Hold on lemme get my alts
/kidding
And that is why this would not work.
Oh, I see. You've decided in your head what is going to happen in the event that you actually went through with this based on some sort of image you have of the Bungie Community painted in your head ever since the t-shirt incident of a group of people who all take fun contests way too seriously and who all have access to an army of alts, and so you're scared of ever trying any sort of community-based voting system whether it be in the Mail Sacks or in this hypothetical Ninja election because of the fact that you're scared of looking bad as a Community Manager in the event that something that isn't your fault and happens as a result of one person's actions ever takes place again.
I see. Perfectly reasonable. I also like how you've pulled out a Deadliest Warrior-esque computer program to run simulations of this Ninjelection which has never happened before to come to such a concrete, obvious, and infallible solution. I'll be PMing you later about that program. I'm in debt to this guy, and I wanna see if that thing can pick the Lotto numbers.
Man, usually it helps to pause a moment and think about something before you post it.
What DeeJ is talking about is the Community's affinity for alts, and how quick they are to want to send them into action for any situation where they could be used, Ken awful picture fiasco as an example. Not to mention, the first person to mention 'getting his alts' is the one who insisted up and down he never used any, and was unaware that any were being used. If he could muster up hundreds of alts, who's to say that groups like FT aren't going to all out when it comes to picking a forum mod? This is far from an honest, reputable community. DeeJ has every right to say what he did. Thats highly presumptuous to say that people would use alts, and even if they did, that is why I'm in favor of Daz's idea of nominations done anonymously, with a limit on the nominations made per person. That way it doesn't matter if someone uses alts because once someone's nominated, they're nominated.
Even still, my post was mainly about DeeJ's apparent and irrational fear of letting us vote for stuff recently. So someone did something stupid once and he community reacted in kind. Big deal; move on.
