"i am sorry i don't quite understand what you mean. i am very open to suggestions " Hmm, maybe if I put it this way? If the owner of this site wants to keep under control who gets AOM here and don't want the members to decide on this, then at least don't offend us with a caricature of a vote. Choose your AOM, or let some etablished artists and their fan groups do this job. (that's the reason for this change anyway, isnt it?) Just don't bore us with kinky "anonymous committees" and don't pretend that we members have any influence on who gets AOM. That's what I would call a bit more honesty. Furthermore, if I make a decision about whatever, I don't need to hide myselve behind a "anonymous committees" only people who plan to abuse their privileges or are unsuitable for a certain job have a reason to stay anonymous. And if a commitee don't respect the members here but is just so afraid of them that they don't dare to tell them who they are and who they nominated, then all this AOM voting don't makes much sense anyway, does it? Feel free to ask again if you still don't get my point. ;) As for a suggestion, nothing was broken so don't try to fix it! kind regards Thomas
