FAQ

What is a Bureaucrat?

A bureaucrat (AKA crat) is a user with the ability to promote and demote users for sysop and bureaucrat positions. The Urban Dead Wiki mantains two active bureaucrats at all times, with elections occurring every three months to promote a sysop into bureaucrat, filling the position of the one who has least recently had an election.

A bureaucrat whose position is being filled can run for reelection, with no limits on how many times a bureaucrat can remain in the position.

Can I become a Bureaucrat?

Only System Operators (aka sysop) can become bureaucrats. Users who are part of the Urban Dead Wiki community for a set period of time and which have made a certain number of edits can be promoted to sysop, as long as they get the rest of the community support. For more information on how to become a sysop, read the sysop promotions page.

System Operators can become bureaucrat if elected by the community. A sysop needs to be active in the previous months of the election in order to run for crat. If he becomes active AFTER the election begun, he will only be able to run for 'crat in the next election.

Can I vote?

Any user can vote. You can only vote in one candidate per election, and any user who vote more than once will have all their votes stricken.

Can I vote for myself?

If you are a sysop and eligible for voting, you can vote for yourself.

Can I vote Grim plox? --Sonny Corleone ^{DORIS MSD pr0n} 07:07, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Of course. I voted for Millard Fillmore for US president this year. -- Atticus Rex ^{mfu pif} Δ 17:13, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

I hate democracy when it goes boxys way...--xoxo 12:02, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Next election

Should be for boxy's slot since he is a mid season replacement for AHLG who was elected BEFORE Cheese. Don't let him slip in as Crat for Life. -- #99 ^DCC 13:58, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

I believe the way the policy is worded is that it's the oldest 'crat's bid that gets put up. No reason why Cheese should get an extra long bid because Gnome stepped down.--Karek^maps?! 14:23, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

I think its argued that its the last crat not to have their position voted on, and the election itself was a vote. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 14:40, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

So, if a crat whose position will be up for grabs in the next election is demoted two and half weeks before the end of his term, the crat who gets elected will only keep his position for half a week ? for someone who tries to appear smart, this was a really dumb idea, DCC. The guidelines for bureaucrat election are not hard to understand, and they are pretty clear about whose position will be voted on next time --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 15:21, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

'Crats come under default election if they go 12 months without one, so that saves the possibility of 'Crat for life, DCC. Linkthewindow  Talk  20:25, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

1. DUDE! Nubis and SA for Crats! Team BFF to rule the wiki!!-- #99 ^DCC 09:27, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

   I must admit... I laughed :D. Linkthewindow  Talk  10:02, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

   Hells yeah we're gonna rule this shit!--BFFs +SA+NSANSANSANSANSANSANSANSANSAN 4 EVA!!! 14:34, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

   We've already had enough drama with the 'crat teams and promotions, etc. Elect someone solid. Nubis is the clear, hands-downs choice out of this group. --WanYao 18:24, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

   Wow, thank you, Wan. Seriously, I'm touched.--– Nubis ^NWO 18:52, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

   And I'm the clear back-up, since no one wants Hags, and Karek is probably leaving. :'( --BFFs +SA+NSANSANSANSANSANSANSANSANSAN 4 EVA!!! 18:46, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

   Nein Wanyao nein, du bist verruckt! :P. SuicidalAngel as der Bundskansalier! --Thadeous Oakley 19:22, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

   Mais non, c'est toi qui est fou. Nubis est "la vraie merde" pour devenir 'crat :P --WanYao 19:32, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

   Lulz wHat? Je ne comprend. Parce que je ne parle francais. Meh...je parle francais un petit peu. Mais je fail! Also, on another note: Translators are highly overrated. I did not use, neither should anyone else. Who knows, you might actually learn something on the urbandead wiki.--Thadeous Oakley 20:01, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

