CinnamonStar Posted December 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Are you guys just picking people you like and placing them in random slots? ...Yeah.=) Some are being honest but many just follow their friends list. As for the nomination part' date=' there were attempts to imply such a system but it always failed. Too long, the Awards just dragged on and at a point people forgot about nominating AND voting. The council inbetween stuff would be an idea though but then we'd need a bigger council. Really big one.:?Also, we'll have to make it just a partial influence so that the council just takes out the votes that make absolutely no sense (like people who have never done anything for a section) but tries to keep as much as possible.[/quote'] Meh slow-ass computer keeps loading only one page at a time.:/ We'll keep it here' date=' yeah.

Tempest Dahlia Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 @Brushfire.Take my say, then. Despite me joining in july i've been here a long time (Long story... XD).I've known most of the popular members. And they weren't bad...But at the same time, they're still banned. And banned members should not even be recognized until they come back. And certainly not for an award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether you believe their banning is just or not does not matter. The fact remains that they are banned. This decision wasn't solely made by me, we came to this conclusion as a whole. You seem to be using the logic that they are banned justly and what they have done for the forum in the past does not matter. You are wrong. Don't use "they are banned" as a complete rebuttal, it's pathetic. Your time on this forum does matter to this subject, so saying it doesn't is a foolish move on your part. The reason is matters is that you weren't here while they weren't banned, so just as the members that aren't banned now can win awards, they could've won awards then too. The fact that they are banned doesn't change what they've done in the past- you need to realise that. As for you mentioning them being just or not- what about members who were banned and proved that their bannings were not just, such as myself? Am I banned from receiving awards? The answer is no, so stop using "they are banned" as an excuse for them not being worthy of anything. Then don't speak as their spokesperson. I'm not talking to the Council as a whole, but you for saying what you did. @Brushfire.Take my say' date=' then. Despite me joining in july i've been here a long time (Long story...

Tempest Dahlia Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Can't even have a decent conversation... *breathes deeply* ... lnstead of flaming, l'll just say this:Go ahead. Vote for a banned member. Just know that you vote simply won't be counted. You can argue this until you are purple, but you are powerless against that. And for me to get mad at such immature comments would be stupid. @Muluck, let him rant. He won't win, so just leave him be. Or this could turn out to be a terrible award ceremony.

Muluck Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Brushfire I can see that you are upset at this issue, and insulting myself or anyone else just shows why this issue is highly flamable-for lack of a better term-. But "they" being the members that are banned, were banned for breaking rules. Rules that which are set so that members can prove that they want to be here while acting mature enough to be distinguished as fellow rules abiding members. Those are banned clearly showed that they are not, and while you as a person feel that their banning might be unjust, it still does not succeed the fact that they were not able to change the rulings of the Staff. It is of this fact, that any banned member cannot be voted for an award. As a safe precaution I won't reply to this subject publicly any longer.

CinnamonStar Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 You were the first choice we agreed on but then you left.:3 I don't recall leaving after applying. I haven't left since my 2 month break... o.O Well you had that talkshow running and it really sounded as if you half-left.:o Someone could take over it because you will be mostly on your site. (Well now you're around but not when we picked the people.:)) As for the banning issue' date=' jeez I don't get the whole ruckus about it. ._. It doesn't count for short bans like 100% warns, that's another story.As for any longer ban, especially perma's, like Muluck said it's mostly the fact that rules were broken severely and these people have shown that they don't want to stay on the site/don't meet the few (simple) things that are expected about conduct. I mean, usually if you get a 3 months on your ass you must have done something bad enough, it's not like a 3 days spam ban.:? That doesn't mean that these people never did good in the past. Well most of them did but their time is up, simple as that. That's not what the Awards are meant to be about, rewarding someone who did something bad enough to get banned and clearly didn't live up to the conduct rules. Another thing is that there's nothing to reward them for in an event that is about the [u']past few months[/u] (mostly the last Awards to now). I mean, what should we give them if they haven't been here lately to contribute anyway? About Draco and graphics, yeah there's this. He had plenty of time to win Awards for his GFX while he was here. Now not anymore. Well tough beans.:)On that note, people who haven't logged in for a year won't be counted either.;) Or this could turn out to be a terrible award ceremony. Yeah that'd just prove some things...We kinda put into effort into this, I don't want this to be spoiled again because it's YCM.-.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
