I feel a little uneasy about this, though I trust you and your staff's decisions.

This. I do not believe that these new rules would not and could not be abused at some point. If the rationale for major faction demotion is now totally at the whim of the staff, then theoretically if two-thirds of the staff have an issue with a certain faction, they can basically force it to fold for whatever reason they can come up with, regardless of how active the faction is. These new rules have completely thrown out the only series of checks and balances for majors, and turned it into more of an "We don't like this faction as major, so we're demoting it" thing.Darth Vitium said:[member="Tefka"]

1. Yes.sabrina said:I do have two questions, will the faction be given a reason why they are being demoted?
Also will the faction admin be able to plead their case, to why they should stay major?
The checks and balances were thrown out because they were inefficient, archaic time-sinks.Enigma said:This. I do not believe that these new rules would not and could not be abused at some point.

That...is an interesting suggestion. I'm pretty convinced it's not needed. It's tough to appease everyone on a site, but you all are doing well and are transparent with your efforts. But I'm not Engima, can't stop 'em from making a poll like that.Tefka said:The checks and balances were thrown out because they were inefficient, archaic time-sinks.
If you have a problem with the Staff team currently presiding, might I suggest that you start a poll to see if the community thinks Staff should be democratically voted into their positions.
It's not, nor would it ever be seriously considered.Reverance said:That...is an interesting suggestion. I'm pretty convinced it's not needed.
