2 more days left to nominate! (and accept nominations)
And preferably one nomination per person. 

[scorpiaoroldones?]

Hurm. Everyone I wanted nominated has been nominated. ^^ Meh. I'll offer up some graphics making if anyone wants some made. >_<

[Rocket]

Can I nominate Rainbowstar? She resigned as mod so...

[bingo]

That's a brill idea! Not sure if RS is around often enough though.

Dani, do you plan on visiting often enuogh to get nominated? i could still do it!

[Pedro-ologist]

no, bingo i guessed you would sit it out, I was not nominating you, I was nominating K_R...never mind

[bingo]

i know, that's why i said thanks for the thought...

i'll probably post Bingo's Official and Unofficial List Of BP duties on this thread this time....ME'll be the one to PM the new BP ^^

EDIT/// ahh here they are.

Bingo's official list of a Board President's duties:

1) Welcoming and helping new members with a friendly PM, or if their inbox is full you can simply say ''welcome to the board'' when you post, or in Members Info.

[ Unofficial Hints: If a newbie with under 15 posts PMs to ask a question, its helpful to tell them that after you answer they have to have more than 15 posts so their inbox can hold more than one message. Also, a BP should direct members who post off-topic asking for something else, or start weird new threads by linking them to where they should go.]

2) Making sure that the threads you post in are not over 50 pages, nor off-topic, and running smoothly ( aka no fighting, swearing, etc )

[ If a thread hasnt been locked for while, you can report to a moderator and ask them to lock it or if you're unsure whether or not it should be locked, ask them whether or not its allowed. Also, saying 'BOT' alot helps. These arent usually needed though since most members do it on their own ]

3) Reminding everyone of the rules and moderator requests ( for instance, the three-sentence rule in couples, or the RP rules etc )

[ A BP isnt a mod, its not your responsibility to check absolutely everyone and everything etc, but you can help, unless you're supposed to 'mod' a certain thread like i do with Couples and RP, then its not needed]

**** What a BP really does is that they're the member people can go to without being intimidated with a mod. And they usually know the threads and members better than the mods so they're around more to make sure everything's okay. A BP is really a sort of connection between the members and moderators, you just PM or report if anything goes wrong.

Bingo's list of unofficial Board President Duties:

1) Although this isnt supposed to be done by the BP in particular, its kind of customary that a BP does Horowards once every month. You can ask people for help in counting votes though, and just c/p last month's to make it easier. Because there's no attic now, i think Horowards are allowed a few - a FEW - posts that arent votes to discuss them.

2) Because you're only BP for a few months, around February the next elections should begin, and once again its pretty customary that you run them. Either another mod or member or i will be there to help, but it'll mostly be done by the BP.

3) Again, it's not required, but apparently the BP is expected to 'mod' the RolePlay when there is one. It's pretty easy - just enforce the rules the mods have already put up!

These are the ones i gave ME....she'll be doing the new ones... ^^

[*ME2005*]

Thanks Bingo! I think you've made the best BP so far, if thats any consolation  If you staty around long enough you'll probably get moderator privleges too, what with Xero already having offered you them 
Anyway, you have one more day to accept or nominate.

[Kaurageous_rocks]

umm....pedro so did you nominate me or not?

[bingo]

KR....you could just read the previous two pages....

BOT please.

[Pedro-ologist]

I did nominate K_R...

bingo I was just reading the rules about going off topic, I think I can do that

[Kaurageous_rocks]

okay i accept the nomination and agree to abide to the rules 

[blondest brunette]
