      It is NOT an election of who would be the President of Apolyton... because threads like that aren't allowed... and if this were perceived as such, the thread would be deleted
      This Election is about who Apolytoners would vote for for president of another imaginary web-site

      IIRC I was baned for one week after poly president election thread

        So it simply isn't allowed.

        In addition... Apolyton isn't a democracy. Whether you like it or not, it's a privately owned site... where the owners can do as they wish since they own it.

            So what's wrong with joke elections (aside from them being popularity contests)? Given that no matter who gets "elected," Dan and Mark, as well as their lackies, still have all the power, it makes no difference who claims to be what.

              The problem is, it usually gets out of hand... the last time, too many threads... spilled over into the on topic forums... just plain silly and stupid.

              If this thread was about electing a president of Apoyton, it would be toast... but since it is just a who we would vote for president of the US...it's OK

                  While I'm sure this will earn me a wedgie from my fellow students, given that I hate popularity contests (too much sympathy for the losers), I'm going to have to point you in the direction of the poll title.

                        Actually, the original intention was for President of the US. (or other foriegn country) thus I picked posters with distinct political views, not distinct 'poly personalities (though some of that was included too).

                        I didn't say "President of US" cause I figured it'd be too Amercentric. And I didn't say "President of the US, or whichever nation you happen to live in or prefer to vote towards" cause it was too PC and wimpy. So I just left it ambiguous.

                              Looks like two clear candidates are emerging.

                              So, a question to the field. What would be your first action taken if elected?
