"but don't try to apply your logic to everyone else ?"koksvik you seem to be forgetting something important.
We have a chat. There are discussions there as well.
Numbers mean nothing, they are just a vague guide for those who do not know. Post count (so long as it is above the minimum), threads started, content uploaded (which I believe to be not important in the slightest) and even age are the tools of fools.
The more you do of something, the better you get? Not always true, because you don't know about what they did before. You make it sounds like Star and Thad would be excellent candidates, because they have many posts and simply must know what's going on. Someone with 50 posts may have a background in dozens of forums with political or moderator-al powers, and someone with 1000s of posts might just be a spammer.
But yeah, vote for whoever you want, but don't try to apply your logic to everyone else. Well known is not the same as well respected, nor does it mean they represent popular opinion.
isnt that what you're doing right now ? -.-
and yes practical makes master !
and every community is different, so even if there is someone who has 100 million post on another totally different community that would not imply he would be any good in starmade community, every community is difference
