I would like to reiterate something that is mentioned on the MOTD, which people seem to be ignoring.

DO NOT CREATE SPURIOUS AND UNNECESSARY TOPICS! "Nominations" is a perfectly reasonable topic. There is NO REASON to add "-Second" or "-Accepting" to the topic. None. All it does is make it HARDER to find notes in the future because you are breaking the search functionality. (Yes, I am capitalizing because I am indeed shouting.)

Let me repeat that: Creating unnecessary and pointless topics *breaks the search functionality*.

The next dimwit who ignores the MOTD and creates a pointless topic fork will be temporarily banned from posting on the Election Ship. I encourage you to stick to established topics and not test what "pointless topic fork" means.

Just so that we're all clear on that.
