FIRST! DO NOT START VOTING YET! Read this first:
Here was what I proposed in the Recycle Bin:
(start) Rough Draft:
How about an unofficial elected body. A person needs 1500 posts to be able to vote. There are 3 offices, each with equal standing. Terms are set at 1 month. Can be reelected, but not to consecutive terms (elected, then the next month ineligible, then elected, then ineligible, etc).
Roles would be moderators in debates they aren't involved in, and informal advisors to the moderators.
Let the plebs have a voice! (end)
I propose a few modifications to the origional draft: You have to have 700 posts to vote, and also, you need 1500 to hold office. Each person with at least 700 posts will be allowed to vote for 3 people. The 3 people who hold the most votes are then elected as councilers.
Also, you cannot vote for someone who has not announced thier candidacy. This is important, and will keep the list of names shorter. I will update THIS post with the names of people who announce themselves as candidates. Once it seems like everyone who wants to run is running, we will vote. After the council is voted in, they can draft a constitution, make amendments, and propose legislation.
Done right, this could be a really fun exercise in government. I imagine it will actually reflect an accurate portrail of how real government works on a basic level. Also, please keep this council in this thread for now. It is important that we not make this consume the forums for days. Keep it in here.
So, if you want to run for one of the three council member spots, announce your candidacy now. Also, if you want to openly discuss the idea, you may do so here as well.
People who have announced thier candidacy:

Great, so people who are under post count get shafted. People with at least 500 should be able to VOTE at least.
Why do people even care about this >.>
People act like MyTie's posts are the words of god.

I suppose 700 would be adequate. How does everyone else feel? Anyone wanna throw out numbers?

I agree with Laihendi. You all can shape this how you want... I just got the ball rolling.

Instead of voting and stuff... why not just let the mods do their job and listen to who they want to?

Personally Laihendi, I don't revere MyTie. To be perfectly honest, I don't really like the guy, no offense to you, MyTie. But I like the idea he's proposing.
L33t, you can't run, you need 1500 accodring to teh rulez.
I do have 1500. Deleted posts count. :)

No one can stop you... but that's not really what I had in mind. If people start nominating.. names will fly and get uncontrollable... Id prefer if people can only nominate themselves, for sanity sake. But again, I'm not the only voice of this thing.
@Laihendi - thats why it is unofficial..... come on... have fun with it.
