Hello, and welcome to the inaugural TiBB Moderator Elections.

The TiBB Apprentice contestants have become two forum political parties for their last task, and now they go head to head against each other for your votes.

Both parties have written speeches addressing you, the TiBB members, outlining the policies they'd implement or enforce if you were to vote them to win the Moderator Elections. In order to ensure you vote for policies and not members, the two speeches will be posted anonymously.

Here are links to the two party's speeches and a summing up of their policies.

Party One's policies are:
- Listen to members more, relaxing rules on what can be said by creating the wanted 16+ forum
- Ban negative posts in appreciation threads but open an unappreciation section to allow negative views
- Limiting the amount of big forum games you can play to encourage new members
- To introduce guest moderating
- Validation period for new members

Party Two

Party Two's policies are:
- Have a number of active moderators in specific sections
- Better moderation and distinction of Chat and Games and General Chat
- Stop problems before they occur
- Stop deleting messages if they are posted in capitals
- Better checking of spelling and grammar


--------------------


You can now vote for the party that you want to win the first TiBB Moderator Elections. Note that the winning party will not actually become moderators, but they will win the TiBB Apprentice task and automatically make the final.
