[VOTE] Lyzerious

Post by Spyder »

VI for the new guy?

This little fella

This discussion thread

The case for:
1: He's clearly an idiot
2: Repeated factual faux pa and takes out his logical problems on other users
3: Keeps coming back for more
4: Picking on newbies is funny
5: Add your own (see discussion thread)

The case against:
1: It might not be very good for his self esteem
2: Add your own (see discussion thread)
:D

I am quite unimpressed with his performance in the thread in question, but I'm also wary of dolling out punishments to new members after a single incident. Voted.

Abstain. Discussion threads are getting shorter and shorter.

Not to be a stickler, but didn't we just have (a few months ago) a discussion that vote threads should only really be started by Governors and Admins, or those with special dispensation from said officials?

Granted, three out of four governors agreed to brand him, and I may well be tempted to agree, but the period of time from discussion to vote was minuscule in this case. The original discussion thread was posted at 2143 on the 20th, and the vote thread was posted 0427 on the 21st. Not even eight hours had passed in the middle of the night for "discussion". Whether or not he deserves it, I think this is a clear case of jumping the gun. We're not in a rush here, what's the harm in letting things stew for a day or more while people have a chance to look at the arguments for and against? It's not like there wasn't discussion forming on the discussion thread.

VI him. It's clear from his posts that he has no interest in even trying to educate himself, so the title is appropriate.

If you search on "all posts by..." you'll see his idiocy is NOT restricted to just one thread. He doesn't have that many posts, I managed to read all of them in a short time.

Despite believing that he'll end up here for a vote soon enough, I do have to concur with those who believe this is jumping the gun.

As much as I think he deserves the VI title from what I've read so far, if it's customary to give him more time, then so be it. We can always title him later.

Because there are many who feel this title poll was placed too quickly, I would like to suggest that the votes for "No" and "Abstain" be counted together instead of separately when the poll ends.

I voted no and I don't think he should be titled (yet) either but I don't want to change procedure for the vote, either. It's possible by posting in this thread for someone to change the official record of their vote, and anyone who feels they have voted wrongly should do so.

What change? This was discussed a while ago, and it was decided to enforce the existing rule about who creates a vote thread and the general guidelines for doing so.

Due to several mitigating factors, including insufficient time to determine whether the person in question is truly deserving of such a vote and failure to follow proper procedure, I am declaring this vote invalid.
