I know who that feels, had to take 2 weeks of work so I can do my exams, I'll barely survive. Cans on beans morning, noon & night for me. And at least you'll have a working car by the end of it.

Slightly different, I already pay for all my food etc from a standing order to my mother (bless her). I just don't have any money for me now, which really sucks, because I'm spending shitloads on my credit card and the bill is due in about a week... by the time this cheque clears, I'll be about £100 - £150 short (almost a week's wages)

Did you receive an admission that your bans were in error and/or an apology? Mistakes do happen, yes, but saying that they do is not a valid defense unless it's actually accompanied by an attempt to make up for past mistakes and ensure that future mistakes won't happen. (Which, I might add, is something that should probably be said to those who banned you rather than you, of course.)

No, because the moderators are adamant that they are right. I argued both cases with RedCircle and JoS respectively, neither of which caused my ban to become shorter (or longer, might I add) and I left it there.

In any case, metamoderation would still be helpful.

Maybe there is a case of metamoderation, but it is just not publicised, so that Tom and Wade don't get spammed with PMs about poor moderation on top of everything else they deal with.

Well, I'm not the type of person to do that. I will vote for people I feel deserve it, rather than my friends, who may not deserve it. It's the fact that we cannot re-iterate enough, that you don't have to use all of your votes.

I have the sinking feeling people will continue to vote for who they like, not who's the most deserving. Really turns my stomach. Stick around bud and I'll vote for you. I'm not blind to what's going on despite my decreased attendance. ^_~

Isn't the whole point of an election that people can vote for whoever they want, based on whatever criteria they choose? If you want deserving candidates rather than ones that are popular or have friends in the right places, then hold a debate, not an election, and have an impartial judge appoint people after the debate based on the arguments heard.

(That being said, I have the distinct feeling that when one starts to hold elections for regulars on a forum on the BBS of a site dedicated to flash animations and games on the Internet, it's a surefire sign that one needs to get out a bit more. c.c)

You should've complained about them.

Maybe there is a case of metamoderation, but it is just not publicised, so that Tom and Wade don't get spammed with PMs about poor moderation on top of everything else they deal with.

Actually, the whole point of a metamoderation system would be that it wouldn't be necessary anymore to PM Tom or Wade to complain about abuses of the moderation system (just like the moderation system means it's not necessary for them to personally read every BBS post).

actually it's Britain's and not England's, a lot of people here would get annoyed if you called them English. also, do you really want the North back??If so, why??

I'm Irish BTW

yeah i kinda figured.

I know, the majority of Northern Irish people would clash themselves as english bout 60%
They would be the protestant people, or Unionists
And 30% of the people would rather if Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland were one, like they use to be. These people are mainly catholic.
The other 10% are a mixture of Catholic and Protestant that don't mind it either way.

The main reason the Republicans want the country to be united again, is because of the great history of suffering and tyranny the english kings and queens put upon the Irish people.
It's kinda a strange cause though, because Northern Ireland costs so much to the English government, and would be a great burden to anyone who controls it.

I actually couldn't care less what happens about the ownership of the country, as long as there is peace, which, more than ever seems to be possible.

You're absolutely right. Can't argue with you there. Still, I wish some of the voters would've used a little more forethought before making their decisions.

If you want deserving candidates rather than ones that are popular or have friends in the right places, then hold a debate, not an election, and have an impartial judge appoint people after the debate based on the arguments heard.

First of all schneelocke, my comment was directed towards BlueHippo, not you. Secondly, I consulted with Afro_Stud on how the election should be handled this time around, and although we figured a situation like this might arise we still proceeded. Regardless of my discontent with the voting results I still think the election turned out pretty good.

(That being said, I have the distinct feeling that when one starts to hold elections for regulars on a forum on the BBS of a site dedicated to flash animations and games on the Internet, it's a surefire sign that one needs to get out a bit more. c.c)

This part of your post kills me. I can't count how many times I've mentioned in the past that 90% of my online time is spent at work. How much of your free time is spent in front of the computer schneelocke? As for holding the Wi/Ht? elections, they've been going on long before your arrogant ass showed up and I doubt that's going to change in the near future. I'm just surprised you haven't launched into another one of your pathetic rants about the experience system. The receptionist here was right about you. I just can't believe I defended you all this time. I honestly hope you refuse your chance at Wi/Ht? membership if you're ever voted in. If you don't, I'll be removing my own membership number at the first opportunity. I'd also appreciate it if you wouldn't respond to my posts anymore. Offer me this small courtesy and you can be sure I'll return the favor.

New milestone. 32,000 protection points

No real change there for me. I did take my girlfriend out to see Spidey 3 the other night, but that was only about £15-20 for the entire night, petrol included. My car was in for work yesterday and they kept it overnight because they were waiting for a part. I got a lift to the Gym from my mum, but then I walked to my girlfriend's (3.5 miles in the rain, along the canal towpath), stopped for a few hours and then walked home (road way, so slightly longer). I have a nasty blister on my toe, but other than that, I'll be very pleased to get my car back this evening.

Actually, the whole point of a metamoderation system would be that it wouldn't be necessary anymore to PM Tom or Wade to complain about abuses of the moderation system (just like the moderation system means it's not necessary for them to personally read every BBS post).

So if they get a certain number of complaints, the case file presents itself for the admins to decide upon in their own way?

Trust me, I am English. Britain is a false statement. As far as I'm concerned the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish can break away and govern themselves. They only cost us money at the moment. That way the huge wad of taxes the government gets from London can be spent on projects in England.

I get pissed off with two groups: the BNP, which are just a bunch of racist bigots and peopel who won't allow me to call myself English, because it's apparently racist.

I am agnostic, trust me on this one.

Well I'd love a car because I've gotta pay for buses halfway across the country cause of college. And my saint of a mother drives me half an hour to my work every Sat and Sunday at 7:00 AM. I need a car for her sake even.

I was born in England, my Dad was a Catholic born in Belfast. I spent most of my life living in Ireland, what my previous post said is the truth, no matter what anyone else says

breaking away would suit me fine. As long as we don;t join the republic of Ireland, then I'm happy.

Hmm... got my 2nd star today. It's kind of odd, because it feels like only yesterday I was climbing the B/P ranks, and now I only really B/P for my daily 10 EXP. Oh how priorities change. This B/P level up puts me into the top 150 VP list too I think, I'll have to wait for the next update. Go me, I guess.
