meh I didn't want to be nominated. Its too much responsibility, it would mean working with all he admins, and Its only until now that i'm actually managing my time better.
So, don't worry :]

OooooOOOKAY So why should you vote for me?
*ahem* I'll try my best to keep this short and sweet!
Right off the bat, SPOTM is an awesome place. I love it here. So naturally the commitment I'm willing to make to better the moon in any way, shape, or form that I can is FAR from superficial.
I believe in SPOTM. Otherwise I wouldn't still be here. Therefore I believe the moon has a ton of unrealized potential. Granted being a mod isn't the most revolutionary position ever, mods are in place not just to keep the gravy train rolling, but to encourage, welcome and inspire people. This is one of the things the moon does best, and I want to be a big part of it! (...Not to say I couldn't without being a mod, but it would definitely give me some purpose to focus my efforts like a laser, rather than being a rather casual member.)
So obviously, if everyone was PERFECTLY mature - It could be pretty tricky in context to embrace our inner weird. Now I'm far from perfectly mature - BUT I have a few years behind me now, and being a father and a Mason, I feel like I've developed a pretty solid sense of responsibility where it counts. So what does this mean to SPOTM? Well obviously we want our mods to be able to kick back and be fun - But also a mod who has enough life experience to think objectively when a situation may arise or a quick decision needs to be made.
Finally - The technical side. I've been a creative director and multimedia designer for years...Especially with web. That being said, I have so much that I have to offer the forum on a technical, aesthetic and design context. And this is something that I've ALWAYS offered on my own time and free of charge. The offer stands, and as a mod, I would be in an ideal place to offer and interpret these skills to the folks who run SPOTM on the technical end of things.
That's pretty much it, to a tee!
So I hope you'll vote for me, I'm pretty stoked to have the opportunity. On the plus side, regardless of who the new mods are - The moon is DEFINITELY in solid hands.
-Rob-

COUGHAlright, so here's why you should totally vote for me. I pretty much agree with rob here, but I'm going to explain anyways I LOVE SPOTM. Yes I do. I love being here, I love the people here. I pretty much have more friends here then in real life . I'm always here. If you look at the members online, I'm usually online. Because, I'm a teenager. We have nothing else to do if we have no friends. I keed, I keed. I Wan't to be here, I want to help. I'm good with rules and our values and I know everybody has their opinion. I don't just go blatantly attacking people because they don't like the same music that I do. And I know a troll when I see one. I just don't start talking to them and attacking them One more thing. I respect every member on SPOTM, even though they might only post in the Forum games section, or the Dan 3.0 section, they all have a right to be here. And they all have a right to leave, too. Although I hate it when somebody DOES leave And nobody is perfect, and of course not everybody can behave all the time But I'm not going to start shouting at someone because they broke rule number 1337 paragraph 42 section 1 once, accidentally. Mistakes can be made. We are, only human. At least, most of us are My Promises (If I become a mod) -Be Awesome -Help those in need (as much as I can) -Do my tasks properly -Be active as a mod And that's pretty much it. Please vote for me if you.. well agree with me -Kev

So now I have to make a long post? Ksec
I just want to point out some stuff. People may believe I'm just here for, as they say, shiggles. That's not entirely true. I'm here to watch SPOTM grow. Like I said, I've spent almost a year here, I'm not giving it up now. So sure, I may not participate in all the projects, but I still want to see SPOTM succeed and achieve greatness. *puts 2 peace signs up with his hands as he walks off stage*

So things I want to say about moderators but not necessarily about me; MODS don't have to be actively in discussions and posts as a MOD but as a MEMBER of the forums.. so I'm saying you don't have to be a active poster to be an active mod but yeah, I guess everyone likes them to be.. secondly and this is something I wanted to post before I knew i was nominated but ow well.. I think the mods should also be people who don't all three share the same time zone.. (since a lots of the above posts were made while I was asleep or at school and this post will probably be the same for others..) So yeah.. Ps. don't worry, you'll still get #cookies even when I don't get elected.. okay.. maybe less..

