You're missing the point. Votes regarding Administrator and bureaucrat nominations should be in their respective areas, and not everyone will know about this blog because I'm certain that at least half of the Users on here don't go looking for random blogs from random Users on a regular basis. Gathering votes and opinions in more than one place will can cause confusion and the results may not be accurate, because, like I said, I doubt everyone who pays attention to nominations knows about this blog because they didn't think that you'd make it. You said it yourself that nominations should occur on nomination pages, which you protested on SFW when I was made an Admin in an area not in the actual nominations page, so one would think that you'd stick to your beliefs on those particular matters, such as this one.

By doing this you're basically saying that you can go anywhere you want to have your qualifications (if any) evaluated by anyone because "its about a nomination", and the universal policies for nominating and promoting Users into higher statuses on Wikia-related websites has become redundant. That means that anyone who nominates themselves can go anywhere they want and announce that they're being nominated to a higher position somewhere, and they can get random people (including dozens of friends) to say whether or not they qualify for such a position, and then copy and paste the results onto the actual nominations page under the excuse of being "legit feedback". Basically, this is what the scenario is: You nominate yourself, then go onto random websites where your friends are such as YouTube and Facebook and tell them about the situation, and get votes because they're your friends, and then you show everyone here that you're qualified because people, who were either never on the site before or hadn't been around for a long enough time, say you are. You can forget about the actual rules for nominations, you can forget about simply telling people to come into the appropriate area to give out their feedback, you can forget about having people who know what they're talking about judge your possible qualifications, lets just bring the nomination to other places and let any random person who says I'm qualified have a say and paste THAT person's opinions into the nominations page!

... And you'd really justify this as fair?
