| This has been up for a while now, and the amount of votes is absolutely pittiable. Promotions to moderator tend to get about double the amount of votes. How about we link it in the community announcement box on the front page? I feel the person promoted should have a bigger vote of confidence then the 8 to 10 people who bothered to vote.--[[User:Vista|Vista]] 11:57, 22 June 2006 (BST)

| ==Old candidacies== | | == August 2011 round == |
| The guidelines for bureaucrat promotions state that ''Once the two weeks are up, the vouches will be tallied, and the against subtracted from the total. Each moderator has one week to put themselves forward as a Bureaucrat then, when the voting on all the moderators has finished, the moderator with the highest total amount of vouches will be made a Bureaucrat.''. We had Vista promoted already, so we can safely say he has "won" the promotion and the other mods have "lost" it. Shouldn't the other candidacies be archived or stored in some way so when the time comes (i don't know how, as the guidelines don't state how often does the bureaucrat promotion open) the friendly competition for bureaucrat promotions can begin anew? --[[User:Matthewfarenheit|Matthew Fahrenheit]] [[User talk:Matthewfarenheit|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 09:00, 7 July 2006 (BST)

| *'''Against''' - <s>From my talks with you off the wiki you've indicated that you are seriously considering leaving. Why should you be given bureaucratship if you aren't going to be around?

| ***'''Re:''' Ok. I still think you were wrong by creating the petition.

| Why is it that only one Moderator gets promoted per round? Having not noticed this until say, just fucking now, this seems completely ridiculous and encourages sockpuppeting and epenis dickery all over the boards.
| | :My striking was based on my interpretation of "singing" in ''"Users vote for a candidate by signing under the preferred candidate's name"'' as performing the standard signing action, which is equivalent to four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) and consists of the user's signature plus timestamp. |

(I also found [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=UDWiki:Administration/Bureaucrat_Promotions&diff=next&oldid=1991024 a vote that was struck for invalid signature], although it included a timestamp; so signature issues in general are potentially strikeable.)

| ::::It's [[User_talk:Kevan/Archive#Bureaucrats|here]], and no, it wasn't discussed in any depth, I was only imagining it'd be used to promote a single Bureaucrat, and that we could fire it back up again when that user went inactive and we needed another one. If anything, it should be ''more'' different from the Moderator process - I've no idea when or why the continually-repeating "rounds" came in. | |
| ::::The reason only one Bureaucrat got promoted was that we only ''needed'' one. As Xoid says (and as [[UDWiki:Moderation/Misconduct/Archive/Odd_Starter|history sadly shows]]), giving every mod Bureaucrat powers isn't such a great idea - I don't think we gain very much by having four Bureaucrats instead of three, or three instead of two. They don't do anything other than process completed Moderation bids, which are fairly infrequent; something's wrong somewhere if people feel Bureaucrat status is the inevitable "next step up" from Moderator. --[[User:Kevan|Kevan]] 15:29, 10 September 2006 (BST) | |
| :::::One reason I think it might be beneficial to have more than one Bureaucrat (but not more than a handful) is having just one Bureaucrat makes you completely reliant on them. As it is now, for example, if Xoid goes out of town, I'm here to fill his place. If I'm too busy to check the wiki, Xoid can do the job for me. And perhaps even more importantly, in the case of a moderator bid that is in the gray area about whether or not the user should be promoted (or other similar situations), we can confer and then make a decision together, as "the Bureaucrat team," instead of having just one person to try to make the calls. {{User:BobHammero/Sig}} 18:25, 10 September 2006 (BST)
| |
| ::::::I suppose this comes down to your definition of "a handful". Two seems plenty for covering one another while the other's out of town; a worst case of both Bureaucrats (and me) being unavailable just means a delay on processing any promotion bids that happen to expire during that exact period, which isn't the end of the world. And aren't genuinely contentious moderator bids generally rejected with the suggestion that the bidder tries again later? --[[User:Kevan|Kevan]] 10:25, 13 September 2006 (BST)
| |
| :::::::Correct, moderator bids that aren't clearly strong are usually thrown out, but I was saying that it's still nice to have another person with whom to consult. As for how many a "handful" is, two seems to be working fine right now, although I could foresee perhaps three as being acceptable as well, but not more than that. After a certain point, having more than a small number of Bureaucrats defeats the purpose of having the different position entirely. {{User:BobHammero/Sig}} 17:09, 13 September 2006 (BST)
| |
| :::::The continually-repeating rounds was partly my doing, I wanted to archive the whole page as a whole so people could see how the person got promoted. I archived it as a "round" in case I went inactive and a new bureaucrat election had to be held and archived. When that happened and Xoid replaced me, the resulting way of archiving and the way the general set the process up must have made it look like it was similar to a promotion to sysop for the people who didn't know that there was only supposed to be one user-bureaucrat. I thought that it was both common knowledge and reinforced by the language used in the promotions and the fact that I demoted myself immidiatly. Looking back I see I probably should have made it more clear.--[[User:Vista|Vista]] 00:54, 13 September 2006 (BST)

| Now let's look at this:
| |
| Kevan says '''powers''' not '''status'''.
| |
| Kevan says misconduct.
| |
| | |
| As proven time and again, non-sysops '''cannot''' be found guilty of misconduct. If he can be found guilty or not guilty of misconduct then he '''must''' still have sysop status. There is no other way for it to be. If he is demoted as a result of the misconduct proceedings then he is no longer an ineligible candidate. Otherwise he qualifies, the criteria make no mention of current bans. Just because he ''will'' be demoted before the end of the election does not change the fact that he is an eligible candidate and thus I will return to voting. As Kevan has declared his status, owner privilege is in effect and even without powers, Grim is considered a sysop.

| Removing the section time and again smacks of moderation and an attempt to pervert the outcome of a community decision. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 22:51, 9 October 2008 (BST)

| :That doesn't even get close to Kevan saying Grim can take part in the election. Therefore, you've just proved you're an idiot. -- {{User:Krazy_Monkey/sig}} 22:56, 9 October 2008 (BST)
| |
| ::Kevan doesn't have to say he can take part, Kevan shows he's '''still a sysop'''. All sysops are candidates. Which part of this progression escapes you? -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 23:01, 9 October 2008 (BST)
| |
| :::You're totally ignoring Grim's self-imposed permanent ban and evidence from various users demonstrating that Grim is not currently a sysop of this wiki. You're full to the brim with spurious logic on this one, Iscariot. I can't figure out (given your similar behaviour all over this wiki) whether you're a smart troll or a stupid idealist. Please, grow some common sense, or stay silent until you have something of worth to contribute. --<span style="font-size:90%">[[User:Funt Solo|Funt Solo]]</span> <sup style="font-size:70%">[[Mod_Conspiracy|QT]]</sup> [[Image:Scotland flag.JPG|18px]] 23:03, 9 October 2008 (BST)

| :''If he can be found guilty or not guilty of misconduct then he '''must''' still have sysop status. There is no other way for it to be.'' Nah, the relevant inquiry would be his status '''at the time of the alleged offense'''. A finding of misconduct committed while he was still unquestionably a sysop would be misconduct even if he happens to be an ex-sysop at the time the ruling comes down, no? -- {{User:Atticus Rex/Sig}} 06:36, 10 October 2008 (BST)

| Grim is not a sysop and was demoted from the position of 'crat for a reason. Odd Starter couldn't regain his seat, I don't see why that would be the case here. There, simple answer.

| #:One need not be a bureaucrat -- nor even a sysop -- to draft and advocate for the policy changes that Grim was planning.
