I quickly (lol) decline. No judging and brain teasing for this girl!

Seems I've already been promoted to Judge. I have all the tools to vote for poems on the Nominations page.

This new site server sure has good taste.

That is odd... does anyone else having voting capabilities?

Haha lol Abby.. @ good taste.

and nope not for me

I have the tools to vote too....

I don't!

I've noticed that the nominations so far are all senior members already. Is this mandatory?

Nope, Hellon. Mods will just have to send the nomination page to non senior members.

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Janis did more harm than good. Let me see what I can do about this voting thing.

If you are not a judge and you have the ability to vote on poems on the nominations page - DON'T.
I repeat, DO NOT VOTE.

LOL I love the !!'s. I would go back and PM all the judges that were up before the new judges (the ones about to end now) went in. I think it was Mel, Abby, Myryn... umm I forget who else.

Can you guys demote Abby/Mel from judge status? Or does that not work either? :/

Abby and Mel are not listed as "Experts," aka Judges. I just demoted all the experts. I'll reinstate them now, see if that works.

Jane

Damn and here I was thinking I was an expert ;)

Oh dear. This is going to be fun!

Abby & Mel, are the voting buttons still available?

Current judges, are you able to vote? Don't answer here. Shoot me a PM.

Wrong thread. Going elsewhere lol

Janey, Mel said she isn't able to vote as a judge, that she is in limbo, the death of PnQ.. lmao

Adfhoiadhfoadnfoieahafoaijdlk

Ok, I'm at a loss. Let me find their accounts and see if anything is noticeably wrong with them.
Then I guess all that's left is writing a message to Dainz.

Alas, I have lost voting power. Good one, Jane!

Just for the record, I've been watching all the fuss and turmoil with chagrined humor.
You need to let everything settle in. Janis should have shut down until the transfer was finished. The process of transfer puts conflicting signals between the servers. It's like tossing a bunch of frisbees between helicopters in a wind storm.
we only lose what we insist on posting during the event. Likewise, the powers will return to normal as well, with some exceptions that will come to light. Heck, I'm hoping. I accidentally get made site admin, then we'll ALL party.

More judge suggestions, anyone? Any acceptances?

I add:

Hellon
Blissful
Italian stallion (Joey :P )
Tara Kay

Melissa
Novalyn Grace RR
Monster
Yaki
Mera Luna
Nicko

Mods need to be available to sub for judges. We've almost all had to do it so far. In fact, mods have stepped in for other mods who could not step in for judges.

Thanks for the info, Larry :)

Abed, why would you nominate someone after they've already declined? Just curious. Makes no sense to me personally.
