Yes! Ok I was thinking the vote being in an hour long or something so it could only hold 100 people due to the limit of how many can play at the same time. Anyway the voting still will be unfair! It would be a popularity contest then. Most people would vote for their friend or the one they know of the most when they might not be a good op/mod.

e.g. Bc and I have been chosen for the election. Bc is more popular then me so he gets more votes because of the popularity but might be a terrible op/mod. I am less popular and get less votes so I lose the election even though I would be a better op/mod then him.

And the voting was a waste of time.
Anyway dont you like it when they say who it is then knowing it's going to be one of 2 people.
Also then the admins will have to set up a voting place and waste there time on it.
Finally how do u vote. Voting is meant to be private so u dont yell and if we did have to the admins wouldnt be able to keep count.

This idea turned into an argument

That's what I meant.
Atleast everyone else on the forums can read this very interesting topic and see if they like it or not.

Tyber and clash have the right idea!

Also how can you vote?

Cerealman41 your not seeing the side to it. I don't know if you have applied to be a mod/op before but I did it and INEED really like my application so what he did was gave me an interview per say and said some different scenarios and I answered them with what I would do. That's how they know if you are going to be decent enough and not a brainless idiot its exactly the same way as how someone becomes a mod anyway. Instead of the Admins/Mods making the final decision they just pick too players they really like and have interviewed and has the potential to be really good, then the community decides. It wouldn't necessarily go down on popularity :S

Let me fix you on your example, if said scenario did happen, it would be likely that way because i help alot of people on the server. But i do see where you are comming from. If me and Linda were made mods, it'd be more likely she would have more people for her BUT, the fact that alot of the new players like the idea of me, i dunno, i feel like i am ranting on..... LOL!

And on friends server, They do voting in-game. all it is, is that you get a sign, Put the persons name on the wall and you leave as soon as that is done. They also leave the very final decision up to the head-mod. But we get to see who the comunity would like in their own prefrence. Look to some of you guys, it may not make sence, but i also came up with this idea because i thought it would make our server even more popular....... nvm

As Cereal and others were saying, It can be a popularity contest only IF, YOU let it become one. Going to your lil speach about giving away free items, i do that on a regular basis to help out all the new people and people down on their luck.

Using signs as voting papers would be bad. Another person could break yours(unless it is protected by lwc. It would be easy to cheat by putting more then 1 sign down. To stop that you would need video surveillance meaning an op,admin or moderator standing in the voting booth for a whole week. They could also check who put down what sign . That has 2 downsides voting is private(and others can see to) so doing that wouldnt be nice and the admins would have to check 4000 different signs. Also where would u get the space for 4000 blocks.

Is the glass half empty or half full? It's half empty

Karl, i love the fact the you are making him realise what i've been trying to tell him and the fact is, is that i didn't really need to tell you anything about them being auto locked, btw karl +1 to ur respect.

Well this is a good idea but so many things could go wrong. I prefer to let the admins choose.
