Nomination for Tyrone Briggs to Become an Adminstrator

In the interests of diversity, I nominate myself for the position of administrator for ArmchairGM.

I will work for others without self-interest or prejudice. I will represent all members equally without favoritism. I am a firm believer in due process and will defend the rights of all ArmchairGM members. Every member deserves equal representation at the administrator position.

My platform is simple.

End the tyranny.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Regards,

Tyrone Briggs Chicago, IL

Perhaps we need to make a list of acceptable words- my momma use to say that "bullshit" was a swear word.

So is fuck, shit, asshole, dickhead, etc etc allowed? What about "cunt"- that's a pretty bad word-

PS- my campaign allows swearing- not allowing it is an act against free speech-

With that said, I'm about as fine with TB being an admin as FP or Beast...my only reservation is that perhaps he should be here a little longer... On that note, I could give two shits who's an admin overall because it doesn't really effect me. No one should delete my comments, articles, ban me or otherwise because I generally don't cause any problems like that...so, for the most part, I'm ok with anyone being an admin who wants to...just know you're going to be held to a higher standard...

Alex raises 3 excellent issues that I am more than happy to answer:

Feel free to ask anything. I have an open door policy when it comes to communicating and listening to members that I would represent at all times on all matters as an admin. End tyranny. Vote Briggs.

I wouldn't mind it. Even though Tyrone and I butted heads a little bit, I'm a believer in second chances and from what I've seen out of Tyrone outside of the fights has been more than enough to constitute a "Yes" vote.

Tyrone, I apologize for the self righteous asshole comment. I'm hoping you really don't think I'm racist and part of some grand conspiracy to oppress you on this site. I have no problem with you.

For those voting "No" on this, would you consider it if we were to instate a "probationary" period on becoming an admin, like at a job or something? I had to do it where I work part time during school. It's just a thought.
