In the beginning, we were a very small sect of people who had fun as a group. There were no issues beyond a few trolls now and again, and they were quickly extinguished. But now we are in a time of need. As the forum's size increases, we find new problems, and that can cause a lot of stress on Big Green over in the Command Centre. I've noticed that a lot of the forum knows what's what, and more importantly, what should be what. Obviously, this is why we're holding the election in the first place.

This election is about one thing, and one thing only. Improving the site in the eyes of the members. As a result, the goal is, in a way, to read the member's minds, and base what you're promising off of that. Although it apparently doesn't help to be popular.

This is why I find making promises on the campaign trail rather frivolous. In the end, the president will simply be reporting the wants and needs of the common member to Big Green. I could make all the promises in the world if I wanted to, but if you guys say otherwise, it isn't going to matter what I want. You are essentially 99% of what the President says. And that's how I plan to lead if elected.

I can safely say there are many things the members unanimously agree on, and those, beyond all other things, will be what I promise to you. Just a few examples of what I believe are considered unanimous among members...

Return of the Digibutter Search:

Sure, it's a small issue, but whenever I see it brought up, it's never contested. Digibutter's search engine was fast, easy and efficient. But it has been scrapped in favour of a dysfunctional Google-based search engine that never seems to want to give the results you want.

Removal of Junk Forums:

Forums like Miyamojo and Oekaki are very rarely used, so they sit there taking up the site's space. Oekaki in particular has an entire engine for itself, and it's rarely used.

The Economy:

The Economy of Digibutter is beyond FUBAR. Many attempts to spice up the site (team-on-team wars, for example) have been wrecked by the fact that the economy is just too unstable to house it. We, as a community must come up with a decent solution that makes coins more useful, to encourage (or in severe cases, force) the use of coins, in order to help build a more stable and reliable Economy.

The Over-Moderation of Off-Topic:

There has been a rash of over-moderation in our Off-Topic forum, and that is a very bad thing. Relaxing the rules on Off-Topic will help soften the mood across the forums, as well as quell a lot of problems about the moderators. This will also reduce the need for a spamboard, which would only take up mass amounts of the site's space.

Removal of the Fine System:

The fine system has become nothing more than an excuse to break as many rules as the members please. Since the system was implemented, there has been an increase in rule-breaking from certain members. This is, no doubt, a clear problem.

These are only a few of the things you want, from what I've seen. I chose to not include a lot of what I was originally going to promise, because I knew that the consensus comes from not myself, but Digibutter as a whole.

I've listened to you, Digibutter, now I plead for you listen to me.

That is all.

I'd sooner vote for Popple than Moi

[Black Yoshi]

[Yoshio]

I just think he's too uptight

and he is not an impartial mod

he's my least favorite of the candidates, that is just my opinion of course but he represents exactly where I do not want digibutter to go

and I do admit that I have a personal thing against both him and Popple

[Captain Blue]

disregard plx

[Yoshio]

disregard

[Super ShadowArticuno]

First Cid and Goomba, now you?

Mods running to be the voice of the members... Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

Oh well. We'll just have to see how this all turns out...

I like the fact that you, too, want to remove the fine system.

HEY! DON'T FORGET ME AND POPPLE! WE'RE...SOMETHING ELSE! WE'RE LIKE...DIFFERENT AND STUFFS! *wavewave*

...okay, anyway, I agree with a lot of your platforms. It's a shame you won't win, you really are one of the best candidates with the most firm beliefs (and you also share my distaste for our admin)...*sigh*...
