Family

Writing My novel
Writing My Book of Poetry
Writing my Articles
School
Money

and Ng is somewhere around here. Hey, i gotta have a life man.

you set a goal, you achieve it.

Oh, i will. What was the date i said by again?

then it teaches you to not make goals you wont easily achieve...

I would never do such a thing. Shame on you for thinking such vulger thoughts that will never be nigh enough for a licking from my boot, but a further yonder whilst i laugh at it from a distance.

because any goal that is hard to achieve is definately not worth it!

Maybe so.

I don't think Alkador would win... i never said that. lol. Everyone knows who i think is gonna win, there was like 10 posts on it. Anyway, i said Alkador has a better chance then Joe. As in i think he'll get more votes. I respect Joe, but he just isn't on as much as some would probably like to see. He's a cool guy though.

I agree with some things, but you act as if you are so helpful. This is the first time i have ever seen you before.
I think once a month is perfect and i think that those who arn;t helpful, justly, will be retired if necassary. DOn;t get worked up about nothing.

I partly agree. Alkador is sometimes helpful, many of his posts are interesting to read and he's not spamming the LUL. He surely is a LUL regular but the main problem is that he can't be considered a helpful whereis/howto regular because he mostly posts/checks the LUL (I typed mostly, NOT always, anyone should remember that before replying). The fact that he rarely checks the other threads (even if it's a question thread by a newcomer) makes thejoe and jonthomson better candidates. I think that he still needs to work on both criteria.

You are Denvish, right? :D

There should be another rule which RC can kick out someone that wasn't even close to be a regular during a period of 3-5 months.
1-2 months would be unfair, after 3 or 5, it would be a necessity.
I agree, it would be better if more people used their OUT vote.

I can understand why RC doesn't want to have torun elections that often, and I'm not trying to undermine him when I say that if I was running this list, I would have weekly or fortnightly elections, in order to keep it up to date.

I summarized most reasons why the elections can't be done as often as you would like but I'm sure that you already knew that Denvish. I might be wrong for some of the reasons, correct me if I am :)

Three times per week a voting process through email... that wouldn't be efficient and the rules would need to be changed (required minimum of votes to enter, very low amount of votes needed for a kick, voting process not through email... we would need to find a faster way to vote).
Then preparing the the potential list 3 times per month would be a pain in the ass and judging who's a regular wouldn't be as accurate than during a longer period.

BTW, you are so damn active that I wouldn't be surprised that you would be able to do very prepared elections during a short period of time.

I fully agree with that. Or at least hold a vote entirely for retiring the guy who has not been active for the 3+ months.

Response to Wi/Ht Members Vs. Mods 2005-01-21 22:10:50


First off, Myst that person you're talking too is Denvish, I mean, he even said he was in the second post, it's even in your quoted text man! >_>

I'll agree with this here. I know exactly what you mean. I saw last month and I thought for sure one of those 2 members would have been voted off then. But to my surprise there were very little out votes period. Everyone said it was out of the "holiday spirit" but in my opinion it just seemed as if no one wanted to bother going and voting off their friends. I don't know why people want to keep them on when they can just be re-elected later on if they come back. I mean, say Bonus went inactive for a long while, he's my friend, but I'd still have to vote him off since it'd be pointless for him to be on, and I'd know that if he did come back he'd easily get back on if he went regular again. And concerning Alkador, he is indeed a very regular person, a much better befriender than a helper. He easily makes people like him, without having to be overly helpful. Personally, I think -king-o-games- is one of the most helpful people in the Wi/Ht. But he never gets recognized because of the fact he never posts in the LUL, which is just terrible. ):<

Going by this and previous elections, it seems that I may be the only one who feels this way....

