I think we need a coordinator 1st as Divepen suggested. Let's chose one.

Alfa or Divepen.

I vote Alfa for coordinator.

macof: 2 awards is too small, why not 5?

I think 2 or 3 is ok. 5 is too much.

Mr Troll: i suggest that the christians should do their nominations and everybody votes likewise the irrreligious should do their nominations while evrybody votes.

Ok. This sounds fair. Let's see what others think.

Sunymoore: I mean Like Christians, they have Catholics and others. What of yours?

Oh! I get it.

No, we are not religious in the sense of organised traditional religion filled with belligerent strife. We are very individualistic with the goal of getting the most/best in this life.

Wu Zetian: I want to win an award oo.

A special title should be created for me, "Best upcoming star of the yr"/"Best agnostic-theists poster of the yr"/"Most peaceful poster of the yr"/"The newest poster of the yr"/........

I like your moniker.
Maybe you should win "The Best New Moniker"

Mr Troll: er... That is gonna be a problem because what the christians will consider a great thread may differ from what the others may think. The idea of best religious poster and best non religious poster is good.

Xtians are a majority here. They will vote to favour xtianity and mock atheism. They will nomiate and elect a shameful moniker as the best non-religious poster thereby making a mockery of atheists. Likewise atheists. Although those categories sound fine, they will bring more disharmony.

Or are you suggesting that xtians don't vote in the best non religious poster as their considerations are different?

Mr Troll: I suggest we limit the awards to a maximum of 5. Some suggesstions here already duplicates...

As for a Chairman, what exactly will be his/her function?

Remember that people will be voting. And voting 5 times does not have the same value as voting once or twice. Remember that vote threads will have to be stickied and 5 categories will fill our front page with only stickies! Making a mockery of the whole thing. And I don't even see the site admin agreeing to it.

Let's limit it at 2 and if there is another very compelling category that should compensated, then we will present it to admin and mods. Thanks.

Ishilove: I disagree. Best overall poster suFfices. No need for too many awards.

Best Religious Poster

Best Irreligious Poster

Best Overall Poster

Religious poster category will encompass all religions vis Islam, Christianity, Paganism etc

Irreligious will cover the atheists, agnostics and co.

Overall best poster is also the most influential poster, so this categories will cut across all faiths and beliefs.

I think we all agree yet on one award that must be given: Best Poster of the year in religion section = Best overall poster.

A second award is required and I don't believe we should encourage division and non participation by proposing factional awards. An atheist may not be inclined to vote for the best religious poster, and vice versa.

I think we should limit awards to general things that cut across all faiths and non-beliefs.

Divepen: I think we will be having trouble here if we do not quicly choose a chairman before we proceed because no matter how we try..if there is no chairman there will be coordination...
If you support the motion just let us know:No time

I will support a chairman who can only call for votes and not one who decides for the rest.

We now have 22 award suggestions. Great.

I don't think we should give too many awards so that the process will have meaning. The more awards we give the less significant they become. I propose we limit the awards to 2 (or 3) only.

I like numbers 1 = 15 = 22 best poster of the year
And number 23 the most influential poster of the year

ifyalways: Dis tori don reach front page already?

Mu che che

Dayo and co,sunday food don land. Its Y''ibo bashing time.

Calling your husbands?

Sunymoore: Okay. Did the satanist have division. I hoped you are bored with my questions

not bored. just confused.

joel lala: Yep, as long as the truth is exposed..

The only thing you are exposing is your illiteracy.

Divepen: So as not to get confused; I will suggest we number them for example if i bring 4 suggestions i will number it to four then the next person will take his number from them so that when we want to vote we can start numerically..

good

Divepen: For agenda one...i will suggest the end of this month

I second this.

It's up for vote now.

Sunymoore: I mean are you a Mason or not?

not

Sunymoore: Okay. Where did you belong

macof: 1. we would definitely be done by the end of the week

At this rate of participation? I doubt it very much.

joel lala: You are not a satanist and not a true atheist..just deluded and confused.

whatever makes you sleep better at night.

