Community Activity:How You think elections should work

Neptune's idea:
I think we should have it so its like real life elections. The mods step down there ranks for a moment, and then everyone elects who they want to be mod, as long as they reach the requirements.

THE SECOND IDEA:

Or we should have an election between two or three people to see who gets a new place in the moderator staff.

Henry's Idea:
So basically, it begins like Neptune's idea. Every mod steps down, and they can either rerun or give someone else a chance. If this happens, I think there should be 3 discussion mods and 3 content mods.

But before that, we will have parties. Each party has a discussions mod representative and a content mod representative.Those representatives will be the candidate from their party. So basically the wiki will now be a three-party system. Each party will also find an admin to represent them.

When election comes around, the final positions will be decided by 5 people. The admins/bureaucrats and Pig Lover. I'm sure he won't mind stopping by to vote.

And there you have it.

GG4LS idea
So the old mods are going to make a application or be really active in January. (They choose which activity which are getting edits with no spam or making a application) Last gets demoted. The new mods do the same except that FIRST and SECOND in the editing contest. The other competition has a prize that is mod but the application one has only one winne (You will need the join the other activities if only yourself joined.)

Yoda's Idea
idea 1: nobody gets mod lol

idea 2: we scrap the election thing because its fucking bullshit the wiki isn't a democracy retards and replace it with a new system with very basic requirements and all you have to do to become mod is ask. if the slots are full the admins say no pls wait. also elections have practically ruined our wiki so i say we replace it

Zach's Idea
I think that we already have enough staff members. There are too many people constantly saying "I want to be mod" or making blog posts that say, "should I be a mod?" Like, just stop there are already a ton of good mods and admins like PET, Neptune, etc. We don't need anymore.

PET's Idea
We should do a single-transferable voting system where users rank the candidates. There will be four seats open, two discussions mod, and two content mod.

Hobbes’ Idea
Everyone steps down and anybody can run for chat mod. chat mods can run for content mod. content mods can run for admin. Admins can run for bureaucrat and the bureaucrat gets demoted to admin.

OMGDaYT's Idea
I agree with Zach, there are too many mods, and they're good ones.`

Awqua Idea
Idk

Chase
We hold them every 3 months with a primary, or when a staff member steps down.

-No Avatar-‘s idea
Just give me admin. The end

MartSays
Don't give random people mod

(Looking at you Younlings and Yoda)

Aeether's idea
Okay, so there's a mod primary every three months. five users face off against each other to gain a thread mod. The user with the most votes wins.

Rule 1. If there's a two-way tie, those two face off in a revote. If there's a tie again, the vote goes to the staff team.

Rule 2. If there's a three way tie, they face off and whoever gets the most votes wins. If there's a two way tie, repeat Rule 1. If there's a three way tie again, the vote goes to the staff team. Etc. with Rules 3, 4, 5.

This will be finished later.

Another idea is a 1v1 bracket till the very end.

Choowe
The users with the most votes win. Simple.

Vecna
Henry's idea is purty good

Cant

 * Every 3 months
 * Exceptions being if a staff member steps down
 * User with the most votes wins

Ilcad

 * Every 3 months for mod
 * Every 4 months for admin
 * Every 6 months for crat

If a current mod looses his spot, he can't go against the winner of the election the current mod lost it. An example is if bob and ken are the mods for 2026, and bob looses. Let's say durring that same election, jerry wins. Jerry can't go against bob, bc if bob wins we might get stick t=with the same staff for more time.

Also, parties like what henry suggested would be cool
