3RU7AL for DART President

1. Making the bans of users be held up to a high standard of fairness (which can involve things prior to that ban and how the mods dealt with things in between it in broken-down steps).
   
2. Holding fun events like official debate tournaments (that's the only one I can think of for now as gaming tournaments are able to be held by anyone anyway).
   
3. Both representing the website as some form of ambassador-account on the outside and by chain reaction of 1 and 2 making the site appealing on top of their own 'appearance' for people who come across the website to think 'wow this is tiny but a fun place to join!' 
   

This President thing's been going on for 2 to 3 weeks I don't understand why now somebody thinks they should get to throw their name in the hat.

Campaigning Rules & Guidelines

During the designated campaigning period, users may advocate election for themselves or others by doing any of the following:

I can see issues with them as a presidential candidate

3RU7AL's more cut out for a non-sociable role.

I would encourage them (gender not displayed in profile) to endorse me despite some disagreements with me. I'd even encourage you to do the same.

The president overall serves three purposes:

1. Making the bans of users be held up to a high standard of fairness (which can involve things prior to that ban and how the mods dealt with things in between it in broken-down steps).
   
2. Holding fun events like official debate tournaments (that's the only one I can think of for now as gaming tournaments are able to be held by anyone anyway).
   
3. Both representing the website as some form of ambassador-account on the outside and by chain reaction of 1 and 2 making the site appealing on top of their own 'appearance' for people who come across the website to think 'wow this is tiny but a fun place to join!' 
   

President’s Role

While not a moderating role, the President does retain limited powers with their position, including:

• The ability to communicate within a moderation team chat (via Discord) in order to give input on all forms of daily decision-making. Except when completely untenable, the mod team will strive to ensure the President’s viewpoint is heard and honored.
  
• The ability to approve or veto permanent ban propositions. Moderation will be required to submit permanent ban propositions to the President for review unless the user in question is a bot or advertising account, the situation is uniquely urgent or severe, the President is absent and/or unreasonably tardy, or the permanent ban proposition targets the President themselves. Vetos may be overridden by a simple majority vote among the moderation team. 
  
• The ability to envision and execute community events, pending the approval and assistance of moderation.
  

In general, the President will spend the vast majority of their time in service observing the ordinary daily tasks of the moderation team and giving counsel as they see fit. 

I can achieve this, it's up to you to believe it or not.

He's already made it clear he's completely biased to certain people.

And it's been discussed before December 27th

not my fault you don't come to the site more often

Lastly, I don't give a f*** who runs and who doesn't.

It's a goddamn joke position.

It's the same thing they tried with what's her name and we all saw how that worked out.

I hope you accept the nomination.  I look forward to facing a serious opponent

He's likely to attract people who would vote for you more than people who would vote for me based on what I predict his platform will be.

I would never endorse you for any serious office. You're without doubt very intelligent; but you're also very erratic. You don't have your emotions under control even with the convenience of anonymity.

He's likely to attract people who would vote for you more than people who would vote for me based on what I predict his platform will be.

However, by all means encourage it. 

It is easy to judge someone who has actually been under pressure before. 3RU7AL has never faced a high pressure situation here, they've faced scenarios of pure neutrality and idea exchange, completely ignoring the social side of the website.

Wylted is more erratic than I am, including how he lept from being against me to for me to against me again purely based on where his ego and impulses led him.

It's all fine by me whatever you think or vote for, in the end the site will suffer not me alone and that is the nature of democracy if the majority are too ignorant of the reality at any one election.

Alright, please be sure to make a thread outlining your campaign with promises, otherwise you have not yet officially announced your candidacy. I am telling you this to help you out and part of that is to tell you that now that you announced you accepted the nomination, you are not allowed to discuss your candidacy outside of either your own campaign thread (not this one) or other's campaign threads (Wylted's and my own) that's how it works.

I accept the nomination

One more technicality... I'm under the impression 2 need to endorse/nominate a candidate for them to be properly official. As in you are 1 person, there needs to be another who offically backs 3RU7AL.

I accept the nomination
