At one time we tried to have a rare show only vine, where you could only be in the vine if you had a rare show to contribute to it. It was when I was pretty new and since I barely even had any DVDs, let alone rare ones I didnt pay much attention to it. Anyone recall if that vine was successful or not?

Just to address the rumor's you've heard:
It really isn't a popularity contest. There has to be very valid and good reasons given for the RMs to vote "no" or we (the staff) will not consider the "no" vote when deciding to promote someone. All the voting is based on the criteria as described in our rules not on popularity.
There person who was caught selling bootlegs is still banned from metpage period, not just demoted from RM status. We view that as a very serious offense. Once that person's year ban is up, it is very highly unlikely that he will ever be considered for RM status ever again.
There have been no other RMs that have been banned that are "back in". There have been members of the community who have been banned for a specific amount of time who have been allowed "back in" to Metpage after their year or whatever being banned is over. But none of these members are RMs nor would we consider automatically giving them back their RM status. They have to earn it just like everyone else.
There are some RM's who have voluntarily left Metpge who have decided to come back. But their RM status has been considered on a case by case basis. We (the staff) consider circumstances surrounding their decision to leave metpage in deciding if their RM status is automatically given back or if they have to "earn" it and be voted in by the RMs again.
Now back to the rare show discussion (again).....
