Vote for porn!

[icarus]

And now! As if you didn't have reason enough to vote for our LJ Advisory Board --

xanphibian says: "If you vote for legomymalfoy, rm, or squeaky19," she will write at least 200 words of comment porn for you.

-- how's that for motivation?

It isn't a good thing.

What's happened over the weekend is the "just for the lulz" candidate, jameth, was in the lead. He has an election team. A comm devoted to covering his election. Posters (I like the one about cake). Has been stumping for votes for quite some time and talking it up in the LJ IRC chat (I didn't even know there was an LJ IRC chat).

Then fandom woke up to the fact that there was an election and started voting. His lead vanished.

Then he started squawking about "election fraud!" and "sockpuppet accounts!" He's also made veiled accusations against the LJ Abuse team, suggesting they have something to do with his slide in the polls.

I spent a lot of time talking to him yesterday. I wanted him to stop his group from putting flashing icons in an epileptic's journal. He tried one excuse after another but bottom line refused. I got the impression that 1) he's totally full of shit, and 2) he doesn't believe any of his accusations, he'll just do anything to win.

Yeah, I've been following several of those links you posted over the last few days. I don't want him to win either, which is why I voted for someone else. He's an asshat, and even if the position on the Advisory Board should turn out to be no more than a cardboard badge, I don't want him to have it.

(I didn't even know we'd reached election stage yet, let alone that there was campaigning. Shows how much attention I pay to LJ. *facepalm*)

That said, I'm voting my conscience, not whomever someone tells me to vote for. :)

*chuckles* It looks like a cardboard badge to me.

But whoever's elected will be working on the same board as Lawrence Lessig, author of Free Culture, and one of the driving forces of the Creative Commons movement. I don't want someone who'll make us look like total idiots, and I don't want someone who doesn't understand fandom.

If voting for legomymalfoy keeps jameth off that board, then I'll vote for her. If we have a huge surge in fandom votes and that fool's out of the picture, then I'd prefer rm, my original choice, because she's part of otw_news.
