TheFifteenthMember Yes. You're creepy. I can't say we'll miss you while you're gone, so it'd be best if you did go. We all win that way. — TheFifteenthMember 19:16, 12 September 2014 (UTC) In September's roundtable, we couldn't come to a conclusion whether we wanted the staff election or not. Instead, we decided to open a petition to help us judge. If it receives many votes, we'll interpret the positive reaction as a "yes" to having a staff election. If the result is underwhelming, the election will not go on. To clarify, this petition will only decide whether we want an election or not in the first place. It's not deciding who will be the new staff members. If an election happens, it'll be the current staff ultimately deciding that. To sum up: if you are in favour of a staff election, add your signature below. EDIT: We're implementing a new system. Now, you can vote for or against so everyone should get involved and voice their opinion.

Should we have a "Votes FOR" and "Votes AGAINST" or keep it as it is now? TheFifteenthMember 19:16, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

I think the former, as it gives opportunity to voice why not. We'll also be able to tell the difference between not wanting an election, and general site inactivity. KeybladeSpyMaster 19:29, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Done. TheFifteenthMember 19:40, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Remind me, what called this on? What projects need "staff power" help? Chainoffire 19:59, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

There hasn't been a particular ignition trigger, however with more staff leaving/becoming inactive, an extra helping hand would be useful to slightly relieve the workload of the current staff. TheFifteenthMember 20:08, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Imo, any respected and well known community member should be able to apply for a staff position at any time (with an obvious limit to how often you can apply), it's then up to the community to decide to be for it or against it. No special elections should be needed, it's just a bureaucratic speed bump. Sove 20:33, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