Well I've only seen the past 3 elections. The one you got in the one where ramagi got in and then the one where I got in. I don't think there were elections before then, I'll probably have to go back in check though. But I already know you can't be talking about your election or ramagi's because you are both helpful. Mine is the one in question here, and I have to say I do agree. I didn't view myself as very helpful, because I really don't know enough to BE helpful. I mean, I don't have anywhere near the programming skills to make some list using some program, so I lose out there. And when it comes to threads, it's just annoying for me to try and help. Because I either don't know myself, or when I do try to help because I do know, someone ALWAYS beats me to it. I try, I'm just not good at it. So I agree, I'm like Alkador in the fact I got people to vote me in based on just #1 and not part #2. So blah blah, I don't deserve to be in when looking at both rules pretty much. ;_;

Also, in terms of the OUT vote, I really wish that people would use their votes to cut out the dead wood. There are at least 2 people on the Regulars list who simply do not belong there now - they're not regular, and thus they're not helpful. What's the point of having a Regulars list if it includes people who haven't been Wi/Ht Regulars for 2+ months?

As I said earlier this is a part I agree on whole-heartedly. And it isn't just 2 people, in my opinion there are three of them that need to be just cut-off because of their current activity. I know I'll be using my out vote to try and get one of them off. Of course, I can't name the people because that'd qualify as "discussing votes" but we ALL know who they are. The people who never really do anything anymore for the Wi/Ht. I mean, at least checking up once every other day would be enough to let me think of them as dedicated. But they rarely stop by, if ever. Thus, they aren't regulars, and aren't fit for the list. >_>

That's part of the reason that I encouraged RC to do the tri-monthly updates - I was kind of hoping that the elections could be that often as well - since I personally think this should be a much more dynamic list than the other ones. I can understand why RC doesn't want to have torun elections that often, and I'm not trying to undermine him when I say that if I was running this list, I would have weekly or fortnightly elections, in order to keep it up to date.

Well with what EK said (well he hasn't technically said it yet, his post is on the next page) I have to agree with him over you, when concerning trimonthly. That would be far too fast for the Wi/Ht. We'd expand far too quickly and before you knew it we'd have 20~25 members, even with vote offs. But, on the other hand, a fortnightly update would be very nice. Twice a month (approx.) is a very good way to get it done. I'm sure we'd be able to pick off anyone who was lagging behind, and not overflow too quickly all at once.

That's my two-penneth anyway, take it or leave it and bear in mind that it was fuelled at least partly by alcohol.

Well I just threw in mine as well. Hopefully I didn't word anything incorrectly like my usual mess-ups with these kinds of discussions. Also, concerning your #1 (regularity) and #2 (helpfulness) I'd probably go at that from a different angle than you. I'd say that #1 is dedication. I mean, it's enough to come and post here often, but you need to be dedicated and actually show you care about Wi/Ht by some way or another rather than the usual "congrats everyone, I did this" I've been seeing more and more people do. They rarely venture beyond the LUL and that's all I see out of them, but they are regular. Thus, dedication is much more sincere than just regularity. And #2 would be helpfulness as you said. But I add a #3. Concern. Yes, concern, someone who is constantly stating their opinion about things that happen here is a good thing to have. It shows you are paying attention to the things that are going on and aren't just going to "let things work out" and "go with it". People who assert themselves gain more attention and thus are good choices because they care about what's going on in Wi/Ht. ;)

*checks to see what's been said while he was typing this* Nice to see Myst finally finished figuring out that it was Denvish. XD

I havn;t been around long enough to know who should or should not be voted off. But just from the past two weeks i cna name a few who i have never even seen before. Though, they could just be a short leave, i have only been here for two weeks.
Although, if it ha sbeen longer, i agree they should be cut fro mthe list. If they decide to come back, they probably will have a heads up for votes over newcomers. With Deltead it may be different, because he came back, but not in a big way. He kind of crawled in instead of rampaging in. I posted like 20 times in this section on my first few days trying to learn everything i could. It may have annoyed people, but i got it over with as quick as i could and now i am trying to help newcomers. Plus, this time around, there seems to be some bigger name so nthe potential list, so newcomers or returnees may have a harder time gaining or regaining that respect and reputation.

Well I've only seen the past 3 elections. The one you got in the one where ramagi got in and then the one where I got in. I don't think there were elections before then, I'll probably have to go back in check though. But I already know you can't be talking about your election or ...

