LJ elections.

I don't really want to start talking about it, but I'm starting to feel affected by it the more I see of it. Which is inevitable, so I might as well give my own view.

Personally, I'm in fandom. I'm in lots of fandoms.

I'm hoping that even if the candidate isn't in fandom, s/he would understand that ridding LJ of fandom and people ( Read more... )

eljay, politics, srs stuff

GOT IT. THANKS FOR THE INFO :D ♥!

and i thought i love LJ so much. some users just enjoy making everything fucked up huh -.- (referring to people bashing on fandoms & free accounts)

unless, like you mentioned, they want majority of LJ's users to go off. and then close down. or crawl back pleading & begging us to go back.

ew gross behaviour Dx

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ D:

I know. It's stupid. If they end up voting for the wrong person, and it screws everything up, LJ is going to realize they made a big mistake.

But it's nice that they're actually wanting our opinion, by this election. Even so, it's not going to be easy, and there's going to be alot of people hurt.

Vote. :3

There are some rumors going around that the LJ teams are worried that jameth might actually get in. xD

Thank you very much! :D

I COULD NOT AGREE MORE. x3333333333333
also, I've spent the morning (becuase I have no life) checking out the other candidates and halisheglishjesusfuckingchrist some of these people weren't screeneeeeeeeed

jameth makes me sick, mentally and physically.

And there is some crazy threat-making schtick going down at cambler's journal which I can hardly fathom, but the point is, he's withdrawn his candidacy. It's all gone a bit...well, a lot mad.

Your post made me get off my butt and do this. xD I blame you.

omfg. They weren't screened? What the hell? This isn't supposed to be some fucked up popularity contest :c

Agreed. I don't know how he sleeps at night.

yeah, I don't get what's happening with him. But he's been accused of using sexualized women in his campaigns, and he doesn't even post POSTS in his journal. But yeah, point is, he's withdrawn and I'm oh so thankful.

Not that he would have ever won/we would allow him to win.

Wahahah. I always cop the blame. :'D

I think (and this is vague, but I think) to be a candidate, all they had to do was get 100 people to nominate them...which reeks of popularity contest to me.

Exactly, and he knows he had no chance of winning anyway.

Yeah, you nominate yourself, and at least 100 people has to support you. But I'm pretty sure that they aren't the only people who has 100 people's support..? :/

Maybe they couldn't deny even jameth a place because he had so many supporters.

i kindareallydon't like jameth from his posts & comments. 8|
rm sounds good.
thanks for the post, ria. you actually made me think.
who did/will you vote for?

avenue May 28 2008, 04:19:02 UTC
If you liked him, then I don't think we can be friends anymore.

She does.
Please think about it.
I voted for rm, legomymalfoy and vichan.

I never planned on voting, but I had to. Just so that I have a right to complain later on. xd

windblownglass May 28 2008, 04:24:42 UTC
he scares me.

i voted that too, in the same order.
and, yeah, i know. XD;

avenue May 28 2008, 04:35:34 UTC
Wait, you should actually do rm second. I changed my vote.
Because jameth is getting a big chunk of the 1st vote. It'll take A LOT for Legomymalfoy to get 51%. Thus, they'll probably end up switching to the 2nd vote, which is currently being dominated by rm.

I haven't been paying that much attention to the elections because I haven't had the time/attention span to read through all the candidates' so thanks for the quick summary. I'll definitely look through everyone and take part in the vote. :)
