There is only one way to settle this: a rap battle. This is the sacred way of the DARTian people.

What does a secretary even do?
No idea, but I am going to assume that they are volunteering to help out. I tend to call upon those volunteers as needed.

Nothing that moderation started. It sort of sprung up organically.

@TheHammer
I reached out to you via PM. If I can corroborate your information, RM will not be disqualified. I do, however, need to corroborate your claims. I certainly believe, based on this comment, that at least some of the information you have provided is accurate. I also want to say that I truly appreciate you coming forward.

What is your take on the scope of your influence? How many actual voters did you contact?

I will wade into this later today when I have more time. I have seen it, and will be talking to RM and Supa about it. In the meantime, I would ask everyone to remain calm. Thank you.

Sorry. You have less seniority than Bench. You are the peasant.

@Imabench
lol. I like Queen Bench of Arendelle. You can be that, with the official duty of spreading primary polling cheer wherever you go.

I am currently in the process of gathering write-ups for the inducted users. Once that process is complete, the pinned Hall of Fame thread will be updated with the inductees' particulars. It is my hope that this can all be completed by mid-November at the latest. Hopefully, that will be possible.

Attention
The voting stage of the Hall of Fame process is now closed. I will now verify the vote count, and will post a certified final tally, officially announcing the inducted nominees and/or identifying ties which need to be resolved. In the meantime, this thread will now be locked.

@Vader
I also want to add that this was not support by me and I WOULD NEVER do such a thing to rig the elections in that light, and I apologize on Wylted behalf. I will make a full apology about this on Discord and such, as this hurts my reputation as well...and am truly dissapointed his actions would lead to this...the opposite
I do not doubt your honesty and integrity in this matter. The evidence of which I am aware does not implicate you in any wrongdoing, which is partly why this is all so unfortunate.

Attention
It has come to moderation's attention that Wylted has launched a campaign on Discord in order to influence the results of the HOF election. Based on screenshots and testimony from other users, Castin and I have independently concluded that this campaign did in fact take place.
In order to prevent this Hall of Fame from being swayed by this campaign, all votes cast for Supa (the beneficiary of Wylted's campaign) within the past 12 hours will be voided, except for Supa's own self-vote. The end time for the Hall of Fame election will also be brought forward. The Hall of Fame voting stage will now end at 11:30pm, EST, today (approximately 13 minutes from now).
All users were warned that campaigning was strictly prohibited. If you want someone to win, vote for them, don't campaign. There is a teachable lesson here: if you break the rules, you will lose.

@RationalMadman
Some guidance as to that possibility has already been provided in the OP. Specifics will be announced if and when that situation arises. A plan is in place.

@Vader
They will be neither. They are entirely unofficial. But if the practical result of people running for positions that don't exist and which have no formal authority is that they then pledge to help out on the site, I am all for it. Communities often have informal, unofficial leaders, and that's what I see these secretariats as being.

@Vader
Lol. I endorse all those who decide to run. I mean, why not? It's great that people want to take on some responsibility and help out.

@bmdrocks21
Are these real positions?
No, not really. But if people want to help out on the site by being "secretaries" for their forums, that's great. I admire and appreciate that people are stepping up to the plate as members of the community.

@RationalMadman
I'll count the three votes, plus a change. Once you've cast three, you can still have one change. Or once you've cast one or two and then changed one of those, you've used up your change.

A ban involves a revocation of membership privileges. Spacetime is banned, so he will not be able to vote. It's a consequence of his own decision to multi-account.

Wylted already had the opportunity to cast his votes. Those votes will be counted. He'll be back shortly and I am sure he'll have more to say upon his return.
