Discussion
We have been attached to the OAP website for almost 10 years (2015). In that 10 years, we have adventured to a wide variety of locations, from normal houses, to cemetaries, to jails, to Drive Ins. We were trusted with a top location (mansion with pool inside) by the runners of the old OAP & took advantage of not only photographing it but finding out the history behind it all which made the photos make more sense later on.
We have 110 locations in total with 30 of them being ones we found & submitted first. We have not only photographed locations but revisited to rephotograph over the years as well - this helps update the website as well to whether a place has since been demolished & that way others aren't making the trip for something that isn't there.
We are a couple based out of Georgian Bay, Ontario. We love urban exploring & taking those photos that will last forever - not just for us - but for our children & their children to look back on as our world constantly changes in front of us.
We are hoping to gain Level 4 to be able to photograph more unique locations and to capture more of Ontario's history & possibly in the future put a book together with photos of locations that used to be vs what is there now - or what it looks like today type thing.

this election was approved prematurely. although all levels need to go thru moderator approval before being approved, level 3,4 need at least 2 moderators to approve the election. please allow moderators a few more days to discuss the election before finalizing the election. i have put this election back into a pending state until the moderators come to a consensus. my apologies for this mishap

Doesn’t meet requirements and needs current administration approval to advance to lvl4.

Missing the new locations requirements. Submit at least 40 new level 2 or higher locations. Submit at least 20 new level 3 or higher locations.

Great past and loyal users, however I feel it would make more sense to get back into good activity before requesting a promotion. Additionally, for a level 4, an average of 10 photos per album, as well as only 30 locations over almost 10 years seems a bit low. Just needs a little bit of work put towards these points

doesn't meet requirements

The 1-2 years of inactivity concerns me. Needs to have 40 new locations and a current trusted member explore or vouch for you. This team has been great in the past, I just think they need a little more time to meet the requirements. Mike is gone for a reason and nobody should use him as a reference.

Contribute meaningful (quality) content to 80+ locations. Submit at least 40 new level 2 or higher locations. Submit at least 20 new level 3 or higher locations. Great to see some level 4 locations added before seeing all level 4 locations.
