User blog:Detective SkullWolf/Something About Noodle Soup... (Also, Policy Suggestion)

(Note that I'm not doing this to start drama, quite the opposite in fact. Also, I lied about the noodle soup. Muahahahah!)

I've been noticing the number of staff having dropped a bit lately and found it a bit concerning that no one has come forward to ask for replacements. However, after looking for any form of policy for promoting staff, I simply found this.

Now, not to cause any sparks or anything, but I personally don't like the way this is set up. Basically, a single person ultimately gets to control who gets a position? I'd rather it be that the entire community has a say in the matter. And so, I'd like to suggest a policy for promoting users.

Basically, this will end up being a bit similar to the policy that I made on another wiki (I'm not sure if anyone has an issue with me linking the policy, but I'd like to so I can use it as a reference. Let me know if I'm allowed to, please) It will run in the form of an election, where users can pitch in suggestions for positions of power. There will be two stages in which a vote will take place: Approval and Voting. In the approval stage, both admins and non-admins will decide whether or not they want this person for the position. A certain number (undecided yet) of approvals are required from both sides are required in order to move on to the voting stage. Disapproval votes will not count against anyone in this stage. The voting stage is simply a vote by everyone to decide if the person gets the position.

First things first, we have to decide when elections should take place. I was thinking that it would be best to conduct one every three or four months, but I'll let the community decide. Also, I was thinking that parameters should be set so that not just anyone can run for a position. Let me know what you think about that.

So please, comment what you think or if you have any suggestions and thank you for your time.
