Like the United States, EnMasse has elections to happen in 2012. The nominations for global moderator are officially open, and will remain so until 11:59PM Pacific Time on February 27th. _________________ This is pre-eminently the time, to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly.

I intend to stand for re-election. _________________ This is pre-eminently the time, to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself-Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Thus ends months of speculation. But will you stop the gravy boat?
I will end the gravy boat. Now I dare any opponents who declare to take my lead! _________________ This is pre-eminently the time, to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself-Franklin Delano Roosevelt
I happen to like the gravy boat, in fact I will only vote for those candidates who promise to extend and expand it! _________________ I can't support bike lanes.

I'll not only vote for the candidate who promises to bring an end to all religious influence in our passionate atheist thread, but if they make good on that promise, I pledge to wash and dry their feet with my hair. It's a buzz cut, so whenever there's no need to hurry.

I know this is likely the result of still being relatively wet behind the ears in terms of the board, but is there a difference between global moderator, and say, an average everyday run of the mill moderator, or is it just title used to cover everyone identified as a moderator?

Back in the days of yore, when there was a lot of conflict (and a lot more posting) it was thought to be a good idea to have forum moderators as well as "global" moderators. But no special forum moderation is needed because practically no moderation is needed overall. The one really exciting thing we do a lot of is delete spambot registrations.
You're standing in the way of progress. Besides, someone will still have to maintain the delete-bot. _________________ ø¤°`°¤ø,¸_¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸_¸,ø¤°°¤ø,¸_¸,ø¤°°¤ø,
inspired by my mother, a woman who can apparently hold a grudge:
a few years ago she was lamenting complaining that customer service for her bank was all "in toronto" (strange, as frankly my bro/sis-in-law took care of all her banking). So i suggested she move her business to the local credit union. "oh, no" she replied, "they turned your dad and i down for a loan". really, ma? when was that exactly, 1952?

Well into the 90s, my grandfather wouldn't vote Conservative because Bennett had rolled back his wages when my grandfather was beginning his civil service career.

Hi everybody. If there are no objections, I will toss my hat into the ring late for the third moderator slot. _________________ "Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear." - Thomas Jefferson
I, for one, continue to welcome TS as an overlord.

So clearly this election is generating tons of excitement and controversy! Anyway, I've set up the vote, it'll start tomorrow night. Vote early, vote often.
I received a rude PM from "PetePoutine42" telling me that the polling will take place via carrier pigeon instead of in the EnMasse Voting Centre. Is this true?

Been awhile since I voted for anything. It was exhilarating actually for the entire split second that it took. I almost begin to see what people get out of it in other circumstances.

If there is such a thing as a hierarchy that comes out of this, it would be kinda useful to know who to bow the lowest before. _________________ There is this old notion, Bolshevik, a little frigid for sure; the building of the Party.

well we may be few but we're loyal! with the exception of slumberjack, all the voters have been here since the begining.
I'll just assume the issue here is with punctuation. _________________ There is this old notion, Bolshevik, a little frigid for sure; the building of the Party. I think that our present war is about giving new content to this depopulated fiction.

The punctuation's OK, the problem is with capitalization.
