Um not that I fully understand the current system (or the new one Semicolon is trying to put in for that matter) but why no tmake this like the presidential voting process? We treat the smashwiki community like the public vote and the sysops like the electoral college. Just a small and not very thought out suggestion.--[[User:Oxico|Oxico]] ([[User talk:Oxico|talk]]) 22:38, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

You have taken the trouble to write a legalistic procedure. I'm not sure that is smart, but we'll see. However, you missed to ensure that the vote ratio is based on a significant number of votes: a 1:0 tally would exceed 5:2, but I wouldn't promote anybody based on that. I'd go with a simple two-thirds majority (4:2) and a minimum of 6 votes. If a candidate doesn't get more than those, too many people don't know him or her for him/her to be a trusted admin. --[[User:M.mendel|◄mendel►]] ([[User talk:M.mendel|talk]]) 00:36, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
