I'm not sure term limits are necessary. While I am a fan of term limits for holders of public office, ENnies Judges don't wield a lot of "real world" power and certainly, I've not known of any becoming convinced of their own superiority and becoming corrupt because of the influence and power they wield. Would I like to see new blood in the ENnies Judge panel? Sure. I voted for two newbies....and three incumbants. I voted for people whose opinions I respected. I don't think forcing people to vote for one newbie is the answer. That will probably turn off a lot of voters. For example, what if all the newbies who are running in a particular year are fairly new to the community and no one knows them? For some, this wouldn't make a difference, but I wouldn't want to vote for a complete stranger. It would be like if my name suddenly showed up on the Presidential Ballot right next to the Republican and the Democrat candidates.Of course, I'm not comparing this selection to the Presidential Race. We're not voting for someone to be the leader of a Superpower. We're voting for gamers to select the year's best products. I would not mind at all participating in a Nominee Discussion Thread, or a Questionnaire of some sort so that the voters can get to know us better. It's so hard to get a feel for someone just from the nomination thread. Reading their posts can help, but not everyone who spends a lot of time at this website posts a lot. I probably spend more time lurking than posting, and if I feel my opinion can contribute to a thread, I offer it. And a lot of the time, what I would have posted has already been said. Hopefully, some of these things will be implemented in future years. I really hope they can get the poll results hidden. I think we've all seen election results skewed when results are announced early. But still, we have a good, civil system here, and I'm happy to be a part of it. And I really appreciate the vote of confidence I've received from the people who voted for me. Thank you!JediSoth</blockquote>
