Premature supports

I have been bold and deleted two supports that have appeared. I distincly recall criticism in the past for RfAs appearing already stacked up with supports. It was considered bulldozing, as no chance had been made available for any evolving debate about the candidate. I feel very confident about this RfA and think it will be very successful, but it is right to let the wider community have a chance to participate in that decision, not present them with a fait accompli. I realise the supports are being placed in good faith out of enthusiasm for the candidate, but I don't want to see it marred over all the wrong reasons. If I am wrong about this, or protocols have changed without my knowledge, then feel free to revert the deletions. I should say that I do not think for a moment that these slightly over-eager endorsements have been solicited by Yanksox. He's just not that sort of guy. Tyrenius 13:33, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As one of the "early voters" I apologize for jumping the gun. My endorsement was not solicited at all - I had the redlink of this RfA watchlisted because I felt Yanksox would make a good admin when/if he was nominated and wanted to make sure I didn't miss the RfA. Until reading the above I wasn't aware of any issues with early voting. Again, my apologies. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 13:39, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Relax. No harm done. --Lord Deskana (talk) 13:45, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, same here. I voted "early", as well. I apologise for jumping the gun, so to speak. My endorsement was not at all solicited either. I co-nominated him and figured I might as well vote for him too. I wasn't aware of the controversy surrounding early voting either. I'll make sure to wait until the RfA is a bit more visible when I cast my vote... again hoopydink^{Conas tá tú?} 15:19, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No one here should be sorry, I am deeply flattered that people did this on their own will. I do believe that Tyrenius acted correctly since stocking support votes does not allow for a smooth debate that can mature. It is not fair to other users. I would recommend, if you still wish to leave your opinion in my RfA, to just watchlist this page and WP:RfA, as this should be done soon. I am sorry for being so late, RL has become really busy last couple of days, and it will ease back soon for me. Thanks to each and every one of you for even noticing this page.
