Congratulations, Jade! I think it's the first time a newbie has won the award which just shows how highly members here thought of your posts!

And it's a few days later and she posts where?
Sorry jade. I don't vote for myself. Only fools and horses.

Just a basic problem with jade. She's showing 113 posts. So I go to see her last 100 posts and there's nothing.
Because she doesn't exist anna. It's a dead give away with the graphics.
Look, whatever the game is I don't care. But why create a bogus poster to go up against people who post here?
I wasn't the only poster nominated. There were other good posters who should have had a shot.
This is just dumb. It's stupid and pointless. And if this is the way this site will be run, then I was right the 1st time to cut and run.

Nasty word but appropriate. Gabriel

There were 5 other posters besides the mythical jade and I.
Didn't they deserve a fair go?
This is not right.

Dear Gabriel
I don't know why you're assuming that Jade is some sort of weird sock puppet created by me.
Believe me, I have 75 members here and around thirty of them are pretty active so why on earth would I need to create imaginary ones?
For what it's worth, the default settings on a member's profile for anyone who wants to search for their previous posts only give you the last few.
The default settings on this board only allow the last fifty posts by all members to be shown.
There's no way - except by searching manually - to track down every single post by any given member.
I know because I've tried to do it myself!
I have no control over who members choose to nominate or vote for. I actually nominated two and one of them was Jade.
I only have one vote as does every other member.
For what it's worth staff can check IPs and see if someone is trying to sign up for multiple memberships.
I think that ALL the posters who were nominated are a credit to this forum and any one of them would have made an excellent member of the month.
For what it's worth, one of them already won that award last year though not this time round.
We also don't let people be nominated again for another six months after they've won.
That seems to me to give a lot of choice and to be a fair system.
Jade, to be honest, won pretty easily. She and Riotgrrl are the only members so far where their election HASN'T been close.
I can't see any evidence of any sort of collusion, Gabriel.
What I see is members voting for a candidate who they felt had made a lot of good posts - just like it always is on this forum.
If I thought for a minute there was anything dodgy going on I'd be the first to intervene.

I can see jades posts too.
Gabe, not clear to me who you are acusing and of what. I recall the last time before you left similar strange antics, I hope you are well.

oooooooooooooo I see I am causing a bit of controversy!
Gabriel - how could you!
If you cant see my stuff maybe your eyes skitter away from them in a frenzy of denial?
Tut at you bloke, really, tut. Smacks of curmudgeonly self absorbtion at its best, and not at all charming.
Now, stop that foot shuffling and actually welcome me as a new member here. Like your mum taught you - manners cost nothing.
Jade

Looking back over the thread, I think Gabriel may have misinterpreted one of your posts, Jade, and thought you were accusing him of voting for himself, when you probably intended quite the reverse!
But I may well be quite wrong and have made the whole silly thing much worse, so hope that both of you can just keep posting your excellent posts and come to know each other.

Hi Skylark
Actually, yes that is what I said wasn't it?
I dont think voting for oneself is anything to be ashamed of by the way - imagine Barack voting for McCain?
I am just amazed he thought I was Anna!
