I hear you, and I don't disagree that you should be the one to get all the backlash. Other members are questioning posts that seem clear to most, but not all. It's also not only what you say but how to say it (not just you, everyone here) and some people have an opinion that will not be changed.

Case in point, I don't care if someone from 5 years ago who doesn't play the game or check this forum votes, but how is that fair to the current nominees? And conversely, if 50 people did only that (vote but not be currenly active) how is that fair to anyone who is here daily (silent or not). Yet when I suggest there be a boundary for member voting, the suggestion is everyone is equal including former admin. Now if you were accepting a nominee position, would you want 50 people who are not using this forum to vote for you - or against you? And in that vein, should members who are reading this but may have joined on 2/4 be less important than a member who signed up on 2/3? It may not be a major issue, but there needs to be some version of equality for neutrality.

I did comment that a silent member is not the same as an inactive member. Maybe this will clarify my post about having a guideline. I thought 2+ years was more than enough time (???).... who would not be here for 2 years and come back to post for one vote without prompting? I agree there needs to be some form of transparancy and without that, you can elect not to be here and spend your time elsewhere. I totally get that. I hope Sannse will be invested in trying to make this an easier process. She has taking the voting/polling away from Kat and she is trying to get a sense of what everyone wants. I have no past issues with her so I am coming at this from a neutral point of view.

That said ... if GEL is not an accepted nominee (and she has not said she is or she isn't and no one seems to have noticed but me...?) then we have 5 accepted (Karen, Only 8, Podaci, MD Bugs and Kat) which is the 5 we would vote on. So do we even need a vote? It's all very interesting to see how everyone feels, but the simplist things are debated. It is exhausting to some degree.

Anyway... hope you're having a nice Wednesday (outside of this whole debacle)
