Approve my proposal because it's the best!
If you don't approve my proposal, I will send multiple copies of this telegram until you acquiesce!

Seeing as this is not a report thread, I believe player comment is permitted.
This should not be stickied. I doubt there was any danger of the mods seriously entertaining thoughts of such, but stranger things have happened. The "guide", written by a player who has never written a successful campaign telegram themselves, offers essentially nothing of value. The first section is flatly incorrect: most large regions determine their votes by internal voting on off-site forums or through RMB polls, meaning campaign telegrams are useless; stickied guides should not contain actively misleading information. The second section contains information of such intuitive obviousness that it could only possibly be of value to people who would not read the guide anyway. The third section is already covered by other stickies and guides on the telegram system, which actually go into greater and more relevant detail.
Not only should it not be stickied or linked from the reference thread (or the forum guide if that's ever complained), it should be disclaimed so as to avoid misleading impressionable new players.

Nowhere does this "guide" mention templates, which are quite useful for mass-telegramming, and don't instantly flood your outgoing folder with copies upon copies of the same message.

This forum is not particularly welcoming to new players. There's, like, four or five bastards who do nothing but berate you. Kinda hard to get into the hobby when everything you want the WA to do is "not an international issue", unless you're already in the clique.