   Hmm, the internet told me you called me "the true fuck". Uhhh thanks? (I had to use a translator. I only took Spanish for 2 years and slept through most of them.)--– Nubis ^NWO 22:55, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

   Don't drop the "pas", drop the "ne"... :) --WanYao 21:27, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

   Je comprend. I dropped french 2 years ago ;). Ach ja, ik kan nog altijd mijn eigen moedertaal praten, die trouwens erg moeilijk schijnt te zijn :P. Try that one. --Thadeous Oakley 22:42, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

   It's Dutch, no? I learned a bit of Swedish, so some of that actually makes sense to me... --WanYao 00:56, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

2. Either Nubis or SA would be my choice, and it looks like Nubis doesn't need any help from me to win, so I'll go with SA. --Pestolence^(talk) 21:49, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

   Ahhh, vous avez joint le côté en noir >:).--Thadeous Oakley 22:42, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

3. A voice of reason--CyberRead240 06:20, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

   lol, you're willing to suck his dick just because he disagreed with your ban. Pathetic. --Cyberbob 07:25, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

   So did karek and nubis. The question is, can read suck 3 dicks simultaneously? --xoxo 07:46, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

   I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest. --Cyberbob 09:35, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

   I would have said lol, but that's getting repetetive.--Thadeous Oakley 20:19, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

1. Either Nubis or SA would be my choice, and it looks like Nubis doesn't need any help from me to win, so I'll go with SA. --Pestolence^(talk) 21:49, 8 February 2009 (UTC) Wow, I completely didn't expect so many people to vote for Angel. Oh well, I'll stick with my vote, I trust him to do a good job. --Pestolence^(talk) 00:41, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

   I didn't think I'd do this good either...--BFFs +SA+NSANSANSANSANSANSANSANSANSAN 4 EVA!!! 00:42, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Nubis

1. From what I know of him, he seems like a good sysop. --Haliman - Talk 01:12, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

   A good sysop does not a fit crat make.--xoxo 01:16, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

   You think a bad sysop makes a better crat?-- #99 ^DCC 09:06, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

   I don't think the two are particularly related.--xoxo 11:28, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

   Bah. Did I didn't want to say "He is the best candidate." That's beginning to get repetitive. :P --Haliman - Talk 01:52, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

   Pithy phrases do not an intelligent mind make. --Cyberbob 06:14, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

   Or do they? --xoxo 06:35, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

   No, they don't. --Cyberbob 11:55, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

   Damn. I thought i had that shit in the bag.--xoxo 12:01, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

August Election

So, it's nearly the 15th Beurocrat election! And on the 15th, how fitting. So, what's the community opinion in the pre-election? Link can't run because he's already a crat, Daranz and Swiers don't look like they'll have enough edits. That leaves everyone else as a potential candidate. Whether or not they run is a different matter. From the last election, looks like Conndraka will be pulling out.

That leaves:

Suicidalangel

Boxy

Cyberbob240

DanceDanceRevolution

Krazy monkey

Nubis

Rosslessness

The General

The Rooster

Any thoughts?--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 20:41, 9 August 2009 (BST)

...You want the community, this community, to attempt to have a debate on who is best suited for the job?... I honestly cannot wait to see how this ends.--SirArgo ^Talk 20:56, 9 August 2009 (BST)

My vote goes to whoever has the guts to actually demote people once the sysops re-evaluation starts.--Thadeous Oakley 21:31, 9 August 2009 (BST)

I would have no trouble pulling the trigger.--– Nubis ^NWO 22:09, 9 August 2009 (BST)

Which would be everyone. Cyberbob  Talk  23:30, 9 August 2009 (BST)

Vote for Pedro <----DDR -Poodle of doom 22:16, 9 August 2009 (BST)

Sometimes I feel that the best idea would be a dance off....--Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 22:27, 9 August 2009 (BST)

Only if it's retro dancing types. Swing dancing ftw.--SirArgo ^Talk 22:56, 9 August 2009 (BST)
