Specific Forum Election (in case you couldn't work it out)..
Personally I think this is a good idea, people want to be involved, so give them the chance. I know people in spam seem against it, but if you are going to moan when they do nothing, how can you moan when they genuinely want to improve the forum?
Hopefully it goes well, will you be making a team?
I wont be making one but ill join one if their manifesto appeals to me :P (and it sounds realistic)
I think I'm currently in a team, well we've discussed it :)!
I believe I'm in a team too, seems like a good idea. Can't wait to see everyones idea's!
The only thing I don't like is:

Are you saying if you were someone who enjoys giving feedback around the forum, that being able to put you ideas forward to the Forum Manager for a section of your choice would not appeal to you?Quote:

It is not the direct contact with the Forum Manager that is the prize, it's the being able to have your ideas and feedback used for the section of your choice. The direct contact with the Forum Manager bit is there because I make the decisions of the forum, who else are they going to contact? :P
Clearly not, what I think you are doing is great, I just don't understand how giving you ideas can be part of a prize. Everyone on the forum should be entitled to that, which I thought we were?Quote:

You should be able to put your ideas forward through the means of feedback, a PM and what not anyway because this is what this forum is for ;p. I'm sure those who like giving feedback have no problem posting a thread about stuff, so I do see Rich's point in a way. Not the greatest part of the prizes, but the others are quite nice and it is good to see this return :).
Pretty sure thats what the Habbox Feedback Forum is for. And lets be fair, "ideas and feedback used" is a distance away from what it says in the actual competition where it says "ideas and feedback discussed", as it's not you who gets the final say in what goes onto the forum and what doesn't. You have to also make sure that General Management have no problems with it, or at least every other Forum Manager has had to, or perhaps you're getting a free leash for some reason which gives you the idea to state that "you make the decisions of the forum"?Quote:

There's no point in winning this if the Feedback Forum is there, as it is (or at least should be) one of your duties to reply to things related to the forum in the Feedback Forum.
Moving away from that though, I dislike this idea because of how it's individual people and not necessarily teams like it was last year. The General election thing was funny, quite alot of people got involved cuz there was parties, this just doesn't give the same appeal. You've tried to improve something that was good, and failed to manage it.
