A bunch of Carnies and rubes from red states voting for what TMZ and Entertainment tonight told you to vote for.
The EE/Thurm ticket stands for much more than that.

you guys stand for nothing more than trying to get rid of those who don't kiss up to EE. Nothing more-nothing less. EE only wants to hurt the zone not help it in any way
Don't worry Thurm, I don't think The PC Times will persuade voters.
I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!
You have no idea how much I enjoy reading every single one of your posts Thurm

I'm gonna go with the person/staff who have already worked to get things done.
Did EE help get you that Buffalo forum? Did EE help with anything in the past 6 months?
He certainly did Rockstar... he helped make this place even better and more peaceful by not being around.
The only thing EE stands for is being a whiny female dog.
"I don't want a Fin Fan being a moderator so I'm going to leave as if anyone's going to miss me and hope that they'll see my worthless point."
The only candidate capable of making any changes is MBB anyway. He's the only one that isn't always looking for a fight.
Yes I keep hearing this, yet never see anything of substance. Care to elaborate?
http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...d.php?t=148878Please note that when I say moderators, I mean admins too.
How would you encourage a spirit of respectful debate amongst BillsZone posters?
Moderators should be more like moderators on TV and radio. They should participate in conversations and steer them the right way. There is little positive participation, there is just ham handed, inane moderation. They also pick and choose who to moderate. There is no consistent standard that is applied across the board. If you really want to improve the boards, you must improve the moderation so more people feel welcome.
What steps would you take to encourage more traffic in the BillsZone forum, especially during the offseason?
I always hear (but don't really believe) that the front page is sooooo heavilly traveled. Well, what better advertising do you need? Some of the better threads and posts should make it to the front page so that front page lurkers know that there is real football talk going on in here.
What steps would you take if posters were resorting to flaming or personal attacks in their posts?
People forget that one of the main reasons this place started in the first place was the inane, ham handed moderation at the old place. It was REDICULOUS. When this site first started, nothing was removed or edited by moderators, it was just thrown into the Spam Zone. I thought that was a really good idea. If your stuff kept getting thrown in the garbage, in a place where everyone can see that it was thrown into the garbage, you would eventually get the point. Part of the problem now is that stuff gets removed before everyone gets to see it. People who don't see the removed stuff don't know what happened, and they obviously can't learn from it. Once people get the hang of what gets them thrown into the Spam Zone, they will either adapt or leave.
Briefly describe what you believe is the appropriate way to moderate the BillsZone forum. For example, do you believe that moderators should play an active role in discussions and actively "police" the forum, or should they take a more hands-off approach and only take action if a post is reported?
Mods should play an active, positive participative role. The problem is that you have a lot of mods who don't have anything to say that adds any value. Some even make things worse. I truly believe that there is a lot of addition by subtraction that could be done here, and my objective evaluation of the entire staff is something that is sorely needed, if you guys really give a rat's ass about making this place better. Based on the venom I have already received by some of the exiswting staff (including some I have no beef with), I wonder if improvement is really wanted. Perhaps this is just their little plaything, and the rest of us are just "allowed" here at their whimsy.
Thurm, what is your stance on fraud?
Outstanding question indeed
I think it should be dealt with by striking the votes from record just like it was earlier today.
Well, say goodbye to a chunk of your votes.
