Hi meatbomb,
I have a few remarks and questions about your programm. I hope you can answer my questions and address my concerns. Thank you for your time in advance and good luck in the elections :)


♥It is well known that Miss Bimbo (the site owner) has neglected the site and failed to support the user base on numerous occasions. I'm going to eat her alive
Miss Bimbo is Chris the owner. Do you honestly think he will listen to you, while he ignored every PB in the past?

♥I will include harder punishments towards discrimination, and harassment. Bimboland was recently changed to be 16+, and I have seen vulnerable, young users be targeted and harmed by other players on here in the past, and yet little was done to deal with it. I absolutely refuse to let vulnerable users be put at risk anymore. No other website has this much leniency to blatant discrimination and harassment.
You need TB for that as well, they are the only ones who can ban users forever.

♥I will campaign for more outfit categories and slots, as the user base has been requesting since the very start. I'm sure we would all love to see what the user base can make with more creative freedom!
You also need TB for this

♥I will implement general moderators, including LGBT moderators and moderators who are POC, at this moment the only person who is taken seriously with user reports is the Prime Bimbo. And no player can edit profiles and ban users. My goal is to change that so there is a team you can report harmful comments, profiles, and debate answers to, with the support of existing forum moderators. I will do this regardless if Team Bimbo helps or not
You need TB to hand out those tools, do you honestly think they will go for this? Honestly?

♥I will campaign for weekly mini-crazes, like 2x in fitness with interchanging stat boosts every week.
Again you need TB for that and I can tell you with 100% certainty that they will not go for that idea either.

♥I will implement a system of strikes for volunteer staff and moderators. This is to prevent abuse of power towards the user base and to make the volunteer staff and moderators safer
You also need TB for that.

♥I will make sure the bot problem is dealt with, as some of you know bots have likely started voting in the PBFC as well. To make the PBFC and future elections fair they must be removed completely
That is only possible with TB's help and every PB since Iulja has tried to get them to delete the bots. Why do you realisticly think you will succeed?

♥I will make an anonymous google form for reporting users to staff. I will also have another anonymous form which you can use to report said members of staff, which they won't have any access to. They will also be able to report each other to prevent any harmful behaviour behind the scenes and to keep the volunteers safe as well.
Policing the volunteers doesn't sound like a good idea at all, it will only alienate them. Why do you think it is a good idea?

♥I will try to have Team Bimbo notify me before the site shuts down for maintenance, so there will be site-wide forum announcements 24 hours before the site shuts down as a much-needed warning to the user base.
Many PB's before you have tried this and failed. Why are you any different do you think?

♥I will campaign for the mini-games to get fixed. With hopes of mini-games to gain fitness and vanity in the future
Again many PB's have tried and failed, why do you think you will succeed?

♥ I will campaign to implement a gifting/trading system, so you can give other users gifts in the form of clothing, and artifacts
This will just help cheaters with multiple accounts, sorry this is a bad idea. I like the thought behind it, but it will only get abused.

♥I will continue to hound team bimbo on changes they Are working on. Like the renaming of the people smuggler job and “commit bimbo suicide” (alongside other problematic text on the site) to be more appropriate. And cuter state colors as Miss Bimbo herself suggested
My experience in hounding TB is that they will just ignore you and wait until your term is over. Can you elaborate on how you will "hound" them?

♥I will make sure that the volunteers and designers for the shops get a reliable stream of in-game money and senatorships
All the volunteers and several PB's tried to get TB to do this and failed. Why do you think you will succeed?

♥I understand that previous Prime Bimbos have had issues due to a lack of co-operation with team bimbo. Luckily, very few of my goals require their full support, and I'm confident that I will be able to make a difference with my own volition
As I pointed out almost all of your promises require the help of TB, so this is not true.

Yep, I chose one candidate for a simple reason. Meat's program is the one which is strongly focused on ideas requiring cooperation with TB and that's the crucial point for me at the moment. 
actually, meatbomb has many promises that do not require team bimbo such as: creating an anonymous google form to report problem users, announcing contests, handling harassment more strictly with stronger punishments, having a strike system for moderators, ect whereas i dont see a single one of favourite worst nightmares promises that she can do without team bimbos cooperation. everyones hostility towards one candidate is very concerning honestly when every candidate needs team bimbo for their promises

I am not hostile towards meatbomb. But he is the only candidate that thinks he can get things done without TB. And I (and many others) would like to know how he thinks to accomplish that.

okay, and i am curious what the other candidates are planning on doing without team bimbos cooperation, and why meatbomb is the only one being dogpiled when all candidates are going to be in the same situation

I'm sorry, but this is an outright lie. FWN's entire programme requires TB's cooperation. I literally just checked it. And most of Toki's does as well. Meatbomb has the most ideas that don't require TB listed, and y'all are choosing to point out that meat's programme has a lot of TB-centric goals. His is the longest programme, so yes, it has TB-centric goals as well.

Exactly what point is any of this criticism making?

Because he is the only candidate that makes the claim that he doesn't need TB's help for his programm. He is the only candidate who is convinced that he will get TB's cooperation. And I would like to know what makes him different from his predecessors.

yes because meatbombs program involves points that he does not need team bimbo for? he doesnt need team bimbo to make announcements. he doesnt need team bimbo to make an anonymous google form for users to report problem users. he doesnt need team bimbo to jail users who take harassment too far and to ban users from the forum, even if he would have to reban/rejail the worst offenders every 5 days. he is saying he doesnt need team bimbo for every single thing and he plans on being able to at least do some things without team bimbo, what are the other candidates planning on doing without team bimbo?

I thought all three candidates said they'd try their best to get team bimbos cooperation? Meatbomb's doesn't read any differently imo, I don't see any points where he promises that team bimbo will support him. I'm a little confused.

I think Meat's campaign is very well-put together and promising, he wants to involve the playerbase more and have more organization in the moderator team and appropriate compensation for the volunteers that make items for the shop, all of which are extremely important for the enjoyment and satisfaction of the people playing the site, which I haven't seen in the campaigns of the other candidates (unless I accidentally skipped over it), there are plenty of things that don't center around the involvement of TB in Meat's campaign, I'd say Meat's campaign is the one that relies the least on TB's involvement than the other two campaigns

i agree with this. also, it's quite discouraging and frankly pathetic that meatbomb's promises to stand up for what he believes in, which is taking care of the citizens in bl and making positive changes is being met with such hostility. in addition to that, it's quite problematic that there has been such a social disconnect between tb and the citizens in that a minister's hope to make peace and to cooperate is being met with guff and snark. i do not want to pit people against each other, but i for one will stand by any minister, i don't care they are, if they are actively and aggressively trying to make changes around here to make the site safer and a more hospitable environment in which we can all feel safe and have positive experiences. meatbomb does seem to be a very independent in that a lot of what he is saying does not in fact require extra assistance. saying, "every prime bimbo has tried this and failed" does not mean meatbomb will fail. that is pessimistic and forthrightly uncouth. i will stand by a candidate who is fair and honest, especially of promises of safety and proper compensation for the volunteers and organizational tactics that surely need to be worked on. i do not understand this balderdash of tearing apart a campaign without critically thinking about the nuances and possibilities that may be unprecedented to you, but not to him.
