ELECTIONS!
« on: October 20, 2007, 05:24:50 AM »
Hey, it's time to vote.
I know that many don't
make it all the way down
to the voting thread, but
if you have any desire to add input,
you should.

I'm still trying to decide who to vote for- but I agree we need more people to vote.

I've had a shitful case of apathy in general lately.  I nearly started listening to Cake, it is that bad ;)

The problem is Only with this election is that You need to be a Member of The World Council to Vote. ???

When it should be up to All the Membership. :police:

No you don't- all site members are entitled to vote.  Only Wc members are entitled to run for election though.

Better than allowing all members to vote and allowing those who are interested enough in the running of the site to join the WC to run for admin?  What would you suggest?

I take it he means allowing anyone to stand for election, WC or not...

I think eligibility for the WC is a reasonable
stipulation. But I can remember one case
where someone expressly did NOT want to
be a member unless elected. Though the case
made no sense to me, I think that we should
be flexible enough to allow such.

if you aren't interested enough in this place to join the world council, surely you aren't interested in being an admin?

You are assuming though that the voters are unable to judge that. Plus, what an admin actually is, to an outsider, is very obvious. Its not the same for a world council member.

if you are a member but don't bother to find out how this site works, you have no business being an admin. or a member of the world council.
