No? The post minimum to register is 15, and Archon's 16 pre-election posts are unanimously within the 8 weeks preceding the election.

Was that changed recently? I could have sworn it was 20.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

It hasn't been higher than mid teens in years. I remember when it was 50 posts, but that was a long time ago.

Must be confusing it with something else then. Weird, I could have sworn it was always 20 posts to register.
Wait, didn't it used to be 10 posts to register and another 10 posts to be eligible to vote, or something like that?

They were always separate calculations. There is no condition in the Electoral Act of 2016 regarding 10 posts in last 8 weeks.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

His fifthteenth post was not war crimes, his sixteenth was his registration posts. His account was created last February.

He has made 18 posts and all of them after the October 18th threshold. Case closed?

Personally I’d prefer it repinned - I don’t like having to go trawling through the board to find it whenever I want to check it; the thread is also a pretty valuable historical record.

Honestly having it unpinned has been a giant pain in the arse. Would definitely rather have it pinned than not. If anything, just around election time.

As mentioned, cinyc declared too late to appear on the ballot and must run as a write-in.

I am stickying this for the period of the posted election results. I figured that is a reasonable compromise.

In the future I could see doing it for the time period from the posting of the ballot until the posting of the election results.
