Do not mind this. You can come up with a thread like this on local board, but you do not need to mention or suggest any user to be selected. The voting is going good and I noticed some people (even that are not Nigerians) selected us. The awareness here is good but the suggestion is not necessary. Also some users may feel like other users also are worth it and may which to select them, not bad if to select them is what that comes to their mind.
I respect you to understand the meaning of campaign sir, anyone that has contrary opinion as regards to the content in the OP can open their own separate thread. Besides everyone has the right to their personal judgement so it's not as if am trying to impose these aforementioned users to the local board. It's just a personal campaign from my end. Anyways, thank you for your opinion.
Any user has the right to conduct campaigning in a separate
thread, specially created for this purpose.
OP you're are on a right track as far as the originator of the major thread has given a go ahead to that effect then you're good to go, mentinoning name or names as the case may be is part of campaign and as a matter of clarity and fact that's part of campaign itself, if a campaigner doesn't mantion name how would people know who he or she is supporting or even campaigning for, is just like signature campaigns too, if you don't have the signature intact and flag on you then you aren't a campaigner of any signature campaign, so op i somuch. Love this initiative of yours, it's a good one.
OP you aren't in anyway forcing anyone not at all personally I didn't see it that way though individual perception differs but I believe that our boss @charles-Tim understands you too.
