Election Results! (self.zoophilia)
submitted 2015-04-16 05:52:50 by [deleted]

Hello!

I can announce that the two elected mods are myself and /u/btwIAMAzoophile.

The four runners up are: /u/Yearningmice, /u/Kynophile, /u/Frostfedora and /u/AliasTheReindeerPone.

Thank you to the voters, and the candidates, for your patience in exercising your democratic rights. The runners-up were given by reverse order of elimination, for anyone wondering.

~ T-V

He wasn't expecting it either, neither was I. That's the nature of STV though - just because the results appear to skew one way doesn't mean they can't be deceptive once calculations have been made.

Edit: Stickied!

Congratulations /u/btwIAMAzoophile, and to you as well T-V. I'm sure the two of you will do a nice job around here.

When the election was announced, I threw something together as a welcome gift for whoever happened to be elected. You can choose whether or not you actually want to use it of course, but as someone with an eye for aesthetics, I fear that /r/Zoophilia's style sheet will soon be the death of me. If you'd like to update things, I'm putting /r/ZetaBeta's design on the table. Just say the word and I can get you the images you'd need in order to transfer the style sheet over here.

Again, congratulations to the both of you, and good luck with whatever obstacles may present themselves in the future of this sub.

That's incredible! Thank you for your generosity, and your humbleness. You're a truly wonderful person, thank you.

I love your design. I'm sure the new guy will too, heh.

As for new challenges, I've heard the 3rd revision of the guidelines will be posted at the end of the month. Brace yourselves.

Edit: typo

I can't decide whether to shudder or grab a bowl of popcorn. At this point, I think I'd be better off going with B and saving myself the headache.

That does look good. I like fact its still kinda covert, I was worried it might be a bit distasteful.

Did you just change the colour of the banner to blue as well? Im sure last time I loaded the page it was like, green (I prefer the blue).

You'll see at the top of the style sheet that I give credit where credit is due. The template was ripped from /r/dscvry, and the flairs were borrowed from /r/CasualConversation. The bulk of my job was making the two get along.

I did make a couple tweaks of my own though, one of which was the header. I felt that /r/dscvry wasn't quite colorful enough. Here are the relevant bits of the CSS I added.

#header {
    animation: fading 120s infinite;
}

@keyframes fading {
    0%   { background: #000066; }
    33%  { background: #003300; }
    66%  { background: #993333; }
    100% { background: #000066; }
}

This tells it that every two minutes, the header should fade from blue to green to red and back to blue. I like the blue header on /r/Zoophilia as well, which is why I started it on that one, but also thought that having a cyclical header would better match the various flairs that will be floating around.

Anyways, glad you like it, I'll send the images and a few notes your way via modmail as soon as I get the chance.

oh thats pretty cool! thought I was going crazy seeing it be a different colour when I switched back to that tab.

Wait a minute, you're not /u/btwIAMAzoophile. Your names are actually about as opposite as could be. My bad. I probably won't be sending you the style sheet then, unless you really want it for some reason. Still, glad you like it, and I'm sure this won't be my last time mistaking the two of you for one another.

haha when you said mod mail I just presumed you meant something else I wasnt aware of.

I shouldve milked that opportunity a bit more :P

Congrats to both of you!

Might I suggest thinking about adding a third Mod? (seems a little self-serving considering the results but I'd be happy to pass to the next qualified candidate 'cause everyone there is excellent) This is just based on the fact that I understand the other mods are not active at all, so a third mod would help with the load?

This sub is small enough that two mods should be able to handle things, really

The day to day work of a mod this size is pretty much just picking out posts wrongfully caught in the spam filter and deleting spam that avoided the filter.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with having more voices and differing opinions on a mod team.

Neat, I think I pretty much voted for all those guys, except frostfedora, gives stinkeye.

I would like to make a quick thanks to allowing me to become a moderator of the community. I would have made this post a bit sooner, but today has been a bit busy for me in several aspects.

I hope I can meet all of your expectations and really bring this community somewhere good.
