And I like the people voting. It is the people’s voice after all. But that'll lead to subjective voting. We want the best objective decisions which will ALWAYS be the best. Hence, we use Staff to vote. We can trust them to be unbiased and see what users are doing activity-wise, quality edit-wise, et cetera. Yes, the staff will probably mak the reliable and best decision, but at the cost of it being an election, or the community deciding it. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I'm just pointing out that if this change happens, we loss the "community" part of TotM, which almost defeats its purpose.

In my opinion, we someone hold focus on defeating the problem of it being a contest for the "person you like to rp with" instead of removing the community's part in it, like Fire said.
