maybe warnings/suspension would be a better title?

Moderators nominate people they want for any category, no matter their category.

instead of category, staff position would be a better word choice.

There is no minimum of nominations we must have, but the maximum for each separate category is 10.

so what happens when there are more than ten nominations, which is totally probably considering any staff member can nominate anyone? i mentioned this some time ago.. this 10 limit doesnt serve any purpose, since the number 10 was the limit set by the maximum number of poll choices. however, it was later agreed that the polling system will not work for "voting in" the new moderators.

Once all the nominations are said and done, polls are made for each category with the nominations.

again, no polls will be made, since the forum software polling system does not let you select multiple choices, therefore, you will only be able to vote for one staff member, no matter how many you think is qualified!

i feel like we're going in circles here. i mentioned the two above in backstage, yet nothing was modified / deleted / added!
