    Default Bestow "In Memoriam" to JayBell?

    A number of people have obviously nominated Jay for an "In Memoriam" title.

    As per our process for such:
    http://forum.pafoa.org/support-sugge...ml#post1227512

    The staff have approved the nomination, and now it moves to a public poll, which will be open for a week.

    So, what say you?

    My guess would be someone voting on a phone.

    No need to shit this thread up with your discontent. As everyone seems to be so fond of saying lately: if you don't like it, don't post. Move on.

    In case you don't recall, this process started up because of concerns that someone could potentially make a similar request for someone the staff didn't really know that may not be deserving of the title. Giving users a chance to vote and post about the individual in question provides a vetting process. It was never meant to be a popularity contest, and so far in the cases we've used it, it never has been.

    I understand that Jay doesn't really need to be vetted, but Jay was also one who followed the rules to a tee. I don't think he'd want special consideration, so we're running the poll anyway.

    Please keep this thread on-topic.
