Hey Elba. You know, I'd really appreciate if you would stop spamming the queue. The Design Staff did nothing to you and it's really unfair to make them go through that when your problem is with someone else. I'm sorry, but if you spam the queue again, I'm suspending you.

Can someone in the design staff area with expertise handle the organization of the "______ of the month contest". Add to the first post -- the definition of a nomination. The nomination/voting at the same time method was succeeded by the nomination (first half of month)/voting (second half of month) method in last months' contest.

Let me break it down for you... The nomination only topic should be created for each contest that is still remaining here at createblog. The nomination topic should include the rules, one of which should mention that a website only has to be nominated once, to be nominated. This contest is much like any nomination based contest. Such as the MLB Hall-of-Fame, MTV's VMA, or createblog's member of the month. It's redundant and pointless for someone to second a nomination in such a contest. When half of the month has elapsed for each individual "_____ of the month contest" a voting only topic should be made for each respectively. Outlining the same rules of the succeeded contest. Though, with the biggest change from previous months, you cannot vote for a website that was not nominated in the first half of the month. For example, Britney Spears could not win a MTV's 2008 VMA for Best Music Video for Lucky because that music video was not nominated.

Spencer, you've been here long enough to know that an hour passing before responding to someone's post isn't "avoiding." Also, you are fully aware that you guys were spamming and Dee has said she PM'd both of you.

i've also been here long enough to know that warning comes with a pm as to why. i've also been here long enough to know that if someone posts STOP in a topic, it's probably not going to be seen. a pm is helpful. you can't say stop and then once another topic pops up, warn us, especially if were not checking back. as far as spam, ha. that's not what i would call it until after we were warned. how is it that yanlin did the exact same thing, but probably received no punishment? is it weird to know that i told her to post those topics, yet every single one still exists? consistency, much?

If I am fault for anything, it's for being too lienent.

Said member must be notified of this increase in warning level by means of a PM.

Make sure that you always fill in the reason you are warning a member.
Always send the member a PM, clearly stating why you are warning them.

You made three more topics. Then, you made 11 more after I warned you.

The only problem with that is the people that participate in these contests tend to always jump on the bandwagon. The nomination/voting method was one of the ways to tackle that. And so no winner can be established on the second day just because 10 people came in the topic, they don't have anything to nominate themselves, so they just go with one of the current nominations, and you'll start to see "i'll second that, third that, fourth, etc, etc."

The only problem with that is the people that participate in these contests tend to always jump on the bandwagon.

i got warned for telling someone (KC, i think?) that they sucked for spamming; i disagree with this sensitivity and substitute legitimacy and or justice with prejudice and jackassery. Jpohnhnnancvanhon warned me; go figure.

p.s. ahhckck.

Actually you insulted Kevin, and he expressed his discontent about how you acted, and so I warned you.

Are you just mad that you aren't a mod anymore and you were 20 and still in high school? Hop the f**k off you Dave Grohl wanna be. Imma rock star, my band makes sissy ass records about sitting around the campfire and f**king telling Barney stories. I don't have to kiss anybody's ass. Somebody complained about something and I addressed it. Is that not what I am supposed to do? Stop trying to act like you are some big bad wolf and just fall the f**k back. You got warned and bitched about it, so I said that I would lower the warning. If you wanted to make it a big deal and prove a point, then you should have addressed it via pm or through another outlet. Issue closed.

I'm gonna have to side w/ Nate on this one. Stupid warning, no matter how annoying he is to y'all. Everyone else bashes, he's just a disliked target and y'all were biased in this warn.
