Official NyanNyanKoneko Campaign Thread

<< < (2/4) > >>

NyanNyanKoneko:
You're right!   Of course this isn't a moderator position.

Remember that a daijin is supposed to, "govern over forum etiquette matters."  I stated my views on the subject clearly above.   I want to focus on minimal drama, and free speech.  Also, I wanted to make my intentions clear that I want to help this board and the people on it.  Part of my platform is that my only objective is that I want to help, not rule, not be popular, and not even set up a nuclear launch site through a money laundering scheme.

My ultimate goal is to promote an encouraging atmosphere.

EDIT:

As for critiques, our current system of letting everyone post and get critiques currently works just fine, and I wouldn't want to change that.

As for activities and challenges, as mentioned before, I would like to set up activies that encourage new members to participate.  Most of the current activites and challenges focus on being the best.  I think, when we pixel, we are all winners.  Therefore, I would encourage "pixel for fun!" activities that focus on imagination as opposed to raw skill. 

For example, we could set up an activity in which I give a basic outline or theme, and the participants only goals are to be original in their work.  The most creative pixel wins. 

But lets face it, the activities will be largely based on the conscenscious of the board at the time.  It's better to gauge the situation in the future and come out with specific plans based on the most relevant data available instead of giving X, Y, and Z which people may like now, but may not like 3 weeks from now.

I want to make sure everyone can and is enjoying this board.  I'm open to all ideas.

Thank you.  I think so too.  I hope to gain your support.

I'm all about trying to make things easier as opposed to more complicated.   That's why I want to make it easy for people to upload their work.  I also want to make it easier to do colabs.  Most likely, such changes would have to take place on another server, obviously.  But like I said, if the artists think its not worth the time or effort, I will listen to you 100%.


--- Quote ---this position does not have revolutionary capabilities, but rather to help give a nice friendly fun face to the forum.
--- End quote ---
I want to do what I can to help this community.

EDIT 2:
I've been thinking about who I would choose as daiyo, and there are a couple of people I would choose.

Number 1 would be Dogmeat.  He comes across to me as someone with a lot of ambition and thought.  He's someone I would trust to tell me the truth, and to work along side me.

Number 2 would be Evan.  Evan is someone I've known for a long time, and I trust his opinion to gauge what would be most fun for this board. 

Another person I've seen on the board and admire a lot is Indigo.  I really like his laid back attitude, but he's not afraid of work either.  He comes across to me as someone with a lot of tallent, not only in pixeling, but in many areas of his life.

Helm:
What does or doesn't get edited is up to moderators. This doesn't mean they'll act like horrible beasts (well, besides me), but really, free speech or lack thereof have nothing to do with these elections. In fact, 'free speech' is a term that's completely redundant in the confines of an proactively moderated forum such as this. Posting is a priviledge, not a right, and to have that priviledge, people forfeit aspects of their free speech at the door. For example, given free speech you could go severily OT in a topic, or you could call people names. These aren't tolerated. Drama aside, free speech is simply not a debatable issue here. If you're using this as a platform to get people to vote for you because they like the idea of more freedom of what to post, I'm sorry to burst bubbles. Just a few clarifications, of the official kind.

NyanNyanKoneko:
People will vote for me for what I represent and what I believe in, not what's in or outside my scope to control.   :)

Helm:
That statement makes no sense, but okay, good luck.

NyanNyanKoneko:
Helm, does this mean that I can expect your support in the upcoming election?   :)

BTW: PM me if you're still curious and I'll explain what I meant above in further detail.
