Unfortunately Kevin is still clamouring for a vote in the upcoming OzChess election.

He goes on to state:

The rules of the election which I posted a few days ago, and which have not changed since that time, are quite clear.

Posters can nominate candidates even if those candidates have not sought out the position.

The highlighted rule states that only 'accounts', and emphasis on that word - accounts - that have made ten (10) or more posts get a vote. The meaning of that is plain on its face.

Kevin's 'account' has zero posts. Hence, unless Kevin changes that by posting ten times, he will not be allowed to vote.

Deleted hydra accounts are not accounts within the meaning of rule 3, and even if they were - rule #4 would apply to preclude them.

Indeed, to change the rules now that they have been posted and everyone else has played by them, that is the type of thing that would diminish the integrity of the electoral process.

Let me provide a tall tale but true, which will alert all that KB is a nut case.

Way back at the Mt Buller Aust Champs the ACF had it Anal Genetal Meating. There were about 23 eligible voters in the room. The votes were cast and collected for the ACF Presidency. The two nominees were Jessop and Guru. One extra vote was in the pile (23+1). There were 23 votes (unanimous) for for Jessop and one for Sweeney. I had slipped it into the pile. Funny prank, yes? .... No! Kevin "The "the" " Bonham insisted on a second vote to ensure there was no shenanigans.

I rest my case.

LOL

That sounds far fetched. Are you sure about this?

I done it, guilty as charged. He done it, I swear.

It wouldn't be absurd at all, especially if the election is over two weeks away and there is still time for the deleted voter to have their name registered on the roll simply by making ten (10) posts.

It could be seen as hypocriticial for Kev to be insisting to vote in this forum's mod election when he (presumably) does not support them/or actively promote them at chesschat. What is his position over there?

He is accepting and attempting to enjoy higher democratic standards over here in having a vote for mods yet only denigrates the whole process. Bill seems to be more constructive.

I can't see why the knockers at Chesschat are so concerned on what is going on over here, now that I am led to believe that there are no defamation posts on this site.

Surely they have better things to do with their life.
