Dear Kathleen,

Thank you for your thoughts, concerns and suggestions, we have made a note of the same.


The BFA Team

Although not strictly "new' to Adlandpro, I have been around for a little while albeit on the periphery I will admit to not understanding what a good deal of this is about.

I have limited time to surf the net or visit the number of communities and groups I belong to, and I must admit that Adlandpro is a firm favourite. I do not always post to a forum that I read, sometimes the time does not allow, or there is not anything for me to add.

I think the BFA team do a great job, and I always read the story on the POTW.

I was unaware of the voting on forums in any great detail until recently, and on the one occasion I went in to have a look and cast a vote I left without doing so, as being somewhat computer illiterate I simply couldnt work it out.

For myself I find the honouring of a person or a forum a great idea. However and unfortunately there is generally a however in life, you will not please all of the people all of the time.

I would personally prefer to abstain from voting than be involved in a community / political wrangle.

Peace Love and Light

Sheila

Dearest Pauline,

I think that John Partington said it perfectly. Without too much philosophy ... simplicity would always be best choice. And ... no one would be offended. Simply, all would nominate 3-5-7 forums ... and 3-5 with the most votes would wait for Bogdan`s amen.

Good for you, good for nominated forums, good for those who nominate ... good for Bogdan.

He (Bogdan) cann`t be shy to say his final decision. When was the storm with Lilly`s forum, I really felt unpleasant all the time, because for the moment I permitted myself to comment about decision related to foreign money .

Also, I must be heartfelt and direct as always and say : you tell "the judges" but I hear Bogdan :) ... and that only is normal.

Hugs to all,

Branka

I agree Luka!  :) Sorry to be absent so much but medical tests are the rule this week!

Love to all! Ms Bev

HI Everyone, I strongly agree that if everyone votes there will be bias, due to the mentioned reasons that not everyone is going to vote, and also there is a greater liklihood of personal preferance. I do imagine that the 3 Judges, atleast the 2 we know of, not only by character but also by position here are more likley than not to take the responsibility and motive and concern to seek to judge fairly based on criteria and not personal preferance. I just believe that. When a person is in a position such as this, not always, but often, they take the responsbility seriously, and fairness is a key responsbility. Yes Bogden could do the final judging, but, is that what he wants; does he have time; would he rather the community be mature enough to do some of the work rather than assign it all to him? We are not children. I think I do agree that it should not be publicized which ones are leading the race during voting...bias again. I really am not comfortable with nominations being public either. Obviously people can be hurt or offended here by seeing themselves "not" included in certain people's nominations. Thanks, Kim S
