New AF Board Member: Nominations Open to Saturday 19 Oct 2013

Can you create a totally new section far beyond this PC world we reside in the WC. A section where vice runs rampant, a place where we as “professionals” can be free to speak as we wish, be as crude as we want, and let flourish the innate animials we have hidden within ourselves. If you would be so kind as to present this idea to the power who be.

#62

Why is full crudity necessary? And how is that a benefit to better financial analysis and career progression?

This is AF, not AFF.

#63

I agree. I don’t want AF to have a full out of control section where people curse, post a ton of NSFW stuff, and run rampant. If the IT folks in my company see I visited a site that has that type of stuff (even if I never look at that section), it’ll look really bad for me.

#64

How do you benefit personally by devoting time to being a board member or moderator?

#65

Water bottles and dop kits galore!!!

#66

Free Schweser shirt, but it only comes in XS.

Edit: ^Damn it.

#67

HAHA. I lol’ed.

#68

Greedy financiers! Have you guys ever heard of one person one vote? I’m here to vote Bchad down. No one here waste more of my time than Bchad. If it can be said in two sentences, he will say it in 30. Totally useless.

#69

Stormy, full of fun.

Build your own website; then give

One person, one vote.

#70

Based on response in the other thread I nominate Systematic.

I think he just gets it…

#71

Haikus rock.

#72

I am interested.

If not successful, CFAvMBA has my vote.

#73

OK as of Friday at noon, there have been

24 names mentioned

1 nomination accepted

4 nominations declined

1 nomination conditionally accepted (but condition not met)

1 self-nomination (JOE2010) not yet seconded

Those who want to accept nomination need to do that within the next day. So far it is just itera in the running. (Personally, I think would be a conscientious board member and moderator, but that’s no reason not to have some competition here)

The following table is my list of who has been nominated, who has accepted/declined nomination, and who has yet to accept or decline.

Names parentheses indicate who was the first to nominate them (mygos gets two nominators because greenman’s sounded tentative). If mygos’s post number is close to the requirement and there is enough support, we can consider mygos.

Each time I saw the name mentioned in the thread, I added a 1 to indicate at least one additional supporter. People had no limit on the number of candidates they could support so far, so the numbers are not fully comparable. I also started that counting system midway through the process of recording and came back to the beginning afterwards, so there is a small chance of some double counting (no time to go back to the start right now).

Ramos4rm nominated the most people, followed by Greenman. There is no prize for this achievement, but it was interesting to note.

#74

I humbly accept.

#75

Freudian slip?

#76

I didn’t even realize i was nominated, thanks BSM. I Accept on one contingency, i rule supreme and have full power. That would mean everyone else would have to step down, i think dictator is the correct term.

#77

AF would crumble to the ground if I were a moderator. Please change my response to DECLINE.

Second Bro.

#78

If itera becomes boardmember, AF should have a rule that he must write all AF official policy messages. Because this would be awesome and hilarious. It also seems like his “top two” philosophy has been unofficially endorsed by AF, as we can see in the logo, where only one person is celebrating and the other two are moping in sadness.

s2000 seems like a good choice, particularly because he spends a lot of time on the CFA forums. I just worry that we would be ruining his life; instead of riding horses and doing fun stuff, he would be forced to spend time policing a bunch of whiny people like us.

#79

Your condition won’t be met. Should I put you down for accept or decline?

#80

^ Someone ought to make a master thread of all of the fussin’ Itera and I have gotten into where he would throw down his Top 5 or don’t bother tidbit and I’d twist and distort it to a Top 2 or expurgate your sack with a rusty hacksaw.

There were a coupla doozies out there with Greenman, Itera, and myself having at it. Good ‘ol AF fussin’ and feudin’.

This will be a divide and conquor Ohai; S2000 will ref the CFA forums ensuring no one is breaching copyright infringement or sharing exam content while Itera will police us here and probably end up banning me for one of my frustrating rants about MCD, brown folks, or a porky blonde stealing my wallet.