I know exactly what you mean. Half the stuff i can't answer, but the studd i can always gets answered before i finally realize i knew the answer. Confused? lol. Anyway, ya i get what you mean. However, being helpful doesn't mean helping just those who start question threads or my relaying helpful information about ranks and numbers... it can also count as to helping by giving ideas for those threads or ranks etc. It can be giving appropriate praise to people like Denvish who do al lthose threads i barely understand and display those numbers i'll never see myself ranked upon lol... there is more then one way to hel out. I try and help out in all ways, but if i can't sometimes, i try not to get aggrivated by it.

As I said earlier this is a part I agree on whole-heartedly. And it isn't just 2 people, in my opinion there are three of them that need to be just cut-off because ...

That is why i also feel their should be a mandetory Out vote. Maybe i am wrong, but last voting i noticed Out voted tallied up to 2... which isnt even a quarter of the regulars list. ALL members should have to give one Out vote... because there will always be at least 1 person who isn't the 'regular' they should be.

Twice a month (approx.) is a very good way to get it done. I'm sure we'd be able to pick off anyone who was lagging behind, and not overflow too quickly all at once.

Also a decent idea.

That paragraph is kind of what i was trying to get at earlier up i nthis post. I fully agree with you. There are man yways to help, and 'concern' was good example of what i was thinking, but couldn;t quite figure out what to say. As well, the dedication proves worthyness of the regular list.

*checks to see what's been said while he was typing this* Nice to see Myst finally finished figuring out that it was Denvish. XD

Some interesting discussion in here. My sole purpose when coming to Wi/Ht? was to be respected, and to have so many members already do that has satisfied me greatly.

I do agree with you guys and if I do get elected, it will be a bonus. But I do not mind if I am not voted, as I know that there's another side of me that hasn't shined yet. Of course, I can begin working on that, but it's something I haven't really considered much of.

I am glad that people are talking about me behind my back, greatly appreciated. =P But, I wish all the potentials as much luck as me and hopefully, my bribes were sucessful. : o

Shit sorry RED i could have sworn i posted here as soon as the update was posted, meh, thanks anyway.

I do however agree with Bob (Denvish), there is a few wasted spaces on that list, BVBG, TRA for instance, they havent posted in the Wi/Ht? forum regularly for ages, i feel we should kick them but I cant do it myself. Im not urging people to vote them out, not at all. I just want people to use common sense while voting.

Response to Wi/Ht Members Vs. Mods 2005-01-22 10:32:03


I guess I should post a quick follow-up to that twat FLiXD's post... I was not in any way trying to influence voting against Alkador, or have a dig at the fact that Kiba got elected. I was just hoping to make people have a careful look at the criteria on which they base their votes. It's been interesting to read the comments, I particularly enjoyed the 'confused Myst' bits, lol, sorry, didn't mean to confuddle your cranial synapses.

Had a quick email chat with RC today, and he's pointed out some valid points re: more-than-once-monthly elections, which I'm sure he'll post soon. Good luck to all the potentials in the up-coming election.

I don't fully disagree with your proposals, twice a month may not hurt at all, but anything more would get crazy. And a slong as someone has to be voted out, then the list won't ever grow al lthat large and all members must agree to not get upset if they have been around and got voted off. It may just be that they werent around as often, but have a really good chance of getting back two weeks later. Ithink you catch my drift.

Anyway, looking forward ro RC posting his thoughts.

Response to Wi/Ht Members Vs. Mods 2005-01-22 10:48:40


I think 3 times a month would be too much work for RC. Asking people to vote 3 times is alot of emailing and the list would change alot with new people coming to the forum, for about a month then leaving, this would result in users who aren't all that regular making the list,

I wonder who's going to be in that list. :O

Indeed.

Thanks EK =)

Not true. The people above you could...oh, I don't know..."dissapear"...with a little bribe of some sort...

hah i'll hopefully not fall behind this rank any time soon, and hopefull break 30,000 really soon as well

Damn, you are extremely close to 30,000. That's great man! Just a few more posts, bp's, exp points, and reviews here and there, and you are as good a gold! What? You can't review? OH SNAP!!!

thanks for the update RC ;D

No problem Mikey

Couldn't have summed it up better.

