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.
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.
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

The next round of bureaucrat promotions is scheduled to start in January of 2009.

A Helpful Little Gnome has demoted himself in the fallout from the last sysop promotion, therefore one position is to be filled by one of the below.

The election will end at 11:30, 4 December.

The current time (depending on caching issues) is 02:56, 7 November.

Eligible Candidates

User:Boxy

1. all hail Boxy By far the best candidate at this time(cos everyone else i would vote for is likely to withdraw) --Honestmistake 11:42, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
2. boxy über alles --Midianian ^{Big Brother Diary Room: [511,20]} 11:58, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

   Because I don't know how active Karek is going to be over the next few months. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 13:16, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

3. Ditto if Karek is going to be around more than i'll change my vote.----Sexualharrison 14:19, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

   I'm done traveling for the year, which means yes, starting today I will be around.--Karek^maps?! 17:32, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

4. Since I'm apparently the worst 'crat ever, lets balance it out with someone who knows what he's doing. -- Cheese 16:19, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
5. Dunno if you even want it, mate, but you're far and away the best candidate for the job. -- Atticus Rex ^{mfu pif} Δ 16:55, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

11. Yes - I trust him. Meh. --Haliman - Talk 01:40, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
12. Yes - Although I don't totally trust him, he is the best candidate standing this time. Swires will withdraw, I don't trust J3D yet (needs more experience, no offense,) I don't see Hangat enough, and I don't really mind Nubis and Karek, but don't like them enough to vouch.

User:Nubis

1. cuz evil is funner --WanYao 11:56, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

   all seriousness aside... ;P in spite of our differences, i trust nubis a lot more than a lot of other recent crats. etc... and, i feel like voting for someone different from the usual batch. --WanYao 11:58, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

   Wan, even though we have had differences I hope that I have at least shown that I can admit when I am wrong. (And that I am not wrong that often :P heh) --– Nubis ^NWO 15:27, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

2. for the horde --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 12:44, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
3. I'm going to vote for myself. Why the fuck not? --– Nubis ^NWO 20:40, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

   we did had a bit about voting for self should be considered poor form, and that sysops should vote in any other whom they think could do the work right... and i cant remind any sysop ever voting for self based on this principle... but poor form is not against the rules, so nevermind. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 21:18, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

   Voting for yourself is not bad form it's just conceited. :P Not to mention the last few people I voted for didn't work out. I want to support a candidate I can believe in. I believe in myself.--– Nubis ^NWO 05:32, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

4. Same as Wan Yao. Change we can believe in. --#XX - Jack Sparta ^TMG 01:30, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
