I'd like to add more to my previous post...nominees are supposed to be members for at least 90 days, that's plenty of time to make lots of friends here.

Also, the original election was supposed to nominate/elect people who have positive influence, so I hope if people self-nominate, there will be people seconding those nominations, just to ensure friendship and positive influence of the self-nominee...

and...if non-winners are supposed to have a certain percentage of the vote (is it 5% or 10%?) to be placed on the following week's ballot again, the self-nominating people need to be aware of that and be certain they can gather at least 10% of the current vote, they'll really need to be prepared to generate votes, if they can get at least 1 vote per day for the week of the election, that's all it would take to get about 10% right now.

Is the 10% of the vote rule still in effect for being on the ballot again, or are all 3 non-winners just placed back on it, regardless if they didn't get a certain percentage of total votes?

I don't think a new rule or forum is needed for self nomination.

Now on the other hand we were talking about having an award for the top Network Marketer. That discussion may have been in another thread of forum. That is something that deserves more attention and should not be lost. It would indeed take some putting together, maybe by a team of people.

If there is someone who wants to be nominated and they do not feel comfortable in nominating themselves they could talk to one of the coaches.

Is it going to Happen.Where should we start.Who wants to build the forum for it if we do this.
Looks Like the few people in this forum have the say because we are the only ones that give our feedback.

We got 60 Votes in the last POTW we can Beat that Number.

So i say Lets Get It ON.

Right now I am seeing many forums under the heading of Feature of the week (Person of the week), I am just wondering if this is just going to get very confusing to many people?

Is there some way to make this process more simplified and easy for everyone?

I know that I can be as thick as a brick at times so just wondering?

Topic: Self Nomination

First, Keep It Easy

Where To do it?

No need to build another forum when it is already here. Anything related to voting, suggestions, eligibility, feedback, POTW, POTY, VOTW, can be done in main forum.

New thread?

No, why do another thread in the main forum when it is already here. Just change the name by editing the first landing page.

Example: Members Suggestions and Request To Be Nominated.

Public Or Private?

Keep it open and upfront. What are you afraid of? All you are doing is asking to be nominated and that you would like to run. If it is seconded, you are good to go. Doing private mailings causes more work for others.

ANOTHER NEW THREAD?

Again, you are doing what is already here, If you are nominated, in the Suggestion thread, and if you are watching, is where you can agree, or decline form running at this time. When I was nominated in the Suggestion thread, it was easy as I just stated: “not at this time,” in one place. Nominated in one place and moving to another to agree or decline, why?

RULES AND INFORMATION

The opening pages (threads) should be reconstructed with all the information and rules for that thread. The Main Forum has it general rules and information and each opening page (Thread) should have its own rules that apply to that thread with all the correct information regarding it. It is the first thing you see when clicking on that thread and should grab the attention to all visitors with the new information for that thread, what it is for, what you can and cannot do, and how to make sure that they know to read the new information, then move to the last page and work back to see where the discussion, if any, is the topic of choice.

Open For Discussion

I made some improvements and changes for the openingVoting Page and not heard anything. Please take the time for the ones that are putting in the work to a least get back to them with some kind of response.

Hello Everyone, I am going to do my best to stay on topic and keep this related to POTW Feedback. I must say that for some reason I'm sure I have noticed this thread before, but to my knowledge have never clicked on it, and boy what I've been missing! Good stuff. I just got through going through all what is almost 100 pages of this. Way too much for me to read so I had to skim it. There are 3 main reasons why I have always loved ALP, even though I have been inactive for a good portion of the many years I've been a member here. 1) I love the people. People like Kathleen who engages me when I'm here, and encourages me to come back when I'm not, she is one of many great friends & I'll stop so as not to leave some out. 2) On topic, another reason is because I have always loved the POTW, VOTW, POTY, etc. This is honestly one of the main things that keeps me here and when I'm not as active keeps me coming back. Not sure why at times so few are interested? And I must say that Dennis, Jim, Mark, and many others are doing a great job in this and so many other parts of ALP. Barry too. 3) Advertising, I have to admit that this is one of the big purposes for me, for us being here as well. And I'll say that I know my approach is not always the best, and I sincerely apologize. In fact, maybe some would say that I'm a spammer? I do think that since I have had periods of inactivity away from ALP, that I have definitely noticed less success in my biz when I'm NOT here! I must also say that I have shared Bogdan's wonderful video, and I am when I'm here both on this site and others (as I've always believed in being a member of multiple sites but maybe most of us do have a favorite one?) promoting ALP and POTW. All I can say is keep up the great work. Thanks for allowing me to chime in. Oh and one last thought for now. I do think that maybe sites like Facebook have lured some people away, but again it is feasible that many of us are members of both ALP and FB as well as other sites, and I personally see nothing wrong with that. I agree that we should be posting positive stuff, promoting ALP, encouraging others, not nit-picking at least as a vendetta against others, and definitely not spamming & abusing the forums even the ones that are business-oriented. Again, I'm sorry for anyone that I have ever offended as my intention is not to hurt people. I've seen it mentioned many times in these threads that sometimes things are perceived the wrong way. I think we should be able to discuss the topics at hand like POTW feedback, that we should basically be able to say whatever we like without cursing or being belligerent, but as professional and in a civil manner. Thanks, Steve
