Steward elections 2010[edit]

Hi! Thank you for voting but I am afraid that you are not eligible to vote. Regards! --Egmontaℨ 18:19, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yes, I only have like 575 edits while 600 is required. Well gahh, and you call this democratic, and you advertise in every damn wiki that people vote for stewards? Why? Come on! Such spam! --Sigmundur 18:22, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, rules are rules, and how else do you think voting would be safe from abusive single purpose voting accounts? You are sadly on the edge of rules, but there are no exeptions, 600 is the limit. Thank you for your understanding. Regards --Egmontaℨ 18:30, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmh, I guess I was mostly upset since I actually read many of the descriptions and made a deliberate choice; it would've saved much of my time to have some kind of "you're eligible" automatic check somewhere; or even better, not advertising the election to those who are not eligible to vote... -- Sigmundur (talk) 08:49, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
