The Admins have voted unanimously against moving forward the discussion of this proposal.
I've been harping on the bureaucracy of this proposal, but again my biggest problem is this. From the OP:
This can be weaponized by random people who hate Faction Staff to join in rapidly and vote, while not having any stake in the faction's future itself.
- Counter-argument: Possibly true. But if this gets implemented Chaos Staff should be the end judge on it. They review the vote and make sure its kosher. It is quite obvious to see if 20 people joined in just to vote against a Faction Staff they don't like.
To win against the bad Major Faction Owners of the world, let's empower the Chaos Admins with the ability to delegitimize votes.
The same Staff who, for the last 10 years, we can't figure out if we like or not.
The same Staff who are led by the biggest banana republic dictator on the site.
The same Staff who can't have a Factory Admin and a Codex Admin join the same faction bc "hurr durr CIS staff."
The same Staff who get accused of bias on days that end in "y", or have LITERALLY GOTTEN DEATH THREATS because of how emotionally stunted this community can be over a Star Wars map game.
Yeah, let's create a voting system and rely on Staff to tell people who's votes count or not.
Major Factions, you have the power to institute your own rules to relinquish leadership positions. Major Factions, you have the authority to institute your own "Votes of No Confidences" that can result in a Major Faction Owner stepping down. You don't need me to do it, and you don't need me to oversee the vote.
You're on your own. Do it your damn selves.
