Premature In-voting. Millions of M.O.Ms suffer in silence from this crippling, stigmatized condition. Actual numbers are unknown as so many are reluctant to admit, even to their doctors, that they In-vote prematurely. But now, there is help...
We stop saying "IN!" at the drop of a name or the first pass application from any Tom, Dick and Cubanoloco. That's the help there is. I'm as guilty of it as anyone.
Hi...my name is Wigbomb...and...ahem...I'm a premature In-voter.
Here's my thought on the matter. Matter of fact it's my only current thought. Capacity is down to one thought at a time.
We eat my words and form something resembling a "council". No. NO. I can't. So let's say...we revisit the "Board of Admissions", gently drop those members who rarely or never vote, create a new board comprised of only active threadsters, and actually take a longer, harder look at each new prospect before just hauling off and parroting"IN!". And the board, after devoting at least a few minutes to checking the BlackList thread, sleuthing around a bit, soliciting input via PM from any and all interested M.O.Ms, makes a more informed decision...with ALL board members voting, not just the one or two we've been rolling with so far. .
Meanwhile, Cubanoloco91, you are by no means being given the hot light and rubber hose treatment here. We've been made aware of some issues, we naturally need to address those to the satisfaction of any skeptical M.O.Ms before declaring you officially in. It's really only what we should have been doing all along, nothing personal. Except for the personal parts. Let us hear from you as soon as you see this. I've played with you numerous times and never seen anything questionable. Other M.O.Ms have other experiences with you...and screen caps to back up their concerns. Anyone can have a bad...month. And anyone can change his or her attitude. Your invitation to join M.O.M was at the behest of several members. Now there are members who aren't so sure. Let's play it as if those two facts cancel each other out and we're beginning the interview from scratch. We all know you're a highly skilled player, now we need you to let us know where you stand on spawn killing, team killing, blue-hangar-bombing and vulgar or abusive language. The ball is in your court.
SHeiBe Kopf, let me know by PM when you're ready to get back in harness with revising page 1, maintaining the roster, etc. Until then I'm happy to handle it. Coincidentally I think the MOMstitution is due for an overhaul. Don't worry Jacklpe, this is one case where I do not advocate pacifist hippie gun control!
