1. It's unprofessional because a lot of users may believe that the nominations are already over and they are not given a fair chance since an admin (and especially a bureaucrat) is already showing bias towards one or many users. as a person in position of power you should really try act like it, and not toss around wish bones for people, because they might feel like they've already won. when they maybe then dont get the rights, it can cause fights. also, people who believe the battle is already lost may start fights as well. i don't like to risk drama.

2. no it isn't. i do believe a lot of decisions should be made by the community as a whole, but points of contestions between users which can create drama, like nominations for staff positions or utom and totm, should be kept between the admins to discuss. this isn't about us not being present in the community anymore. do you reveal how the votes lie while people are voting for an election? no you don't.

3. this isn't about sugar coating, and no, not everyone deserves a medal. but this is not a contest, and that is the point. this is a serious nomination, and is not supposed to be a competition. it is to see who's the most competent user for the job. would a referee run out into the field and declare one team as the winner before the game started? would a boss go out in the middle of an interview period and announce the one who gets the job, before the last person has been interviewed? because you, as one of the two active bureaucrats, hold immence power on this wiki.

so yeah, keep your opinons to yourself in this matter, until the admins can come to a comclusion later. the community descides and follows a lot of important business on this wiki, but unless we want these nominations, utom and totm to become a competition, you best stay in your lane.
