I have a feeling that this might be relevant soon. Is there a process for removing names from the DDO Hall of Fame?
Are you going to remove Lwerd from the HoF? Lol.

And I'm not sure if Lwerd qualifies after the most recent relevation. When Charles Dickens uses run-on sentences, it's considered style. When I use run-on sentences, it's considered bad grammar. |

Actually, you only need three votes to block someone, L currently has two. Plus, I don't see how she is a good DDOian - vote-bombing, getting banned, and insults coming to mind. |

The category for best debater is based on quality, not quantity. Her skill is largely judged based on her rank. So what if she is a good DDOian or not - she has skill as a debater, regardless of the scores she's gotten or how she got them. She is an OK debater. That doesn't make one a good DDOian, by any means. I don't care if you win every single debate without voting for yourself, that doesn't necessarily make one an asset to the community. Vote-bombing, getting banned, and insulting other members numerous times certainly outweigh her so-called skill as a debater. HA, and to think she calls other pseudo-intellectuals. |
