Of course you are allowed to vote. I don't know why they didn't PM you confirming your vote. Maybe just an oversight. You could PM Fat Middle and ask.

Thanks SGH, I did just that.

Nurvi - they did get your vote. See the 'Messages' thread!

Yep... the ole 'boxy-box'!

I Have a question for everyone who is running (bit late i know, especially as i have already voted!)

What is your position on children of entmoot, do you think they should be allowed to participate on ALL threads, etc?

*shakes off mud*

This board has a PG-13 rating. There's no reason why anyone would be prevented from participating. I would assume that if the member was under 13, that her/his parent(s) were aware of the rating and had already given approval.

[EDIT]oooh.. this is my 5656th post.

I thought this site had mostly pre-teens and teens as their fan base. I also saw no problem with that. This is an everybody friendly board.

Your PM box was full - just like mine. There was a message in the message thread.

This is been a friendly public service announcement from the Jonathan support team.

Vote Jonathan - a mooter who cares

Oh, no.. I didn't think that was what you were saying.

I'm not sure about that Lizra. I think that tomorrow is the last day to vote and then it will take them a couple of days to count the votes. I think, but FM could tell you better tomorrow.

Just like an admin to be unprepared. You would think that they would be keeping track of the votes as they come in. That way they wouldn't need to count them all at once and don't have to waste several days counting.

Oh be quiet. What do you know about it? I am not prepared to give an accurate answer to this because in the interest of fairness to the other candidates, I am not privy to what is going on with the electoral college. So there.

yeah right. As an admin - we know you have inside information.

That is where you are wrong. You seem to think that because I am an admin, that makes me dishonest. The election has been conducted completely fair and square.

And btw, I just would like to point out that as an admin, I am more capable of doing more for the mooters if I become president than any of the other candidates. I expect the Jonathan team to turn this statement into an attempt at bribery. It's not.

But you represent the interests of the admins. I think it would be better for the mooters to have someone to go to and then they can bring things up to the admins.

No, I do not represent the interests of the admins. I represent the interests of Entmoot. What is best for the community and its members.

I just think that a mooter would be better to represent the interests of other mooters. You have conflicting interests.

What conflicting interests? Have I not always tried to assist the mooters, including yourself? Did I not help you and Jonathan get the sub forum? Have I not even defended mooters to the staff when I thought they were right?

How do I have conflicting interests?

Becuase you have to answer first to the admins, second to the mooters. Jonathan only has one loyalty and that is to his fellow mooters.

Actually Ben is the highest authority. We have to answer to him. Thanks for all the credit. You remind me of those people that don't like the police, but when you are in trouble or need help, they are the first ones you call.

I'm not saying I don't like you or the help. I love the twist on words you do though and the accusations. I'm just saying I think that Jonathan represents the interests of the mooters more. He's closer to their problems. It's basically the same concept as why congressmen are rarely elected as president. They're considered Washington insiders and part of the "problem". Most presidents were governors and are closer to the people. A governor is more likely to be elected than a Senator or Representative.

But basically let's get this out in the open - you won't do anything more than what you already do. So wouldn't we want an ADDITIONAL person on our side?
