May I ask why, though? When I first asked Bluerfn about electing new staff, he said that it "needed to be more transparent, and I needed to show that it was the community wanted", so you can probably see how this new decision is confusing.}}

{{BebopKate|time=23:01, August 10, 2010 (UTC)|text=I think Bluer and I got very concerned with how much time was being dedicated to staff elections.  We had a huge conversation about it just now, and we had another massive one not two months ago.  He and I think, much as we value the input and opinions of everyone, that much too much time has been spent on it.
It's also part of the wiki being a wiki, I think.  Some editors think there needs to be staff present ''all'' the time.  The fact is we can't.  We're not a massive wiki like FF Wiki.  We have lives; you know this quite well. ^_^  Adding more editors just to "cover the bases" really isn't going to help anything.  I think we just need to tighten our the skills of the current roster.  Also, some people are going to have to learn to be patient and help us control the situation until we can get here. ^_-
One other small concern is not in this case, but for the future.  There is a chance someone would try push an election through just so they can have a shot at being a staff member.  We're not trying to remain all-powerful, but we do want people to understand that being a staffer is nothing to be taken lightly, and is a position of responsibility, not superiority.
It's certainly nothing you did, Kryten, if that's your concern.  You've been very fair and reasonable in the situation, you handled the conversations well, and have made some great suggestions.  I don't know if promoting me was one of your better ideas, though... ^_^  Seriously, if anyone has any issues with this decision, you may kindly point them to Bluer or myself.}}
