ZXSpidermanXZ·9/14/2015 in Community Voting

Revotes on admins and chat mods

The title makes this vote pretty clear, should we hold revotes for our CMs and admins? It would be majority rules, not 75 percent, and would go in community voting, all CMs will be put into one vote and all admins in another, just so things don't get spammy. :P I think we at least need to have revotes on the chat moderators and admins that were not made through Request for Rights, I'd understand not wanting to revote on the others. :P These revotes will function as any normal community vote, lasting until 5 days have passed since the last vote.

Should we hold revotes for chat moderators and admins?

A: Yes, but only on CMs and admins not made through Request for Rights.

B: Yes, on all admins and chat moderators.

C: No.

As A votes are a category of B, and all users who vote B also support A, if the vote does not end with B passing, B votes will be counted as A votes.

Current Votes

A) Yes, only on CMs and admins not made through RfR: 12 votes.

B) Yes, on all admins and CMs: 8 votes.

C) No: 18 votes.

Consensus

Yes, only on CMs and admins not made through RfR: 20 votes.

I'm gonna vote B. I think I see "A" as being a thing that should be done, because we don't want people leading us who where simply given their position. I vote B because I think we have quite a lot of mods, and maybey a little "cleansing" of those who don't realy do any mod stuff would be good.

Just because some of us weren't voted in to adminship doesn't mean we were just "given the position". Some of us *cough me cough* started and built this place back in the day when there weren't any users to vote on adminship seeing as there were just a few of us total. Food for thought. ▂▃▅▆▇█▓▒░Eagleeyedan▒░▓█▇▆▅▃▂

We're going to go through a bunch of work revoting on a completely satisfactory admin and CM team because it's democratic? If you have an issue with a admin or CM, bring them up individually and don't make us vote on everyone else just because you don't want to hurt their feelings. Anyone here selected for CM or admin ought to be level-headed and mature enough to take some criticism if that's what you're worried about, no-one's going to go all psycho on you. 'This is a completely pointless wiki about a message board for a brand of plastic bits, we need to lighten up and not take all of this so seriously. There doesn't need to be a government here and this whole society, we have a couple rules and a couple people who make sure the rules are being followed and a bunch of people having fun and interacting. That's all we need.

EDIT: Also, the fact that we have mods that don't have to do mod stuff is a GOOD THING. There is no downside to giving capable members of our community those rights.

per highlighted part especially

All of this, especially as Von said the bolded part.

They most likely have an incredibly biased opinion, seeing as how no one would want to lose their position (I sure as heck wouldn't), so perhaps this vote should only count for those who aren't of such a rank. It's really best for the CMs and Admins to get feedback from us regular, lower/unranked members of the community, as again, most of us have unbiased opinions (aside from personal grudges, and maybe some other reasons unbeknownst to me).

Tl;dr - I don't think CMs or Admins should really get a say in this vote as they will all most likely vote no so they can keep their positions. It should be for the regular community members to decide, due to their unbiased opinions.

This is probably going to get shot down immediatly, but whatever. Just a thought. One you should take into consideration.

Edit: I've noticed a few regular community members among the no votes, but there are only 3. Out of 12. Probably should think this through a little.

I wish we could do something like that, but CMs and admins are just as much a part of the community as users with no rights, unfortunately it's quite clear that there's bias coming from them, as the only two people with rights that have supported this idea are those who do not care about their rights. And BTW at least one of those 3 people doesn't even completely disagree with this.

This is still a seriously unfair vote due to the incredible amount of biased. I mean, for God's sake 1/2 of the people voting on this, and 80% who are voting no, might I add, are ranking members. For the sake of a fair vote, you could take this into account and change the perameters of the vote. You called it, so you must have the power to change it and put up guidlines.

I'm not allowed to change out voting policy. :P That would have to be done with it's own community vote

This is frustratingly stupid. Like, wow.

take note of the objectively correct way of dealing with things you do not agree with

I hate to take this too seriously, but...

Since when were users not elected by the community all of the sudden "bad"? Since when did we ever have a dictatorship? I trust users elected by the admins far more than those voted in, and, if anything, would much rather have a revote exclusively for those who were voted in than one exclusively for the ones elected.
