We of the Omega Party stand ready with fresh policies for a happier future. Do they involve shouting?

In a rare exercise of my GodMod status, to deter time-wasters I decree that any candidate who stands and fails to achieve three votes (including their own) shall be known to have officially LOST THEIR DEPOSIT.

Where do we stand on the matter of those with negative robot points, and thus in Nid, being prevented from standing?

Where do we stand on the matter of those with negative robot points, and thus in Nid, being prevented from standing? As candidates have been smiting / smitten / been smitten by / are smitten with one another (delete as appropriate), it would be unfair to let lack of robot points be a bar to standing. Also, our real-life politicians can be found guilty of acting unlawfully by the Supreme Court and continue as Prime Minister, so... Martin

Would I be the first forum member to endorse someone other than himself if I said I intend to cast my vote for Shockprowl?

We are not at a voting stage yet. As previously indicated we are merely at the stage where candidates announce they are standing.

Non-candidates may endorse declared candidates or signal voting intentions at any stage of the proceedings. And may lie about their intentions. Or change their minds, should a half-decent candidate emerge. -Voter Martin PS Candidates cannot be presiding officers!

I will no longer stand as I can better further the cause of the Hub by not standing but running a limited company that will control those who are elected

Shouldn't the motion be accepted by the Hub Lords before it's made official? All the candidates are so keen to undermine the process that they have made themselves unelectable in my eyes.

I don't believe I have undermined anything.
I have yet to decide on what, if any, policies I will have.

Bold move to stand without policies.

Bold move to stand without policies. Better than standing with policies, but no actual explanation of how to realistically implement them #corbyn #zing #wrongforumforthisnonsense #jokes

I see predetermined policies as a limitation of my vision for what the forum could be, and potentially limiting as and when circumstances change.

I have an idea of what policies will make for a smooth running Hub, however, I am keen to hear the point of view of voters before giving voice to them.

If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. How can you honestly say it isn't broke? We have Ralph on some days where he has positive robot points, spammers creating new accounts soliciting legitimate replies, people who read in recent posts view, I managed to be the first to create a Week XX thread, forum members who like Prowl more than Starscream, polls without sausage options, a text adventure that is stalled, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!
