If such, maybe all subscribers should be messaged as for the recent 'i don't use engine ' thing ?

You could still add a 'not interested' option into the mods list ?

Everybody was made to tick the box that they will not use engines so everybody should take part in the voting as the game mods will decide who has violated what was being ticked.
And I fail to see the logical connection between having to tick the box pledging no engine use and having to vote for game mods.

Originally posted by Mad RookYeah I agree. I feel like it's unnecessary for everyone to vote. I would guess that the forums are a pretty decent representation of the RHP community as a whole, and it doesn't seem silly to me for 300 or so votes to be enough. Having all 20000 or so vote would be equivalent to having every person in the USA voting for the president, kids and all. It doesn't help the vote to have more people if they have absolutely no idea who the people up for the vote are, or what they're about. People would just go to the votes section, and vote for the Tebb, Gatecrasher, and Korch because they have the most votes.
