The idea behind CSM is quite good. Having a group of dedicated players appointed by the playerbase to work closely with CCP is theoretically quite good, and could in an ideal world be quite an asset to the game we all love!
However, lately I have seen more and more people running for CSM "for fun" or as a joke. Not many, but a few! They acts like joke and plays like joke on the forums, with no real interest in making the game better, but instead see this as an opportunity to brag or having a good paid vacation in Iceland. Or, that is how it looks like for me anyway! Because when I read the list of candidates and compares it to their forum posts in general - I am getting worried! Not just for the candidate as such, but more of the playerbase who seems to like the idea of voting on such people for fun! So a question arises :
What if a candidate turns out to be a total fraud, with No apparent interest in working for the betternes of the game. Do CCP have a whip under the table? And what does it say about a playerbase who openly vote for such candidates for fun? Or am I just being too judging here?

Most of the joke candidates don't come anywhere close to getting elected. There's only been three who have done anything particularly joke-like on the CSM. Larkonis Trassler, who did a pretty dumb violation of the NDA, got caught, and was removed from council. Pattern Clarc, who lost a vote on an issue he cared about and then disappeared never to be seen again(and who was eventually removed for non-attendance). And Mazzilliu, who while often serious did things like raise an issue proposing to turn titans into monster trucks because someone gave her a PLEX to do it. None of them were "joke candidates", and while two of them did get removed for being stupid, they were all fairly genuinely trying to improve the game for most of the time that they were on the council.
Joke candidates exist. Always have, always will. Laugh and move on - they're not a threat to anything.

How would you suggest we detect the applicants who are secretly applying as a joke, with no intention of improving the game, but who seem involved enough to get votes?
You also seem to have difficulty telling the difference between someone who has a sense of humour, and someone determined to undermine their CSM position - "for a joke".
I would be more worried about applicants who seem serious, but have the intention of undermining the CSM, if that is possible.
And in your case, I would be worried about suggesting that a player based vote is somehow detrimental to the choice of "player representatives".
Should we be given a choice of player representatives or should we be given them without a vote?
"Take care" next time you make a post like this: your logic leaves a little to be desired.

I just want to be on the csm so i can put on my resume that i worked for ccp. since i was on the council of stellar managment that means it's both an elected position and a mangment position. and since there are 300k players or so, that means i am managing 300k players. and if i win this round that means i will get to say i worked for ccp for one and a half years. pretty sweet deal huh

I've never met anybody with so much management experience. Please send me your CV if you're interested in being CEO of my multi-billion international company - I'm sure that with experience managing so many people you would be a top candidate

did i also mention that i'm the CEO of about six corporations and i'm a multi billionaire? i'm pretty much the most qualified person ever, you should probably give me ten jobs.

Well, I personally eneded up voting for Socratez. Planned to put my votes on Angelus, but he withdrew his candidacy sadly enough.
Oh well, lets hope we see the playerbase vote seriously. Because I would hate to see some of those who run in the CSM5...

While I may seriously question Mazz's efficiency on the CSM, she's not making a joke, but rather a jab at another candidate who does stuff like this. That candidate is Ankhesentapemkah, who apparently did write on her resume that she held a management position at CCP studios.

My new honda line of vehicles will include monster trucks, and be designed to be optimal for things like ramming. i will also accept bribes for minor amounts of money(that means i'm taking bribes not for the money, but for the principle of the matter), and probably get voted off the board of directors when my paid Political Electoral Technicians(p.e.t.s) are finally removed by a more powerful entity.

lark, i think you should be included in this thread too. because even though we are from different heritages, different countries, and practically speak a different language(ok well, you have a funny accent at least), i think that in the end, we are brothers. or sisters, i guess. you get to sit next to me.

The council would have been less comedy and more of a think tank should Herschel been voted in. A huge oversight by the playerbase last term.

You can be brothers quite cheaply, the operation is not even that expensive anymore and you wouldn't be the first to go through such a metamorphosis, emerging as a beautifull butterfly *cough Jade.

The Honda evil 9k1. It comes with built in driver's side machine gun racks and passenger side rocket launcher mounts. It will also come with a free 1 year subscription to GUNS magazine. there is also lots of room in the backseat and trunk for children/groceries. My extensive experience on the CSM has given me the experience required to make these great strides in car design technology.
For our european(socialist, commie) customers, we replaced the gun mounts with nerf guns to comply with gun regulation laws, but have also installed a 10 ft long front mounted lance for use in auto-jousting.
