Nixon wasn't competent nor was he popular. Xkeeper is both. The hell is your point? |

....I don't like Richard Nixon?
He was popular enough to be elected president. |

I don't see where your argument is going. At all.
This is not a fucking democracy. |

Okay, then I won't have to worry about people not voting for Alastor.  |

Posted by Kles You've finally hit the head of a problem with the majority of forums! There's no direct means in place for standard users to: 1. Elect staff. 2. Vote on changes to layout, functionality, etc.. 3. Get mods and admins who abuse or neglect their power removed. Instead, a small group of generally 1-5 holds all ability to make significant decisions. That fact is not sustainable in the real world. There has to be checks and balances to keep authority from becoming overly biased. ____________________  |

Okay, so we just put Alastor in power as supreme head of the board. Problem solved.
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO SEES THIS |

Democracy slows down the process. The idea is that with forums, you have to do something to keep your userbase; anger too many and they'll leave. It brings incentives to learn what keeps the userbase happy and leads to a better relationship than "Here's your ballot, assholes, vote on it"...
Democracy works in the real world because "outright leaving" isn't an option 99$ of the time. With a forum, it's just pack up and head out. Beyond that, I think giving Alastor any kind of power is the stupidest idea I've heard in a long time, although the Pokemon Forum idea is pretty damn close. ____________________ I dealt with it. |

Kill one internets, it's a tragedy.
Kill a million, and it's a statistic. |

Yeah, unfortunately. Most users don't take such things seriously. Assuming they care at all. This makes #3 the most relevant point.
Disgarding why everything happened, that doesn't matter. Fact is... We had a popular admin removed/leave, while current ones are questionable in the eyes of certain members. ____________________ |

It's not that this thread is spiraling out of control or anything, but we can do without it. ____________________  |
