Blither all you want gracchvs you broke the rules - I hereby declare that anybody who votes against me is clearly a fascist sympathizer. This is why you do not establish that sort of precedent. I also don't believe any of them intended on voting - and even if they did - would they run? and if they did who would vote for them?
I also don't see why this is a sticky - particularly because it could contain slander and there's no procedure to actually fact check its accusations.
I stickied it so the names aren't lost. Not to promote slander, but so that we have the names in one place if people want to contest the decision. If they deny it (and none of them have, the most I got was a 'how dare you' comment on my profile) and want to be let in, that can be done after the election.
Now onto your petty legalism: You ask 'who would vote for them?'
They would, of course. That there were subsequently join requests by people who had them friended and chatting happily in their profile comments section shows that this was not just a bunch of people, but a concerted attempt to injure, and possibly destroy the
last leftist guild on gaia.
If they did in fact win the election, would you advocate giving them power?
You probably would, claiming that we could easily make a new Guild, however the obvious problem there is that would destroy any legitimacy for your claims of keeping the guild membership high for listings purposes.
No. I did what I feel was necessary. If you want to make a formal complaint against me, go ahead and do so, and we can play until this fun little sandbox is empty.
As for setting a precedent, unfortunately we don't have the guild constitution any more, and noone was on to confer with. I have no doubt that the majority of the active
NCSers would support my decision in that context.
