    I agree, we base these things off of what people say on the forums. Also, as many people know I consider slydessertfox one of my closest friends IRL and I can say that if I based my thoughts on his personality based solely on what he says/does on the forums, I would get pretty close to his own personality. I see no reason why this is different with any other members except for ones who purposely try to hide their personality.
    I also agree with the proposal, but I have a question about these "Vice Tribunes", will they be able to see the Mods corner and post in it? Or will they be just like regular members except for their fancy name and probably (read: hopefully) color?

    And you think that a few threads are a good judgement on what a person is like? Name me one instance on Ler as a Tribune which makes you think that he did such a terrible job that he should be prevented from ever running again?

    Just on the posts on a few topics, you cannot actually judge how someone will act as a Tribune. And certainly not good enough to say that he should not be allowed to run.

    And you seriously think Ler is such a terrible person, judging from what he says on the forums, that he should be prevented from being a Tribune?

    Then what do you say we should judge people on? Should everyone talk to every candidate on Skype and grab a beer with them?

    No. I say that you can't possibly objectively think that Ler should be prevented from running, because I can't see anything he had done wrong.

    And there is a difference between choosing who you want to run with based on what they say on the forums, or not allowing them to run for that reason. If you don't want him as a Tribune, just don't vote for him. I think General just says this so he'll have a bigger chance in the upcoming Elections.

    Not at all. He can run. In fact I support some of his campaign. I just still support the IDEA. Plus someone is only prevented from running if they had a second tier offense while Tribune.

    Haha wow.

    First of all i used to frequently talk with ler on Skype he is not a bad person, do not judge people because of what other people have said about someone that just makes you look shallow and unable to form you own opinion.

    2nd of all I have changed my mind about ler. He should be allowed to run let his actions during this and previous times of being a tribune judge his ability at being a tribune.

    While he has been punished accordingly and apologised (all of which I acknowledge), it remains a fact that he, while being a tribune, posted some heavy shit. While I agree that it's far from enough to bar him from ever running again (even though I do think with the stuff that's been going on, it's not the smartest idea), it's naive to say he's done nothing wrong. But, we've been over this plenty of times.

    True.

    Seriously? Like how Sly made this thread to discredit Ler, and Ler in turn responded aggressively to discredit Sly? I long for the day where people stop creating badly thought out conspiracy theories.

    But what will happen to Fox News on such a day? They kind of need that.

    I don't see how anyone could seriously believe this kind of thing. The most likely explanation: He's trying to make his opponent look bad.

    Fox News has nothing to do with conspiracies. All they say is true.
