how would yo do the voting so that people dont vote more than one time?

There are voting sites that only allow you to vote once. They either go by your IP address or you have to register for their site.

I would be more then happy to assist in the O/T section since lately that is where I have been spending most of my time.

Let me start by stating my feelings on my qualifications for this position on which threads I would close down.

1) Any threads started for the sole purpose and opinions regarding the use and/or non use of seatbelts.
2) Any thread advocating the use of any illegal substance as seen by USA definition, laws or standards
3) Any thread that becomes riddled with sexual overtones, statements, direct or indirect towards another PFF individual which in itself would not be permitted in a work environment without the chances of legal recourse.
4) Any thread to which an individual is being singled out for the sole purpose of "bashing, belittling, name calling, calling out" or for the sole purpose of starting a "flame war".
5) Any thread that is out of control based on communication with Cliff himself on things he wishes us to consider or the policies he would like to see enforced, even if it includes 30 page threads if idle banter, unless authorized by Cliff that if it brings cheer and laughter that it may continue and/or has a limit (this may effect the FieroLisa thread ... But we can't have our cake and eat it to).
6) Any thread that I may subsequently post in to alert any individuals that if things are not cooled down and/or the tone is not changed respectively to the opinion of the moderator as a common goal expected by Cliff as a pre-warning should they wish the thread to continue.
7) Any pornagraphic jokes, pictures, links involving adults, children, hamsters, chanchillas, etc.
8) Any thread advocating violence in any matter, shape and/or form.
9) Any thread advocating Taco Bell as the place to meet for a Fiero run...else it could end up being the "runs".
10) Any thread advocating the misuse of a Fiero (Sorry Aus! ).

I am at your complete disposal Cliff and would be willing to talk with you regarding ground rules and/or policies you wish to see enforced.

Would the moderators of a perticular forum be able to move a thread to another forum if someone posted it in the wrong place? We've been having way too many O/T threads in the Tech section.

I have to agree, the ability to move threads would be ideal. Also, the reason/reasons for closing a thread should be both

A) Documented

b) Based on Cliff's guidlines alone.

Ed, I get my ideas from the founding fathers of this great country (true genius's), but thanks for the compliments anyway. I agree with the 3 limit rule too, thats a good way to do it, then you won't have repeated closing/opening/closing/opening of threads. Possibly even direct impeachment/removal process.

It's all up in the air right now but I am anxious to see what Cliff thinks.

I know, I should have thought of the appeal thing, good job. But unfortunately, our country isn't modeled after our forefathers anymore. I guess it's neccessary though, times change and so do the rules. Right, there must be an immediate process to close some posts, but I agree, the repeated opening and closing of posts would be arduous and distracting. I hope my endorsement of you (if you want the job) won't harm your chances, but might. (Scratch, scratch, scratch)I know, from now on, I endorse Archie. Could you imagine if Archie was one of the moderators? It would be like Poland in 1939 all over again.

Black88GT JUL 05, 09:51 PM
This country still has the basis of what the founding fathers wanted. While we might have strayed away with tax policies and political parties we have atleast kept the basic form/principles intended.

I don't mind my endorsement, I could care less if people hate me for not hating you. I just wanted to stay neutral anyway since the matters in question didn't concern me, but if people think I am picking sides, oh well. And yes, Archie being moderator, well lets just say we might as well start discussing the basic principles of Communism rather then Democracy.

Actually, it's not totally a bad thing that we've strayed from the original writings of the Constitution. It (Bill of Rights) was written in 1787 and adopted in 1789. Think of what was going on back then; legalized slavery for another 75 years, informal slavery for another 40 or more past that. Women could not vote for more than 130 years past the adoption. Generally, only landowners were realistically allowed to vote. The idea of a 'fair trial' was so far away it's not funny, in fact, many people could successfully argue that we still don't have provisions for them. They did a good job though, considering what they had to work with. The one thing lacking then was the wording, 'privacy.' Remember, Miranda wasn't here till like 1967, and cops would use creative techniques when interrogating. Anyway, this is all a little too deep, thanks for not hating me! See ya, Ed.

Cliff I think it is great, and I cast my vote now for THEOGRE.
Cheever2 JUL 05, 11:18 PM
stimpy, theogre and Oreif could buy -I mean- would get my votes. Certain others too, but that's a start.
