Should we have a primary and a general election? Then no one will win with 20% or something. We could narrow it down to the top two and have another election. This could be a repeating event. FUN!

Do we need fractioning of the 'Moot? I say 'no'. Let us all welcome the Newbie as one unit, all equal, standing together, side by side, with hopeful faces... awaiting, in anticipation, the new member, who surely has something wonderous to add to our happy and harmonious community.

Oh, Finrod, sorry about "stealing" your idea and stuff, but I had been welcoming newbies myself via pm for a while now...

He didn't know FF was doing the same thing, so where's the harm in that? They both thought of the idea independently.
As for what kind of president Hector would make, he would be kindhearted, fair, polite, and intelligent.

Probably musical as well. If you haven't already, Hector, you should compose a campaigning theme and link to it in your sig or the thread. Or make some evil dirge to post in case someone else is elected.
In any case I half expect you to do it because you're cool like that. It'd be a good and presidential quality also.

I realize we all need to welcome newbies, but if everyone was to say, PM them (yes, Hector's idea) that'd be a darn lot of PMs, I mean certain people could be assigned to the task, everyone would be welcome to do so, but a few would always be ding so.

I do of course realize that as well, but certain people assigned to certain tasks would make certain thing easier...certainly!

Isn't this more efficient than having a member assigned to PM the Newbie? Another point about PM'ing the new member with help is that there are actually threads that provide some of the help that is initially asked of many new members (ie, 'how do I find/make/upload avatars', 'how do I post a link or img', etc.). When we post information in the threads, it provides that information to all new members and not just one. It's more efficient, and it allows the more seasoned members here a chance to pass on their knowledge to a new group of 'Mooters. |

A President should be always ready for mooting! Now, seriously, the first debate will begin today or tomorrow. When Tessar decides (he'll moderate it). But there will be more debates and this one will last for several days, so I don't think it's a problem if Jonathan begins a bit later.