Sunymoore: Lemme ask something alfa. Are Mason's satanist. Yes or No

Some are. Some are not.

macof: 2. Best poster
Best thread
Best Christian poster
best pagan poster
Best atheist poster
you guys should add more, this is all I got


4. 3 nominees- must be active on NL and have a post on the religion section not more than 3days ago.

Must have at least 3 topics on the religion section

Thanks. But can we take things chronologically please?

Why don't we decide on item one first which will guide us for the rest?

Alfa with all due respect, the simple majority system you have up there gives an unfair advantage to non-Christians. If there is a vote and all you need is just 4 out of seven then it would effectively mean that the Christians will have no say in the matter, given that they are just 3 out of the 7 member panel.

A better way of voting is by a simple majority of 4, but these 4 must have at least one individual from each sect i.e since we have 2 pagans, 3 Christians and 2 irreligious folks then a fair system should be:

1) Irreligious
2) Pagan
3) Christian
4) Any other member

before a motion is deemed to have been acceptable and not just any simple majority system. This should also be done such that any member has the right to withdraw a previous vote cast if it is done in less than 24 hours.

I don't think so. Seeing that Xtians are already a majority there. If a pettern of vote emerges where non-xtians vote sytematically opposed to xtians, we might consider changing the system but implementing your idea now may complicate matters. We want to keep it simple. Members of the same faith might have divergent views.

joel lala: Hahaha..but everyday Alfa posts different verses from a book...How pathetic and simple.

SMDH. Examplary xtian.

joel lala: Atleast we christians how the bible to speak for us, what has the book of satan actually said about satan creating anything? i am yet to see any sensible reply here...Just show me where in the satanic book that satan created anything and how he did it for us to see.

Still looking for answers in a book. Pathetic.

joel lala: I am here and will always be here..You are the coward..You claim satanism that you dont even know about..You cant even answer simple questions...Everyone is waiting for you to answer them so stop rigmarolling and beating about the bush and answer the simple question.

Your question are foolish.

joel lala: LoL...so you saw how man evolved from the apes you believed into modern man in your laboratory right?

Your illiteracy knows no bounds.

joel lala: Since satan impacted his knowledge directly to his followers (i know you arent a satanist, to weak for it), then the satanists should come out here and state exactly how satan created all things.

Hehe. You want to run away from me? In your own thread? Xtian cowardice has reached a new level here.

joel lala: Typical ad hominen..Nothing sensible for you to say..Meanwhile you beleive in evolution theory written in books..You are just ignorant and foolish..You are not a satanist but a confused deluded fellow..Nothing more and this is what i wanted to prove.

No. I observed evolution with my very eyes. In a laboratory. Do you know what a laboratory is?

joel lala: I am here asking satanist to show us how satan created all things from their satanic bible and none of them can..But i and several other christians can show you how God created all things from the Bible..So why should you tell me to prove that God created all things without reference to the bible when i have permitted satanist to use their own satanic book to prove theirs?

Because Satan is not Yahweh. Satan impacts knowledge directly to His followers unlike yahweh that has to write on stones and dead plants.

I want to make a proposition for a rule that will guide us here.
That whatever we decide becomes binding after it has been voted upon and gathers a majority of four votes. That whatever is set for vote will require a seconding and then 24 hours for everybody to vote on it.
What do you think?

op you are one of those fools that believe anything as long as it is written in a book. Hehe. The mark of illiterates.

What we need to decide are in my opinion,

1 - How long we have before presenting our decision to the forum
2 - What award(s) is to be given this year?
3 - How to nominate
4 - Who has a right to nominate
5 - When to nominate. ie Time limit, etc
6 - How to vote
7 - Who has a right to vote
8 - When to vote. ie Time limit, etc
9 - Rules and what if anything, the winner(s) get.
10- Other matters arising.