Alkador meets the second one, but I certainly wouldn't say he's the top choice for #1. Going by this and previous elections, it seems that I may be the only one who feels this way....

I felt the same way last election.

Also, in terms of the OUT vote, I really wish that people would use their votes to cut out the dead wood.

Dead. wood. Here is some interesting facts about dead wood.

First, the date and time column you see is the time of their last post in the Where is/How to? forum. (I did this around 6am)

The second number is the number of posts that person made in Wi/Ht? since Jan 1st 12:00am.

The third number is the number of posts that person made in all of the NG BBS since Jan 1st 12:00am.

This list is ordered by the number of posts since Jan 1st 12:00am.

This list is NOT intended to show ANYTHING other than (ir)regularity in posting habits since The beginning of the new year.

There are at least 2 people on the Regulars list who simply do not belong there now - they're not regular, and thus they're not helpful.

Make that 3.

What's the point of having a Regulars list if it includes people who haven't been Wi/Ht Regulars for 2+ months?

There is no point Bob. I'm glad you spoke up about this. Thanks man.

That's part of the reason that I encouraged RC to do the tri-monthly updates - I was kind of hoping that the elections could be that often as well - since I personally think this should be a much more dynamic list than the other ones.

Well, I didn't know that was your original intention, so that comes as a bit of a shock, but I can understand your view on the matter. It seems that the Regulars need to be a bit more aware of the people they are co-listed with. Having more elections won't solve the problem if the Regulars aren't taking a look around in the first place.

That's my two-penneth anyway, take it or leave it.

I'll take it. Very insightful stuff there, and I appreciate your input on the matter.

And i post too much MARCUS? : P

I think that list the you just posted RC is a perfect way to show who is regular and who is not when a new vote is coming about. That should be done everytime. In my opinion.

Maybe even do the same for the potentials as well. To show how 'regular' they are and then the voters can deside how helpful they are and even off their voting decision based on those two ideas.

I just don't spam, that's all. Or, at least, I try not to spam. I try to post at least once in the Lounge every day, but if you want to vote me out as a regular, that's fine by me. I won't hold it against any of you.

By Bonus/KIBA's list, I make most of my posts in here nowadays, only ever posting in Politics other than here.

If any of that post didn't make sense, don't blame me. Blame the Grolsch.

I like how you added the percentages, thought, just because someone only posts here doesn;t mean that they have posted more then the others, obviously. It is a nice things to see, but if it was me, wouldn't effect my vote.

I don't think you were 1 of 3 they meant. Plus, i have seen you around plenty, so i wouldn't worry. Just check in once a day like you do. If that eventually doesn; become enough then then you may be retired, but right now you seem regular to me.

Plus, i 've noticed you being helpful a few times. I think you deserve to be there fine over some other ppl.

Posting stats

I personally don't think that to be a regular here, the majority of your posts have to be in this forum (which was the inference I got from your post). One of the nice things about this forum is that it's slow moving, so sometimes there's not that much to say here without being spammy or overly chatty. So, just because someone has 50% of their posts in here, doesn't necessarily make them a better reg than someone who only has 20% here (especially if they have a larger number of posts overall...)

Personally, I think that fortnightly updates is unnecessary. At the moment there seems to have been a period of transition in Wi/Ht, with people coming and going, but certainly a few months ago there would have been a period where nobody new deserved to be elected within a fortnightly period, and nobody deserved to be kicked off. You'd then end up adding people who weren't really THAT regular, just for the sake of having an election. I reckon that'd defeat the purpose of the regs list (which at the end of the day, is only a bit of fun and not a matter of life or death).

Everybody seems to be trying to get in their two pence - and that was mine!

Well, hmm, that could be a good point if the place did not have any newcomers. Right now there are plenty. However, if it were empty-ish with newcomers then you could just have it so ppl can vote for no one to come on and just someone to go on... not sure, but either way if no newcomers are worthy, i don;t thin kthere would even be a vote, because regulars would complai nto RC and Rc would scrap it until the next voting or something. Good thoughts though.

I mentioned your name, because you arent a regular, which is sad, however, your not the worst by anymeans.

Nope, you got it bang on.
