This page is entirely dedicated to BlogClanโs Allegiances.
Here, you can:
talk about the allegiances
campaign to become a senior warrior
ask for vouches
look for a mentor
look for an apprentice
(If you have an issue with your current purrsona, please submit a new form so that Viperfrost/Goldenfawn can correct any errors/ommissions at the beginning of the following month)
In alignment with the new changes to the Senior Warrior campaigning platform, please be aware of the following rules:
You can announce that you are running for Senior Warrior ONCE, in a short message such as โHey, everybody! Iโm running for SW and Iโd appreciate it if you vouched!โ. Afterward, you may remind others than you are running ONCE PER WEEK, again in a short message such as โIโm still running for SW and Iโd appreciate any support!โ. Placing reminders in your name or signature is still fine. ๐ Please separate your 1) reminder and 2) question about how many vouches you have into two different comments. Any mod can mod your reminder; only two of us can review your vouch question.
You may no longer post lists of reasons others should vouch for you, since the merit of your actions should hopefully speak louder than words.
I (Viperfrost/Goldenfawn) will keep track of how many valid vouches you have and update the Allegiances accordingly. If youโd like the number of how many valid vouches you currently have, you can post that question below ONCE PER WEEK.
To be elligible to run, you must have been active for twelve months total. In the past, you would have had to be active for twelve months in a row. Activity is determined by if youโve commented at least once per month for each of those twelve months.
You may no longer โvouch nagโ (A.K.A. post lists of reasons one should vouch for a campaigner on behalf of that campaigner).
If you would like to show support (โVouch for So-And-So!โ) or say that youโve vouched for a campaigner, please do so beneath their announcement or weekly reminder.
If you would like a list of who youโve vouched for, you can ask below ONCE PER WEEK. Please note that asking who youโve vouched for is different than asking who youโve validly vouched for and may produce different answers. ๐
Vouch Requirements:
1. The vouch must be three or more complete sentences long.
2. The vouch must be legible. Caps lock and intense exclaimations are not your friends.
3. The vouch must include three or more objective reasons, with support, regarding how the candidate benefits the community as a whole.
People usually get caught on the third requirement. I’ll give you an example of what one of these “reasons” would look like.
One NOT VALID reason: “Goldenfawn is very nice and friendly and I love them, they’re the best!!!”
One VALID reason: “Goldenfawn is very kind, warm, and outgoing, They’re always around to be a listener or to offer a shoulder to someone in their time of need in the BlogClan Community.
What makes this valid? You have the first sentence as your thesis. It’s your main point and your reason. It is followed up by another sentence that backs up your claim. You’re providing objective reasons about benefitting the community; you have to explain HOW the candidate carries out the reason you gave. It’s one thing to say someone is nice and quite another to explain why you think they’re nice. As a general reminder, you’ll need three of these reasons in your vouch (so three main points and three explanations of those points).
Can I vouch?
You can vouch in April ๐
^^
Could any mod tell me how long until I can run for senior warrior? It’s ok if not, but thanks in advance!
One more month of being active, and then the month after that is when you can start running if you so wish ๐
Thank you! I donโt think Iโm going to run immediately, I just wanted to know.
^^
Hey! just here quickly to say I am not inactive and my laptop just broke, I am using a laptop that is my family’s and I only have access to it for 20 or so minutes at a time, I should be more active in two weeks once my laptop has been shipped back to me.
