[edit] Deleting comments by other editors

Surely that is not permitted and should be grounds for instant dismissal from the poll? ħumanUser talk:Human 02:59, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

I would suggest that it was probably an accident, since she was deleting everything that had been there. Before you launch another campaign of hysteria, ask.--ADtalkModerator 03:22, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
AD is correct, I didn't notice the comment. Let's not get into the business of shooting first and asking questions later, eh? Picon small.pngAcer Blue 04:07, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

[edit] A bit more Wikipedia style...?

As a veteran of many Wikipedia elections, can I suggest that we divide the campaign material from the Festival of Hate comments by other users? While references to "how WP does it" aren't always welcome (and it's not like WP is a paragon of the election process), I'll note that WP eventually got to this approach because of... well what is already going on here.

The campaign section should solely be the venue for people to promote themselves. At the moment the lengthy discussions can disadvantage those innocent bystanders who follow below. (Someone had the sense to push all of the "Human" wrangling to the end, but now the candidates are out of order, which makes it all a bit ramshackle.)

I'd suggest letting the campaign section be restricted to candidates advocating themselves. A separate discussion area will then compartmentalize the heated vitriol mature comments.VOXHUMANA 03:30, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Naaa, it's way more fun and insulting this way. AceModerator 04:19, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
Damn right!--ADtalkModerator 06:23, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
Ah well, fuck the lot of ya then :P VOXHUMANA 06:32, 17 June 2012 (UTC)


I think it should be for statements by the candidates, and questions for the candidates. The "here's why shouldn't vote for this guy" stuff should be somewhere else, like here on the talkpage. €₳$£ΘĪÐWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 09:54, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

I agree but people can't help but jump in feet first. Redchuck.gif ГенгисRationalWiki GOLD memberModerator 10:11, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

[edit] List of eligible voters?

Is there a list of eligible voters? I'd like to spam them with unsolicited campaign flyers. sterileGoatsforSterile.svgno new information 05:52, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Other 5 candidates?

I went to vote and realized that that only 7 of the 12 have posted on the campaigning thread. Can someone harass the other candidates into saying something?--Just relax, and stay funny (talk) 22:09, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Why should I start now? The vote is for moderator not president. Redchuck.gif ГенгисIs the Pope a Catholic?Moderator 23:02, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
Well then I guess I'm only voting for one person.--Just relax, and stay funny (talk) 23:03, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
"Campaigning" has always been a strong word for what we do. sterilesporadic heavy hitter 23:58, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
I have been sufficiently cajoled into saying something. Picon small.pngLiquid Blue 02:09, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

[edit] Candidates' debate

Is a candidates' debate a good idea or a terrible idea? SophieWilder 16:34, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Its the best idea ever to come out of a Rationalwikian. MarcusCicero (talk) 16:37, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
Have you declared, Sophie? Your name is not in bold -if you have not, then there's only seven candidates for seven spots. --TheLateGatsby (The end of the dock ) 16:57, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
I thought I just had to sign. SophieWilder 17:00, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
...that is to say, there's no point to a debate, the seven candidates will become moderators by default. --TheLateGatsby (The end of the dock ) 16:58, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
A candidates' debate? Laugh about it, shout about it, when you've got to choose. Anyway you look at it you lose. If I knew the way/I would take you home. 17:01, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
Is there a chance I could get in by default? MarcusCicero (talk) 18:20, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
Yep. Nutty Roux100x100 anarchy symbol.svg 18:21, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
Andy's right. God DOES have a sense of humour If I knew the way/I would take you home. 18:32, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
I can't wait until I'm in office and make all of the necessary reforms to safeguard Rationalwiki's future. I thank you for the privilege (default) of being your elected representative. MarcusCicero (talk) 18:38, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
