Welcome. Today I interviewed the second candidate, 3RU7AL.
3RU7AL said this about promoting the site and getting it active...
"https://bbs.market/ZLOGIC/posts - - it's easy to reach tons of people here
I also have 35+ members on my discord channel and even more in my contacts list who would be good initiates for DebateArt.com
and 422 followers here - https://hive.blog/@logiczombie
I recently exposed some fundamental errors in the HIVE system and my notoriety has skyrocketed there."
3RU7AL has a way to cooperate with the moderators...
"I will ask the moderators to think about their fundamental goals and principles on which each decision is based. Moderation is, by definition, a normative process and as long as the moderator action is coherent with the stated goal of that specific action, it is justified. I'd love to dissect some specific examples if you have any you'd like me to demonstrate on."
3Ru7AL was asked why he wanted to be president, he stated.
"I was asked if I'd be willing to fulfil the role as defined, and I accepted the nomination."
There you go, the presidential nominee 3ru7al. Go and vote for the presidency tmrw

Yesterday, I was able to speak with Airmax about his plans for the presidency and what his goals are
Airmax's main focus for this election was advertising. He wanted to make an effective ad campaign for DART to function on.
"I believe DART needs to an activity boost to the highest degree. For a site with excellent functionality, there is no reason why we should have only 20 unique members posting in 24hours. While activity is needed, our ad campaign needs to be gradual. A mass spike in users would hurt the site due to people logging in and then leaving. In order to maintain a stable level of activity, we must slowly boost the activity and advertise enough to gradually make this site boom."
In regards to moderation, Airmax stated...
"I believe the moderators are capable of handling their jobs well. I should only have a small input in the say of moderation. I am a person who believes in lassiez fair and current moderation hold my beliefs true."
Airmax stated as to why he is running for president.

"I had a strong urge to come back to the site when asked. I was advising with one of my friends and she actually encouraged me to do this. Focusing on a hobby that I enjoy doing is something that will benefit my mental health overall and gives me something to be passionate about and invest my time into."
There you have it. My interview with Airmax. There will hopefully be an interview with 3RU7AL coming soon!

I am also hopeful that we can start an ad campaign to garner traffic to the site so we can get new users to come and engage on the site
2 goals for the future

I would not ban either you or Luna, and hell, I wouldn't even give a warning. I'm saying that administrations in the past would. Remember your whole fiasco with David and your 2 month ban.

My leniancy applies to you and luna. Both of you have said stuff that David/Virt would most likely ban you for (no offense to them). I am much more lienant in what I do ban and don't ban for

This was review by both moderators and they allowed me to do as such
1. This thread is not harassment. This is the biggest thing about this thread that decided us to unlock it. People are calling you out or your behaviors, not harassing you
2. It does not matter what happens. You and luna will continue to bicker at each other in threads that aren't this one until time can tell. There is no point in me blocking this one when you will just go at it in a different thread
3. Moderation is not babysitting

Well I can't say how your personal experience is with Ragnar is, but if it makes you feel better, we technically can override a decision he makes

Can the user see who is reporting what posts? No.
And that is simply not true. TheRealNihilist is banned from reporting posts due to his overreporting, so we are allowed to disclose.
Most of the current mod team shares the same view I have, so your response you get what from Ragnar or Whiteflame is similar to what I would say. So you avoiding me does no good but makes yourself look foolish

I tend to agree. LBGQ+ month do nothing for the actual cause and instead inflate this idea that by changing their profile picture to a rainbows, they are doing a good thing. It's manipulation. "Oh look at me. I have a rainbow to show I'm active, buy my product. 5% of the revenue from my purchase goes to some LGBTQ+ charity."

I believe you are referring to this section...
5. If a user’s content includes unwarranted (or excessively toxic) systemic vulgarity and invectives, which may include off topic personal attacks and/or hate speech, moderation shall:a) FIRST, request the user cease & desist such behavior.b) IF adequate time passes and A is ignored by the user, OR IF the user complied initially after A but again unapologetically engages in unwarranted (or excessively toxic) systemic vulgarity and invectives, which may include off topic personal attacks and/or hate speech, moderation shall issue a 30 day ban and repeat A.c) IF the user continues to defy moderation after the 30 day ban, moderation shall issue a 90 day ban and then repeat A.d) ALL additional infractions after C shall be met with bans according the formulay=6(x2)y=6(x^2)y=6(x2)where "y" equals ban time in months and "x" equals the number of infractions after C.
We are hosting soon after the election is over to reform this set of rules. Please do vote on it

Frankily it is a tough decision to ask. I doubt that DART has the funding to launch a massive ad campaign on the internet to promote site activity. It isn't backed by a major company like Juggle was

I'd agree and fair on asking for whiteflame, I am just stating my opinion on it. I agree with you, but I am an enforcer of the rules

My issue with that statement is that Airmax is running for a position that can directly influence moderation, which is a fair reason to call out someone because they will have a position of power. Hence why Luna's why you shouldn't vote RM thread was not taken down, hence why Airmax's thread against him was not taken down. Because they are running for a position that would grant them power
Luna made a post about RM after his withdrawal, and thus is not fair game for the call out thread, since he is not running for a position in power, thus making him a regular user, a violation of the CoC
As I said, if you would like the reform that rule, feel free to lead the charge

If you want to lead a call to action for the next MEEP where we get rid of the call out rule. Feel free to do so. I was able to do as such with RO's and making a more effective system.

@Mikal
Call out threads themselves are not allowed by the CoC. If you would like to protest that and have a call to action, that is fine. In fact, I would be in support. I am speaking as someone observing the action and my take on it and enforcing said rule
RM's thread was about Airmax's presidency. It's perfectly fair to call out a candidate in their campaign
Luna's thread came after the withdrawal by RM, technically making it a call out thread, thus it is against the rules.

The ban was done by Ragnar, who he likely notified to close the account, so ask him

If you believe that Airmax is a better fit for the site over you and stepping down is the only way of doing so, that is your choice and I commend you for that decision.
You led an effective campaign that managed to get lots of traction. Hats off to you RM. While I may disagree with you on some issues, you are an essential part to the community and hope you continue on this site
