Why are we voting if it's a fairly arbitrary thing done at 500 non spam posts? Can't we just make more work for staff and have you promote people as and when they reach that standard?

I'm still confused. 
 
Just answer this if you could, if I don't like a member's posts because of his/her attitude, am I allowed to vote no and explain my reasoning in the comment section (as has been the case for a long time), or do I now need to automatically vote yes because this user has 500 non-spam posts?

You can always vote however you would like, and explain that vote if you so wish. That is the point of a voting system in the first place.
However, voting no on a nominee who has met the stated requirements of the rank because you don't like their posts would be a shame.

Well, there are certain people I don't like and said I didn't like them, but voted yes anyway cause it felt selfish to vote no just cause I think they're dumber than a box of rocks.

But if 500 non-spam posts are the only requirement, why even offer a vote and cause potential "unfairness"?

For the reasons that I have stated at least twice already.

BRB nominating everyone that has 500 posts.

Then I suppose it won't hurt you to explain it again to the 3+ people here who are having difficulty grasping exactly what the point of voting is if we're not supposed to use our own opinions of a member.

[Futurama]

THERE'S NO ONE TO NOMINATE CAUSE EVERYONE THAT HAS 500+ POSTS ALREADY HAS ADVANCED+. WHAT A JOKE.

Outstanding early contributions and staff might miss spammers.

Although it seems pretty easy to give a cursory glance to posts and check if they're regularly spamming or not.

But I don't care because I never vote anyway.

People died so you could have the vote! For shame...

Clearly not if it requires a minimum of 10 people and 3 days of deliberation to figure it out.

Did Strat grow a small beard and let his hair grow out a little?

[DonValentino]

Guess you should start looking for people with less posts @Futurama

There are people with less than 500 posts that are deserving, you're not one of them. I still love you though.

 

 

 

-edit-

 

 

I found someone to nominate, he/she has more than 500 posts, brb.

I maintain that feminism means I have the right to do things, not that I have to do them. I shall spend the rest of my days barefoot in my country kitchen, avoiding non-gypsy slugs, baking for a man. BECAUSE I CAN.

I don't see it o.o. Guess I'll have to start spiking my hair.

[NapisaurusRex]

I think a problem we're running into is that people have different interpretations of what spam is.

I agree with this statement.

You know that to most people this statement makes you look completely mental, right?

Completely and utterly. But not to you. Or not because of that at any rate.

I'm going to be honest, I never understand the conversations you and Waser have, I just get confused.

Boy, did I call that shit out or what?

I guess that's another thing that the vote and discussion is there to cover.

I highly doubt you're the only one.
