I had an idea

[RockStar36]

But it does reward for each post and to the author of a thread for each reply, does it not? Also what total worth does it give you? Most things like titles and avatars are changed by admins or mods if asked for, is it being suggested that we stop giving favors to posters who ask for them now? I dont see ZB's as a huge incentive to post more.

I've never been a big fan of just changing things for people at request. It defeats the whole purpose of ZB's. ZB's are fun. I like betting.

I'm dead serious. We have a mod and a key member of the LA Playa campaign using a defamatory and highly pompous term like "spending countless hours posting." Bedard for sure never alienates the scores of contributors who value their posts.

I still dont understand your accusation against me, as I said Im not sure and still dont know if Bedard was aware of how the ZB system currently works. I simply pointed that out. What exactly are you alleging?

Saying "spending countless hours posting" reeks of arrogance.

You have never bought me a beer.

You so sure? Remember that real ugly blonde that bought you one a few months back.....That wasn't a girl.

I do too, but what purpose do they serve that we can use to further site? I mean changing things just to change them is one thing, but this about bettering the zone not just adding news things for the heck of it. I mean personally Im looking for concrete ideas that address real changes not small stuff like this. That's all Im saying unless this is a small piece of a bigger plan. Bedard is this a small piece of a bigger plan?

DB, when did you become a candidate?

Im sorry thats your interpretation of it, but a lot of people do spend hours on the site reading and writing and having a good time. I dont think its arrogant to point that out to those running for office. I guess you do, but to each his own I suppose.

DB, when did you become a candidate?

Well I was first elected to office in 2004 if thats what your asking.

Yes, of course. Because that's relevant to this discussion.

What changes does your team have in store?

Also, since many of you are mods/admins, how come no "concrete ideas that address real changes" have happened in a long time?

[DraftBoy]

You asked when I became a candidate, my first year of being a candidate was 2004, you know I work in politics I cant distinguish which election and in what year you are speaking of. If you mean this one then simply state it, so its clear to all parties.

I really wish we could go a day without hearing about that. It means absolutely nothing to this fake internet election.

Your constant spin is getting boring.

Where is the actual candidate?

That's actually the first Ive ever mentioned in this thread that I was a previously elected official. Other times have been about my work as a lobbyist or governmental affairs specialist. It also has a lot to do with this internet election and this message board on a daily basis.

Its not my job to entertain you, Im sorry if I bore you I guess.

[Dude]

So, back to MBB's great idea for improving the Zone ...

How about new games in the arcade?

I agree. He wants "real changes" while his candidate offered none and his team has the authority to institute them, but has failed to ever deliver any.

We have no more authority than any other admin or mod. Every idea is put up to the entire staff nobody hold a monopoly on the power. If your going to blame any staff members you have to blame all.

It honestly means nothing when it comes to the message board. Well, almost nothing. Real politics give me a headache and you're doing a pretty good job of that.
