Note: Unless someone has a particularly convincing argument doing so, I'm probably not going to actually ban LMS from nominating anything as a result of this topic. My vew below explains my reasoning.
My view: Disagree. I have not seen him breaking any rules, only making nominations that people don't really like. So, considering that I have not seen him breaking any rules, I don't see a reason to ban him. A rule stating that a person should be banned from nominations, whether or not it is actually in the list of rules or not, seems way too subjective for me to actually enforce it and ban people because of it. That said, I can enforce the rule saying I can remove anything, and I am planning to clean up the nominations list soon.
Rules: 1. Nominations must be open to debate. Use words like best, worst, or a variant thereof sparingly. 2. You are allowed to just agree or disagree without discussing the topic, but discussion of said topic is not only welcomed, it's allowed. 3. No alts, no flaming, no rallying, and no trolling. 4. You can nominate up to three different nominations every day. You cannot use them on one twice/three times in one day, and you can only nominate something once. 4a. You can also denominate a potential topic at any of the nomination levels. Denominations use up two regular nominations however, and afterword you can only nominate one item. Also, if you are denoming an item at five, please give a reason as to why. And no, "it is bad" won't work. If the item is denommed at 5, it must be renommed within 3 AoD topics or it will lose its scheduled date. 5. In long posts (IE: over a paragraph) Please bold/do something to your vote so I can pick it out.
Remember: that I can (and will) remove anything I deem worthless, useless, pointless, stupid, or too silly.

Agree, simply because of things like nomming both "Melee is the best Smash Bros. game" AND "Brawl is the worst Smash Bros. game". That's just unnecessary.
He has made a lot of bad noms. But...I don't know, I would rather not persecute someone like that. It's not like he's deliberately nominating bad stuff in order to troll AoD.

nothing IS controversial at all
he just noms a LOOOOT of ****ty stuff nobody cares about, quite often inequality stuff, and quite often incredibly similar to his other noms.

Like I've said before, as obsessed as this guy is with video games, it's surprising how few he's played. He's probably played no more than 4 or 5 of these games.
LMS doesn't need to be banned, BUT he needs to be limited to one nomination per topic. It really is unfair to everyone involved that one person can intentionally spam a list with bad/uninteresting/inane nominations three times faster than another person can denominate them. As such a limit would force him to actually think about his nomination rather than typing out the first moronic thing that comes to his mind.

And now for the greatest tale ever writ by the hands of man: Once upon a time... The End!
I think he just needs to make better judgement with his noms. And think about how most of them are just the same as others. (Maybe also not just limit them to video games?)
So... Disagree, for now. I know it's controversial, but... I think if he understands how people feel about them, he might change them.
Nominate...
America will have another Black President before it has a Female President. (Not sure if you counted this one from last AOD) The Chappelle Show would be the Best Show on Comedy Central Today if it wasn't cancelled.

Because Zach won't actually do anything to limit/remove bad nominations because he apparently doesn't want to hurt anybody's feelings, regardless of what he actually says.
And because, regardless of the nomination system in place, we don't need a nomination list full of inequalities involving popular Nintendo games.

You don't remember when I cleaned some of the nominations before? I'm disappointed :(

I think the only noms you've actually done anything about are ones that could potentially get the topic modded.
But you seem reluctant to institute any sort of control over this thing on your own, and the only reason I can figure is that you don't want anyone to get mad at you.

Actually, a few months ago, there was an AoD topic where I made a list of nominations that might be removed, unless people gave me a reason to keep them. I admit that I haven't been doing this consistently, since I've only done it once! But as I said, I am planning to do it again at some point.
But you seem reluctant to institute any sort of control over this thing on your own, and the only reason I can figure is that you don't want anyone to get mad at you.
It's partly because I am lazy about it, mainly because with the changes to nominations. 5 people at minimum must nominate a topic for it to get in. The only issue now is with the high amount of total nominations, which I've developed a solution for that will mainly show those nominations if you click a link instead of me splitting it into 3 parts.
D I didn't notice any nominations that were too bad. And in any case, him and Ulti nominate many of the same things. Therefore if you're going to ban LMS, you should ban Ulti as well
