What a mess that was. Jokes are one thing,
If I did something illegal, I hope you report it and that some GM bans me from the forums. Because I really can't stand people who break the rules in BB. Even though I personally think this game is a joke sometimes, rules are rules.
Otherwise, stop taking things so seriously. And if people can't bother to figure out which candidates are joke candidates or actually ask real questions of the candidates that's not my fault or anyone else's. At least one candidate was begging for a debate with some substance and the jokes had stopped a long time before that.
It is up to the candidates to engage the voters. Did they show up in the game chat to try and talk to people in division III and lower? Did they get on the off-site forum to say how they would run the team next season? What did they do exactly to merit a vote?
And personally I think the issue here is you had four solid candidates. All of them would have done a great job. So people probably just felt that there was no point in voting because there was no clear "winner" candidate.
