 If I win or tie with Roxas, can I abstain? I apologize to everyone, but please understand, it's a personal thing - I want to win in May so I can be displayed on my birthday month. :) (June >_>) --{{SilverCrono/Sig}} 15:50, 14 February 2011 (EST)

+==Mid-voting ineligibility==
+{{LapisScarab|time=13:40, 25 February 2011 (EST)|inverse=SilverCrono was made a moderator before the featured user was decided. The rules very clearly state that staff members cannot receive the award, so Crono is ineligible. Chitalian pointed out that during the first month, maggosh won despite being made a staff member just like Crono. However, this is because ''both'' of the only two nominees, maggosh and ShardofTruth, were made staffers at the same time, and we needed to pick a winner. That is not the case this time. As much as I think Crono would deserve being the Featured User, the nomination rules explicitly bar staff members from winning.}}
+{{Chitalian8|time=16:20, 27 February 2011 (EST)|talk= I guess it makes sense, though I do think that Crono should be made the FU. Also, according to a new rule made by Kryten, now the Featured Users must have constructively helped the wiki in some way. Therefore, Roxas would also be considered ineligible. If Crono's nomination is rendered null, then the win would go to Inexistent.}}
+{{The Inexistent|sheath='''This is getting too complicated.  Next time someone see's Kryten on the IRC, ask him who should win.  Doorsey's on right now, so I'll ask him to comment here.'''}}
+Never mind, I got the logs.  {{The Inexistentsig}} 16:45, 27 February 2011 (EST)
+==How Many Times Could a Featured User Win, if a Featured User Was So Good?==
+{{Xion4ever|time=17:58, 1 May 2011 (EDT)|text=I'll get straight to the point: How many times can a person be nominated/win the award? Before I continue I want to stress that I ''do NOT have anything against any past, present, or future user who in in the position I stated above.'' I simply want to get this matter straight and acknowledged for future reference. In this month's [http://www.khwiki.net/KHWiki:Votes_for_featured_users#June_2011 case], we have a user nominated again for the award. No big. However, this user has already been previously nominated AND won the award [http://www.khwiki.net/KHWiki:Votes_for_featured_users#March_2011 months] previously. Should we create a policy for a strict limit the amount of times a person can win this award? ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution Yay] politics!)
+I don't see much point in having the same user/group of users to be shuffled about in the nominations varying months only to win the award multiple times. Not saying they aren't great editors who deserve to be acknowledged, but it's time to give other's a chance. Are there other users who are just as good (in their own way)? Sure. Are there other users who don't have such caliber? Of course. When I say "in their own way," I don't mean they're awesome pals who don't know much about Wiki editing/writing, but know how to make talkbubbles, or they're the quiet hard worker who can write a full article on their own. I'm talking about users who have their own strong points: Lapis with his appearance article sections, Kryten/Neumannz/others for their all-around great editing, Guardian Soul/Erry/Shard of Truth/others for their image skills, etc.
+Back to repeated winning users: We all know which users are noteworthy and good. Visitors to the Wiki can find such people through the past Featured Users page as well as user conversations here on the Wiki. We're supposed to show our amazing editors, right? How can we effectively "show off" if we use the same users over and over? Or, do we not have as many amazing editors as we thought? (I know this last question is a lie, I can think of multiple users who qualify as amazing).
+So, I propose this: Remove/focus less on the "X user helped out during Y month and did a great job!" and instead focus on the overall work they've done. A user could be an amazing user, yet not be as active in that month. Also, I say we limit the number of times a user can be nominate/win this award. Listen, guys: We all know who the hard working and Wiki-Princess editors are.}}
+{{Chitalian8|time=18:16, 1 May 2011 (EDT)|talk= Inexistent didn't win that month, Crono did.}}
+{{Xion4ever|time=18:19, 1 May 2011 (EDT)|text=You are correct. I apologize for my ignorance. However, I still keep my propositions in tact, both for future reference and in the case it should ever occur.}}
+{{The Inexistent|dusk='''To start:'''
+*''Nominations should put emphasis on the user's edits for the last month. While a user's lifetime edits should certainly be taken into account, it should be possible for a hard-working "newbie" to be the Featured User, if they outshine other editors in that month.''
+'''This rule is one of the originals, and has never been revised.  Edits for the month are emphasized in order for the newer editors to still have a chance.  I don't really understand what benefit would be gained by focusing on lifetime edits ''only'', or just mainly.  [[KHWiki_talk:Votes_for_featured_users#Fifth_Month|This has been discussed before]], and you voiced your opinion in favor of dividing worthiness between the month's edits ''and'' lifetime.'''
+*''Any editor who was nominated one month prior to this voting session is ineligible to be nominated this month.''
+'''This rule, on the other hand, has been revised.  I had originally written it so that a user nominated this month would be ineligable for ''two'' monthes following, as opposed to only one.  As I've seen, the only editors that have been nominated a second time have won the second time through (ex. Soxra, Chitalian).  Either way, this prevents someone being nominated 10x over until they get no votes (the Room Coar effect).  AND, in the event someone was nominated every other month for a year, I would then leave them a message to discontinue the practice for a while (I will add a rule now).'''
+*''To keep any one person from sweeping the awards, any editor can only win once.''
+'''This is like every other featured system on this wiki.  A media or article can only be featured once, and so can a user.  It was an honest mistake, because that month was confusing (with the talk page locked, four nominees, and a separate featured user on this wiki and on the wikia).'''
+*''Any editor who currently holds a staff position is ineligible for this award.''
+'''This is perhaps one of the most important rules.  If it wasn't in place, honestly, somebody like Kryten would win every month.'''
+*''We all know who the hard working and Wiki-Princess editors are.''
+'''[[KHWiki_talk:Votes_for_featured_users#Month_Whatever-this-is|This argument also occured]], and resulted in the talk page being locked.  Roxas, unfortunatly, is now gone, because he couldn't take the constant ''he's a wiki- princess'' crap.  In all honesty, in the way it was happening, it was ''cyber bullying'', and therefore I will never use that term to refer to anyone ever again.  He helped users more than anyone else, and yet we drove him away.  I know this really has nothing to do with your statement, but it had to be said.'''
+'''I hope that this answers all of your questions and concerns.  If you have any more, please don't refrain from asking.'''}}
+{{Xion4ever|time=17:32, 2 May 2011 (EDT)|text=Wonderful explanation, Inexistent. Thank you for the nice summary. It is greatly appreciated. ^_^}}
