awww.

wonderful! how was your night?

Phame:



With all due respect, this rule negates all code of practice if put on the "weighing balance' of logic.


My reasons are:

1. If it's not part of the rules to have more than 300 votes to participate in this contest as a contestant, I don't think it conforms with logic to ask the voters to have 300 posts to their name before they can vote.

2. The moment you register on this effigy of a forum, you automatically adopt the name "nairalander" irrespective of the number of posts you have , and you stand to enjoy all benefit and protection enjoyed by every member(both old and new ).

3. If a nairalander can post , place advert , increase the traffic of this forum irrespective of his or her number of posts, and can only do this mostly as a registered member, then , I see no reason why he or she should be denied an opportunity of voting simply because he or she hasn't posted up to 300 times on the forum.


suggestion


1. Number of posts required to vote should not be a criterion or pre-requisite , rather , time of registration.

2. If possible, and if the rule must stand(I.e if you guys insist) , I think it should be slashed to 40-50 as against the extant 300 posts ceiling set.

3. It's not every nairalander that post regularly. We have people who are as old as Seun on nairaland but still have less than 20 posts. Should they be denied a right , despite their loyalty to this great forum , just because they have a few posts? It shouldn't be so.



Seun , I know you are altruistic towards the members of this forum, I hope you exhibit that trait as regards the points raised here.

Hello good Morning,

Thanks for your observation. I'll sleep better if we have just 50 total votes and they are all from very active accounts than from inactive accounts that were resurrected for the contest.

You want valid votes, you want free and fair? I'm giving you those two things.

If you're interested in Miss Nairaland, the least you can do is be active to an extent. It's not a must for everyone to vote. WE DO NOT WANT ALTERNATE ACCOUNTS TO VOTE AND THIS IS FAIR ENOUGH I THINK.

Thank you.

Seriously, I was about sending a mail to that young dude called Dygeasy about that rule..

I have neva given a fork about "Miss Nairaland" for 9 years on this platform but this year being less busy I did, please note I don't intend voting for any of those End Time galz but am concerned that if I wanted to participate my vote would be void because my present moniker was created in march this year nd I won't ve posted 300 comments when Nairaland does not fend for my family..

I am only concerned because you will be disenfranchising so many because of that "martian" Rule..

during the last generation election in the country, not everyone with voter's card could vote. Due to many reasons. Some, their fingerprints couldn't be verified.
You see? Not all of us can vote sir

DrOkoroafor:
Yeah. Like seriously, the minute I saw that rule, I just got tired of the contest. So after all the campaigns, I've been automatically disqualified to vote for the contestant I endorsed?

Smh. I am a very busy man. I registered on Nairaland last year, but I hardly post due to my busy schedules. I work in a Hospital for Pete's sake!
What do you people want me to do? Ignore a patient and come to Nairaland to post numerous comments until I'm qualified to vote in a pageant? That's ridiculous!

I can only throw in some little comments when I am online, and when I have time, I try to support MissGdope. But the organizers, Dygeasy and co have disqualified me for no just reason. No problem. It's all good.


I just hope the qualified ones vote MissGdope. She's the right head for the crown. Vote her!

May the best girl win!!