Hey, what if there's like, a tie like this Bob [5] Steve [4] Joe [3] Phil [3] Hmmm. I think the obvious solution is to fuse Joe and Phil into one physical person. We can call him Poe.

The simplest solution in the event of a tie will probably just be having an admin that didn't use all their allotted votes to break it.
But iunno. We'll cross that hurdle when/if we get to it.

HELLO, VOTE FOR ME:Here is why I think you should: - I am not a troll - I know none of the nominees are trolls, but it is all ways good to make sure you aren't a troll from step one. Any way... what I mean by that is I don't create intentional post to make an argument and people upset. But also a more hidden meaning... I will, and always have made an effort to understand all sides and all perspectives when I post. Trust me, when you have to take R.E. for GCSE at school you get good at analysing perspectives.
- I follow our tribe’s values - Another simple on that I think is often overlooked, in case you forgot our values here is a document where you can find them. bit.ly/9eaLjX . And when I say I follow them I really do...
Use our awesomeness for good - I do, I participate in many different projects all benefiting someone/thing.
Embrace our "inner weird" - Yeah... I think you can find your own examples of me being weird... they are every time I post...
Have fun - Now this is a good one. ALOT of my IRL friends know that I spend ALL my time on the internet, and they always complain about how me sitting at home rather than going out cant be fun... but it really is. I enjoy posting here, I enjoy being here, I enjoy being up at 3am for a meeting here, I enjoy projects here. HECK, I enjoy here.... I would not still be here is it wasn't fun, and seeing as I have been here since we brought the moon that counts for something... doesn't it?
Think impossibly big - Well, perhaps I don't do this so much any more... but me thinking that you guys will vote for me is pretty ambitious so sure... I do think big.
Grow out - Yeah, I have referred a lot of people to the SPOTM PogoTribe channel, and I'm sure that helped us grow out
Grow strong - This is where I can only say I have taken part in projects, helping us build onto our community.
Stand by what we know to be true – Yeah, I do this… I will always stand by my values and fight for them… however I am more than happy to accept new ideas.
Accept that we don't know everything – LOL, I don’t just stand by it… I know it…
Welcome ALL who stand by these values – Yeah, I do welcome anyone… the more the merrier.
- I have forum moderator experience - Check this link here for a description of what I have done: bit.ly/aKPIob
- I am active on the forum - I'm sure you have all seen me post before... and if not my post count (that doesn't matter) is at 1,032. So you know I have been active . Also, here is what I mean if I say I will be an active moderator: bit.ly/a8yxrl
- I am not a DAN 3.0 crazed member - I think this is an important point, probably 1 in every 100 posts are in the D3PO section...
- I’m FROM THE UK - Meaning I am AWESOME, and some cultural diversity is better... to stop James from getting lonely
- I’m approachable - An important one, by this I mean if anyone needed anything I would more than defiantly help them out. Be it a technical glitch or even emotional support.
- I love the moon - I have been here for a long long time, and I like the free cheese...
- I love all you - Probably more of a reason I love the moon, I love the people on it. You are all so friendly and this is probably one of the nicest forums to be on... on the entire internet. Seriously, have a #cookie.
- Last but not least, I would make a good moderator -
[/b] I really believe I would, I'm organised and know the basics of moderating forums. I also have a passion to get ALL threads organised (look in projects section p1-p4) [/li][/ul] So thank you very much for reading this, and please conciser giving me a vote. I would love everyone for it so much. Thanks for being awesome. -Sean

Damn.. It's gonna get really tough to vote for someone.. But since everyone is making some kind of "Hi, I'm x and vote for me because a & b" This is mine: Hi, I'm Ferre and if you vote for me you'll get a #cookie! nah.. I kid.. you'll get a #cookie even when you don't vote for me but seriously.. I'm not gonna list a bunch of facts/statement why you should vote for me since I don't really like campaigns claiming to change this and that and eventually do nothing.. so yeah.. you'll have to make up the fact whether you'll vote for me or not on your own DFTBA *#cookie * PS.: If you have any questions while making up your mind, feel free to pm me!*
