So, a lot of this surrounds a misunderstanding? Unfortunately, things like this can't be helped. I've always found the best way of getting someone's attention in important matters is a PM or e-mail, and I humbly suggest more important messages involving these types of matter at least be made know to the intended receipient through a PM.
Also, unfortunately, the communications we all have between one another (these forums) do not particularly promote simple 'Thank yous' that we are used to in real life. I think that your outstanding sucess in elections, however, is proof of peoples' thanks. How else could you be so honored each election cycle?
Your case is simply one of, what is the best word... overenthusiasm. The amount of work you do is certainly admirable. However, you've gone beyond the point where people are willing to help. We've all got our limitations, especially on time, and you apparently have more than others.
I would simply suggest scaling your activity back. While your contributions are greatly appreciated (a fact I cannot state enough). If you have an idea, pursue it when enough people express willingness to help.
Now, I think I'm sounding insulting, so I had best wrap this up. If I've hurt anyone, it was entirely unintentional.
Again, thank you for all you've done for the democracy game. Please stay with us.
