So, I'm reposting and reiterating the framework I offered some 70 odd posts ago and that mwandishi reposted as well.
I'm happy to sort something out if folks want me to - it just takes some time and some support from everyone.
Step 1:
Nominate your preferred judges by username only in a PM to me, 3 should do it; seems to be a good way of stopping folks from getting antsy or even just plain rude about the nominations......
Step 2
If you are nominated, I'll get to you once I have a list of names and tally of the votes; you will then be asked if you are interested in participating. I will move down the list if I get a negative response
Step 3
I'll get the nominating thread (where you submit your best shot for consideration) setup for the selected judges
Step 4:
I'll coordinate the final FP's-Got-Talent thread with the admins/mods. It will be in the Showcase area. If it is not started by me or a mod, it is not the real deal.......
