Eh, I don't know. I mean, that really makes it impossible to get elected without the support of the older people. For example if one person votes for:

MR. A he could have (5)

whereas with registrations in 2001/2 it would take 2 voters to get to (6) [not bad]
but for registrations for 2003/4 it would take 3 voters to get to (6).
And for registrations for 2005, ti would require 5 voters to get to (6).

If the situation were changed next year, it would look like this:

1998,1999- 5 votes
2000,2001- 4 votes
2002,2003- 3 votes
2004,2005- 2 votes
2006,****- 1 vote

In my proposed system it would be:

1998,1999- 4 votes, 4 people
2000,2001- 4 votes, 3 people
2002,2003- 3 votes, 3 people
2004,2005- 2 votes, 3 people
2006,****- 1 vote, 3 people

It seems fairer.

Fairer... based on what?

I think you should need the old timers support to get in... again, who knows the site better. It also helps the candidates who did great things for the site but are no longer around. Many of the new people don't know who they were, and don't realize how much some people contributed to make Apolyton what it is

[Nikolai]

I agree with that Ming. I also thinks it's wrong to give the old timers more people to vote for, it should suffice with more votes I think.

I feel like an old timer myself btw, although I won't be with these proposals before after next year. But that's okay, I am not nearly as old here as many others. 4,5 years is some time though, especially on the net. I don't know what I'd do without poly. One thing's for sure, I wouldn't be nearly as much on the net as I am now.

More votes for old timers

In fact I say we just raise the voting age here on the forum to 3 years. No one should be allowed to vote until they've been here at least 3 years. They just don't have the experience on the boards necessary to cast an informed ballot.

Ageist!

[Japher]

Yeah! I've been here for over 3 years and I still can't cast an informed ballot!!!

Mainly because when I say "here" I mean the OTF.

[Theben]

Let old timers vote for themselves...

You're originally from Florida?

[MrFun]

DarkCloud -- when do we get the final results?

[bongo]

Voting age of 3?!? Too harsh

If we should have a voting age at all (not that it is an issue I have very strong opinions about anyway) it shouldn't be higher than 1 year.

I'm gay, so I'm saved from this obligation.



Unless you have equality in this regards instead of the retarded "don't ask, don't tell."
