TFF Governance

Then the result would be "One admin, someone with a backup account they're not to use."

Because 10+12+16+9=37.
37>30>20.
Inside that 37, "One admin, someone with a backup account they're not to use." is the highest with 16 votes.

Honestly while I appreciate your intention, this is a really bad way of determining a poll. There's no guarantee that the other 21 people who voted for a variation of 1+B would not have changed their vote to 1 or 2 if the option they voted for was not on the table. It would only take 4 of them deciding they would prefer only 1 admin to the populist version of 1+B for the 1 admin option to have a majority over 1+B.

The vote should really be for 1, 1+B or 2. You can work out the details of the systems after the framework has been decided.

For the record I voted for 2.

Your solution doesn't change anything.

1+B would still win in your scenario, and then go a vote and the same option would end up winning.

Voted.

mod forum.

As in a private mod-only section of the site, or what? If so I'd say no.

I'm personally fond of a 2 admin system where one defers to the other in most/all matters. This has typically worked well in my experience. Being the sole admin on a fairly busy forum such as this can be a very tiring job and is a recipe for burnout unless you enjoy such things - as I can attest to and as I'm sure Shirotsume has found out in his short stint; having a deputy (i.e. someone you can dump all your work on when you get really busy ) has been a godsend at times for me on the forums which I have administrated.

Unfortunately, there's really no system that both protects the forum against an admin going rogue and also won't be a huge pain in the ass.

I'd support a private mod forum if it will ONLY be used for discussing punishments and similar things which the general membership really doesn't need to see... a public shaming typically doesn't help anything and that would likely be an unpleasant byproduct of a fully-public moderator forum.

I pretty much agree with everything ShotgunWilly said, I'd rather not one admin who burns out and cracks under the workload, he/she will need a backup admin who can jump in if they ever need to take a vacation or something. You better make dang sure your backup admin is trustworthy though.

 

[seitora]

Made my vote.

 

[TFF_Admin]

Vote has concluded.

Final result, winning by a landslide, "Two admins, but one defers on work."

 

[ArchfiendRai]

Looks like it.

When will we be voting on the actual mods and admins?

 

[Shirotsume]

I'll probably set up the nominations tommorow. After nominations are done, we can vote.
