How about admins nominate them or something? --The Chill Master! Talk to me I am the party dragon! Master of the pencil Calling all agents! Let's-a read! Awesomeness here Wrong turn! 20:34, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

I agree with chill, because then there won't be the same people nominated, like LM said. Cp kid Let's talk! 20:36, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Just about every body has been nominated at some point. I can't speak for the admins, but I don't think they're gonna reverse their decision. Bacon777 Chat to me! 21:27, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

I can't see why we need to get rid of this!! Everyone who has won has one for a good reason! Why can't we just have the administrators nominate? What's wrong with that? I understand that users without a good reason are being nominated, but the fate if the PoTM shouldn't rest on the fact that people who do not have a good reason get nominated, it should rest on the fact that the people who don't have a good reason don't win! Sure, people get nominated without a good reason, but do they win? No, because there is someone with a GOOD reason who always beats them! You can nominate all these people without a good reason, but see if they win! And I am sure that I can trust the administrators to nominate people with a good reason!--THE RULER AND DICTATOR OF AWESOME HAS ARRIVED _{TALK TO HIM, OR ELSE...} YOU WILL BE FORCED TO SEE HIS TEMPLATES! 21:34, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Like I said before, the ADMINS most likely WON'T reverse their decision. And 3/5 admins agreed to get rid of it. They are getting rid of it. Gezz. Bacon777 Chat to me! 21:45, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Maybe us users could make our own PoTMs. --The Chill Master! Talk to me I am the party dragon! Master of the pencil Calling all agents! Let's-a read! Awesomeness here Wrong turn! 21:53, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Bacon, I will remind you once again: Remember what happened to the No wiki-games policy! They were going to delete all of our missions, but did they? No, because we opposed it a lot! For example, in Egypt, when they got rid of Mubarak! If you protest enough, you get your way!--THE RULER AND DICTATOR OF AWESOME HAS ARRIVED _{TALK TO HIM, OR ELSE...} YOU WILL BE FORCED TO SEE HIS TEMPLATES! 22:14, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

3 admins plus 2 other users (including ME) agreed. All protesting does is cause a big fight and screw up the wiki. If that happens, blocks WILL be handed out. I assure you. Please, don't try to protest. If the admins say it's gone, it's gone. No doubt. Geez, just stop. OK? Bacon777 Chat to me! 22:19, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Instead of removing the system ENTIRELY, why not just make it so admins can only nominate people?

1. I agree with CK, Cooldude and Chill. 2. I will remind you of the No Item Articles Policy a couple years ago. NOW look where we are!--THE RULER AND DICTATOR OF AWESOME HAS ARRIVED _{TALK TO HIM, OR ELSE...} YOU WILL BE FORCED TO SEE HIS TEMPLATES! 22:21, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

And still, why do only the ADMINS get a say? Can't we have a proper VOTE about this? The wiki is not a place where the admins just decide stuff, like "You must do this, you must do that!" The wiki is a place to compromise! And anyway Bacon, you SHOULD be blocked, so your vote would not count anyway!--THE RULER AND DICTATOR OF AWESOME HAS ARRIVED _{TALK TO HIM, OR ELSE...} YOU WILL BE FORCED TO SEE HIS TEMPLATES! 22:24, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

I remember the no items policy. I think it got rejected, though. I'm not quite sure how that happen, as I joined when the policy was removed.

The policy was rejected, as only 2 users supported it, if I remember. Those were TurtleShroom and was it Brick6000?--THE RULER AND DICTATOR OF AWESOME HAS ARRIVED _{TALK TO HIM, OR ELSE...} YOU WILL BE FORCED TO SEE HIS TEMPLATES! 22:25, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Nickbackfan and I's votes didn't go towards it. Can't you see the sequence of events? Before we agreed, a majority was already REACHED with the admins. Bacon777 Chat to me! 23:17, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

I disagree

I'm sorry, but why wasn't I informed of this? I'm still here you know, it's not like I quit permanently. I don't think it's fair for the PoTM to be removed. People are being nominated regularly for good reasons and it's a great way to recognise achievements on this wiki. There was no harm for it being on, so why would you want to take it off? There is still evident value in it even if you don't see any. --Tigernose Talk • Contribs 23:54, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

• As for the POTM, I think we're starting to run out of nominees, so that's why people are just choosing at random- I don't pay attention to the voting much (usually because it's hard to decide), but it would be kind of weird to see it go. --Hat Pop ^{Bunny Ears Rule!} 23:59, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps, but I'm not for the nomination reasons. At the top I did say I wanted to change it up, and here's what I would thought of changing:

• Nomination notice (reason) right after where the "nominated by <username>" is.
• Nomination reason must be approved by an admin (unless the user is nominated by an admin) - if most admins disapprove of it, the nomination is removed entirely.
• Remove the "against" - it's not being used.

Uh, Tiger, there was a vote on IRC. You weren't there. From what I know, the admins aren't gonna reverse their decision. I'm not an admin, but that's what I think is happening. Bacon777 Chat to me! 00:03, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

There was? I was never involved- let's set up a vote on this page, that way people who did not participate in this "vote" may voice their opinions. --Hat Pop ^{Bunny Ears Rule!} 00:07, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Actually - the decision can be changed. As LM said, there could be a few things we could revamp. I agreed about the original decision yesterday because of the unanimous vote. --NickelbackFan37 Hachiko - the greatest Akita Inu ever 00:09, 1 May 2011 (UTC) (edit conflict forced me to place my comment here)

So we're having a vote? --Template:CooldudeSig
