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)
