This page is for the election of Bureaucrats.

Rules

Rules for starting an election.

1. When a Bureaucrat resigns, or loses his status due to demotion or inactivity an election is started immediately.
   • A Bureaucrat that hasn't made a single edit in one month is considered as inactive and forfeits his status as bureaucrat.
2. After 3 months with no elections on a bureaucrat position, an election is called for the bureaucrat position longest without an election.
3. If, for any reason, an individual Bureaucrat position hasn't faced an election after 12 months, then an election is called after that period.
4. The election ends after two weeks wiki time counting from the when the election is started.
5. The candidate with the most votes wins the election.
6. In the event of a tied vote the remaining bureaucrats will decide between the tied candidates.

Rules concerning candidates

1. All active users with the sysops status are automatically declared candidates for any vacant Bureaucrat positions.
   • Users with at least 12 edits in the 30 days before the election are considered "active" for purposes of the election.
2. The Bureaucrat whose position comes up for election if said election is started under rule 2 of Rules for starting an election is automatically declared a candidate.
   • Unless said otherwise, a bureaucrat who lost its powers through demotion cannot run for bureaucrat on the election that will fill its position
3. A candidate can retract his own candidacy at any time.

Rules concerning voting.

1. All users have only one vote per bureaucrat position to be filled.
2. Users vote for a candidate by signing under the preferred candidates name.
   • Users can't cast more than one vote per candidate.
3. Users may change their votes for a candidate as long as the election has not ended.
   • Multiple votes at the same time will be struck.
4. Sockpuppetry is considered vandalism.

Election Space

Due to a demotion request by Link, a new 'crat election (yes another one) is now under-way to replace him. This election will close on the 28th of September at around 11pm BST. -- Cheese 23:00, 10 September 2009 (BST)

*24th. The election lasts 2 weeks. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 04:12, 11 September 2009 (BST)

I don't know why but I thought it was the 14th. =/ I fail at maths. -- Cheese 13:50, 12 September 2009 (BST)

Eligible Candidates

Cyberbob240

1. I don't want Bob as a crat, but he's probably closest to what would be my ideal candidate. No personal issues with Cheese but I wouldn't support him under normal circumstances, so I won't do so just because he lucks out on passing a bid straight before a BP election (see Feb/August elections also). --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 00:14, 11 September 2009 (BST)
2. As DDR. And for some weird reason, I feel Bob will be the sense of sanity for a while.--SirArgo ^Talk 00:52, 11 September 2009 (BST)

   Aw, thanks you guys. You're probably wasting your votes though - Cheese is practically a shoe-in for this one. Cyberbob  Talk  01:55, 11 September 2009 (BST)

3. Should be entertaining. Er, wait. I don't think that way. Would be a very logical and smart decision, is what I mean. Ehem. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 01:16, 11 September 2009 (BST) I'm Cyberbob!
4. YES!-- #99 ^DCC 02:46, 11 September 2009 (BST)
5. We need another Grim with what's been going on lately :| --Haliman - Talk 02:51, 11 September 2009 (BST)

   But I'm not really anything like Grim :| Cyberbob  Talk  04:00, 11 September 2009 (BST)

   Seconded :/ --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 04:12, 11 September 2009 (BST)

   grim hates cyberbob. grim considers him nothing but an uber-troll. --WanYao 04:13, 11 September 2009 (BST)

   I meant it as dry humour. I meant we need someone to take charge. --Haliman - Talk 04:20, 11 September 2009 (BST)

   Yeah you're just wrong. I don't think cyberbob will "take charge" in the way grim did or you want him to...--xoxo 07:20, 11 September 2009 (BST)

6. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 03:56, 11 September 2009 (BST)
7. Yeah, he's not Grim. Well, perhaps Grim with a more puerile sense of humour, or maybe he's playing an odd reverse-game of trying to prove Gabe's GIF Theory, it's rather regardless. I do suspect he'll try to keep his own drama down a bit, since now he's be a 'crat, at least until his head explodes and he attempts to lock out all other 'crats.-Wulfenbach 07:53, 11 September 2009 (BST)
8. I think he has matured like a fine cheese...yummy--C Whitty 11:53, 18 September 2009 (BST)

I would just like to add a small note here- I would like to become a bureaucrat, if not for the simple reason that I can guarantee that I will be on daily to tend to the crat's duties. Simply, that is the only true issue I've had with the crat's behaviour of late, and the only thing I'd currently aim to fix. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 16:33, 12 September 2009 (BST)

8. The only choice available. I don't trust Cyberbob with the current drama, The General has shown nothing but inactivity and apathy when defending the wiki and Cheese is going back to uni which will make him absent. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 16:42, 12 September 2009 (BST)

   Funnily enough, I'm actually more active at uni than I am otherwise. =p -- Cheese 01:19, 13 September 2009 (BST)
