're the victim on other threads. I don't know why you're doing it here. No one is attacking you personally, nor are they implying that you wouldn't do a good job. They're just saying that the people who have to interact with you in this forum should be the ones to decide whether or not you're capable of MODding.

You need to get off your high horse about your qualifications, because it's so not helping your case. :)


Doug I have just been trying to point out that I can be impartial to whomever may come waltzing in here, that's my point. And I'm not saying anyone is attacking me just that personal biases against me cloud judgment.

Honestly Doug I don't see that you could be, you didn't want to be up here when someone didn't mention your name and you wanted to opt out the second I had 2 votes form non regulars. And now you're telling me I need to "get off my horse" that's just plain rude.

Its clear some of you guys don't want me to do it fine its clear, but many of the same people that voted for Avenger who I feel are more impartial are the same ones that voted for me. However I'm sorry to say I don't feel that anyone else here besides Avenger and myself could do a good job.

This may seem a radical solution, but I'm just going to throw it out there. There seems to be a lot of desire on the part of certain people to be mods here (why I can't imagine). JDH has already said that it doesn't mean that mods can change any rules or anything or implement bans unilaterally or whatever. It is hard to stay on line and mod all the time anyway.

What if all three are allowed to be mods? I think all have valid points in their arguments and any other solution is going to leave at least someone really angry and possibly cause a lot of problems in the thread in particular and in the forum in general.

Ok plan B, since nobody likes my MOD squad idea, how about this. There seems to be general agreement that Scott/Avenger is a fine choice, we let him be one. After that it is evident that 2 of the 4 remaining candidates are in the running.

Suppose we have a second run-off poll with only those two choices, and allow to vote only those that you agree should vote. IMO it should not be restricted to just the top 15 posters, since as Black Cat and others have pointed out they like to post there but just haven't lately, but neither should it be open to just anyone regardless if they have ever posted in FON or not. Suppose you set a minimum threshold, say 50 posts in FON and then let the voting begin.

Also the votes should not be public this time. JDH can see who voted and make sure nobody inelligible votes. Then whoever wins wins and all parties agree never to mention it again. :thumbs2:

Guys. Please don't start this back up. :)

I don't think Al's intent was to be trollish, but rather to attempt to make some points and maybe tweak Jesse's tail a bit. :laugh: (just kidding, Al!)

I'm not here to cause problems. All I'm saying is that I think Jesse is coming off like a control freak. The poll was posted. Let it stand. That's fair. Stop trying to change everything to better suit your ideas. Maybe, it's time to give others a chance? :thumbs2:

Yes, in the best interest of FON, I've extended an olive branch to Merl and he has graciously accepted. We've called a truce!! :buttrock:

Now come give me a kiss Jono!

Holy cow, this is a sprited thread! I'm not voting because I don't think anyone but regular and/or long-time posters should have a say. :) If someone doesn't post in a thread, why should they have a say in who the mods are?

OK, I think this has run its course now. You all talked it through and resolved your differences like the collective credit to the forum all you guys are. It would be a shame for anyone to end up looking like a dick by starting it all up again.

If the general consensus is that Avenger would be mod enough for you right now, could chief returning officer Superdoug PM Galactus to let him know? Nothing to stop you giving Scott a wingman down the line. If the issue is still up for debate, since all three candidates were pretty much neck and neck, just let Drew know when i's resolved.
