FAQ

• What is a Bureaucrat?

  • A Bureaucrat (sometimes called a crat) is a user with the special ability to promote and demote users to and from administrative roles (i.e. Bureaucrat and System Operator) on Urban Dead Wiki.
  • Like other administrative roles on the wiki, Bureaucrats do not have any control over the game or its operation. Their responsibilities are strictly related to the wiki.

• Who gets to be a Bureaucrat?

  • System Operators (usually called sysops) who are elected by the community can become Bureaucrats. For more information on how to become a sysop, read the Promotions page.
  • The wiki maintains two Bureaucrats at all times, with elections occurring every six months or in response to the demotion of a sitting Bureaucrat.
  • A sitting Bureaucrat can run for re-election, provided they meet all eligibility requirements (e.g. they're not inactive), with no limits on how many terms they can serve.

• Who can vote?

  • All wiki users are allowed to vote. Users are eligible for one vote per seat that is up for election.
  • Sysops running in the election are allowed to vote for themselves.

Rules

Rules concerning the election.

1. An election is started immediately upon the resignation or demotion of a sitting Bureaucrat.
2. Both Bureaucrat seats are up for election every six months, on June 1st and December 1st.
3. The election ends after two weeks, counting from the when the election is started.
4. The candidates with the most and second-most votes win the election.
5. In the event of a tied vote the currently sitting 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 who are not eligible for automatic demotion by the Truly Inactive Sysops policy are considered "active" for purposes of the election.
2. The Bureaucrats whose positions come up for election if said election is started under rule 2 of Rules concerning the election are automatically declared candidates.
   • Unless said otherwise, a Bureaucrat who is demoted due to inactivity is not eligible in the ensuing election to fill their seat.
3. A candidate can retract their own candidacy at any time.

Rules concerning voting.

1. All users have only one vote per Bureaucrat position to be filled.
   • This means that, in regular elections started under rule 2 of Rules concerning the election, each user has two votes. In unscheduled elections started under rule 1, each user has only one vote.
2. Users vote for a candidate by signing under the preferred candidate's name.
   • Users cannot 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.

   I'm all for taking out what doesn't belong here but that also includes the vote that isn't mine. Please strike that. --Murderess (talk) 11:30, 2 December 2018 (UTC) Struck as it is, again, not a vote, and thus should go on the talk page. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 12:04, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

1. Gotta take advantage of my last opportunity. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 04:01, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
2. I have tried already last time to vote for Aichon using minor edits, so he won't suspect me of using the same tactic twice in a row! -- Spiderzed▋ 05:13, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Thank guys, but I’ll be resuming my tradition of withdrawing. Besides which, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to run, given my imminent demotion. —Aichon— 05:33, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

1. my vote is on Aichon. Hope to see you again someday, love ya ! REAL sig !! lol --Murderess (talk) 01:24, 2 December 2018 (UTC) Struck as coming in after the withdrawal. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 04:44, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
