Weekly Judges - Nominations

Every six months, we swap out our current 5 site judges for new judges. The next rotation is in September.
The job requires commitment and free time. All poems on the nominations page must be read and considered by each judge, then their individually-picked top 3 choices must be messaged privately with points and comments every Sunday to whoever is in charge of posting contest results. Judges are given the power to place their votes themselves.

Many people have found and will find themselves overwhelmed by the workload, but their contribution to the site is momentous and appreciated.

Being a judge means being unbiased and thick-skinned. An ideal judge possesses good judgment, a sound comprehension of poetry, and a determination to uphold the standards of quality on PnQ.

We have no current restrictions or rules denoting who is fit to hold the position.
There is no age limit.

Judges will not be repeated if it can be helped, but most of you do not know who has judged and who is judging. Therefore, nominating poets is a somewhat blind task, but it is extremely helpful for the moderators.

In this thread, nominate as many poets as you like. These will be our candidates. Please be realistic and pick people who would be well-suited for the job. If your name is nominated, post whether you accept or decline the nomination. If your name is not nominated, nominate it yourself. Poets with the most nominations will be considered the most seriously.
* Also, please write the poet's screen name, not their actual name. Unfortunately I may think they are two different people if I am given two different names :)
Thank you!

X counts for 1 vote.

EDIT:
Members no longer on this site will not be included in the list. I have probably included some that aren't here so correct me. Also, I think there would be too much controversy over having a moderator as a weekly judge, so for now I will leave moderators out :)

If you are a current judge, you don't need to accept or decline unless you want to be trixy and throw people off. You will be swapped out at the end of August no matter what.

I vote for Narphangu.

Thanks, Jane! :)

I nominate:

-Lady Nik.
-Nana
-Courageous Dreamer (Temps)
-Rabea Jadallah

No problem. Updated.

Again, guys, please use screen names because I'm afraid I don't know everyone's "real" names, so it makes it hard to tally votes.

What is Brianna's screen name?

I believe she means Lady Aureus Argentum.

Thank you so much!

I spelled it wrong originally, you may want to check it.

Perhaps tomorrow... I'm going to sleep. Goodnight :)

Yeah, true, Temps. I meant her.

I vote for:

Jane (Silvershoes)
Hold Your Heart

My votes:

Britt
The Poetess
Ms Sunshine
Rabea Jadallah

Hellon, I did a copy and paste from my cell phone. It is not. Very easy and something that I have just recently learned to do.

My votes:

Mera Luna
Courageous Dreamer
The Princess
Kiko

I accept nominations, Id be up for being a judge

Again, Hellon, I accidentally copied his name with the others from the best critique list.

When I realized it I fixed it.

I apologize for the human error.

I do almost everything from my cell phone and, yes, I make mistakes.

As for me being the someone who nominated bob, i did not know that he left, cause i have been busy with the life i have away from the net. just been signing in to talk with my members/assist. for a moment to make sure that they know i am still around... and i picked bob cause he fits, and i am disappoiiinted to know he left while i?was busy with finals cause he was about to help me edit a poem when i am done.

:p

Not just by looking at the list...

Hellon, what is the real issue here? What does it matter how or why I THOUGHT of judges to simply NOMINATE?

There is more to this and I feel that you are nit picking at me because I offended you or something.

I should not have to explain how I made a copy and paste error. I made one, end of story.

Answer to your question, dear Hellon... About an hour ago for me.

Hey, sorry to do this (especially since I already accepted), but I'm realizing that I'll be starting as a freshman in September and I'm honestly not sure how much time I'll have for this. I don't want to compromise the site if it turns out I'm too busy, so I'll have to decline after all. :(

But thank you all for the nominations. I'd love to do it next year. :)
