Admin & Moderator Elections 2020

[ZenGiraffe]

After a great deal of thought and self-reflection, I have decided that this process is missing a serious candidate, one capable of REAL LEADERSHIP, and worthy of elected office that will exercise their duties in good faith and without any goopery, nor any gaggery. Moopy, I am that candidate.

Now I know what you may say. “Oh ZenGiraffe, you have only been here 5 months. You don’t have the experience, grit, or resolve to take such a prestigious role on.” And to that, I say this. I am Mx. COB. That means, as a member of the COB dynasty, I deserve this. Indeed, I would go further to say that I am entitled to it. I can only assume this vote is a formality but still, process must appear to be followed.

Some of my competitors have transformed this “election” into a farce, designed only to stroke their egos and make cheap jokes at each other’s expense. This is not acceptable, and it risks dragging Moopy back to a darker time. One only needs to dip a toe into Moopy Gold to see how much things have changed, and I am the progressive voice who will resist any degeneration into the Moopy of Gold.

For we are no longer the Moopy of fat shaming Whitney Houston. We are the Moopy of celebrating her legacy.

We are no longer the Moopy of backstabbing with anonymous tags. We are the Moopy of front stabbing with public posts.

We are no longer the Moopy of @Agnetha. We are the Moopy of @Ag.

But rhetoric alone is not enough. Moopy needs a plan, so allow me to unveil just some of the goals for my time in office. A minifesto if you like.

• Community Underwritten New Thread Syndicate: Our daily threads have descended into chaos, so instead of leaving control in the hands of the privileged few, new daily threads will instead be nationalised and approved by a central Moopy committee with input from ALL our members.

• Tighter regulation of guitars in ASFM contests: Detailed rules on when a guitar can be used in any Moopy song contest will be implemented, to prevent another "Alestorm Incident"

• Quality Quinceañeras: New members, upon their 15th post, will receive a cameo from your fave and mine, Rani Rodriguez, paid for from the Moopy budget (Estimated cost, 20 pence per Cameo)

• Universal Basic Incum : Each month, a bespoke video from @vespertine will be deposited directly into each members inbox, no questions asked.

So that is why I am here. I am the change we love to see. I am the Moopy glow up, personified.

I am the candidate we can all look up to.

 

[Iguana]

Wait is Octy NOT going for admin?

I inferred from her message in the Admin election thread that she would run but was waiting to see if anyone had stellar tech knowledge who wanted to do it. I am reading into her message rather though so I might be wrong!

OOH!

Gosh you really ARE the Gove!

 

[Rita]

I don’t think the admin team needs to change although I don’t really know what Samuel brings to the table.

 

[lolly]

Oh, that's where I put it

 

[Rita]

Yes I KNOW that read like I still thought Samuel was a member of the admin team when we have the gorgeous Octophone but I MEANT I like things as they are with Indie and Octy and would be interested to know what Samuel has to offer.

DON’T JUDGE ME.

 

[lolly]

Fuck me this is going to be a LONG CAMPAIGN

and it hasn't even started yet

 

[ButterTart]

Omg yes, can we have a discussion about twitter?

why are we not tweeting our a song for Moopy artists etc?

I had such plans for Twitter, then I forgot the password.

 

[Soldi]

Ah, so it's a safari thing, which mod is going to write to Apple and sort that out?

I will if you elect me.

Even if it means my inbox being saturated with Vespertine’s jizz I still kind of think I should vote for this.

OMG @ZenGiraffe

Bitches it's time to STEP UP YOUR PUSSY

 

[Soldi]

Quality Quinceañeras: New members, upon their 15th post, will receive a cameo from your fave and mine, Rani Rodriguez, paid for from the Moopy budget (Estimated cost, 20 pence per Cameo)

Would we not be turning new members away with that shite Mx COB?

And also, look at our post counts. You only joined mere weeks after I did, yet I currently have 9k posts, whilst you’re struggling to break 2000. I think it’s clear who’s around more.

 

[Soldi]

Fancy posts doesn’t win you the modship dear.

As the only candidate with more likes than posts, quality over quantity my dear.

 

[Rita]

@big ron GET IN HERE and wipe the floor with these REPROBATES.

 

[SDF]

TROLLING A VOTER?

This is your just another bigoted woman moment hun

 

[Kala]

I’m kinda glad I am stepping down, even though I didn’t really want to. I just don’t have the chutzpah like some of you do for an election campaign.

‘Vote for me because I’m quite nice and I’d like a second chance to have a go as mod because I’ve learned from my mistakes and promise to do better next time around’ doesn’t really have the same ring to it does it?

 

[Soldi]

As the only candidate with more likes than posts, quality over quantity my dear.

But will you be around when it all goes to shit? That’s the problem here!

 

[dmlaw]

As the only candidate with more likes than posts, quality over quantity my dear.

If this competition were about collecting likes, we'd have to create some sort of non executive position for The Sexual Goo...Oh.

 

[Soldi]

May I also query whether or not @Tisch and @COB will be allowed to vote? I mean talk about a BIAS if there ever was one!

 

[SDF]

But will you be around when it all goes to shit? That’s the problem here!

You've been here 24 days longer?

 

[Rita]

But will you be around when it all goes to shit? That’s the problem here!

For me this is what I will be voting for. I need someone who is online 24/7. Sleep is for wimps.

 

[Soldi]

But I’ve been much more active dear.

 

[SDF]

@Tisch didn't even bother to vote for poor brave @Iguana in Moopyvision karaoke

Never forget @Iguana

You've spammed the forum with the same tired joke since arrival. How do we know you're not colluding with the spammers? How will you deal with the spammers, in the face of your own spamming?

Well they did enter together did they not?

This! At least I’ve taken advice on board about my incessant posting about HIM and SHIT.

 

[Iguana]

For me this is what I will be voting for. I need someone who is online 24/7. Sleep is for wimps.

May I suggest considering tomorrow's Posters of the Week table when deciding your vote, to determine who is truly online 24/7 and whose heart really isn't in it?

 

[Iguana]

May I also query whether or not @Tisch and @COB will be allowed to vote? I mean talk about a BIAS if there ever was one!

I'm sure Tisch will vote for you too so you may be throwing away a vote here

 

[Soldi]

Surely the amount of posts made from the day @ZenGiraffe arrived would be a better indication of this? I’ve still won more weeks than you have.

 

[Soldi]

I'm sure Tisch will vote for you too so you may be throwing away a vote here

I am prepared for that to happen if it means we get an unbiased and fair vote.

 

[Kate]

I would like every candidate to make their feelings on BRINGING BACK TAGS very clear.

No change, however positive, is without its detractors. I don't think the question is so much about how to deal with spammers, but how to win over those of us more resistant to a newer, better way of doing things.

As the Spammer Candidate, how do you think the wider contingent are going to respond to sweeping change? I imagine voters will be alarmed.

I am not the one in this contest that should be accused of spamming, my record shows my quality and considered posts. @Soldi, by his own admission, is a post whore, and @Iguana wants us all to judge him on his Poster of the Week performance tomorrow, which will reflect a protracted and bogged down song contest vote reveal. I am a safe pair of hands, especially compared to these two.

Like I stated above, I have learnt from my post whore phase. I no longer bang on about the subjects that people found annoying and those which felt like spamming.

The main issue is the idea that the mods aren’t around enough (Looking at VoR, Wendy etc). The fact that I often do well in POTW shows that I’m always around.

[AlgoAlex]

Yes !

 

[Rita]

In all fairness I would probably say VoR is a really proactive mod.
