Board Thread:General Wiki Discussion/@comment-24463401-20140527230411

Hello, today I am here to deal with the overabundance of demotion threads in the last couple of months. The plan I have made is called Natural Election. Natural Election is a three step process that will determine the capability of current moderator staff. This plan is to once and for all bite the bullet and remove rights from moderators that are unfit for their rights for a multitude of reasons. This should also allow current moderators who keep their rights to funtion better on the job. Without further a due, I present to you Natural Election.

Phase one: Reapplication.

Set one of the plan is for all current moderators to make an application as if they were applying to the job for the first time. The exception to this would be any moderators promoted after the date of March 31st, and that does not include users who rights were reinstated. Considering they are relatively new, a simple assessment would be fine. All mods must have their applications submitted within a month of the plan going into effect. This is to find any inactive moderator who are still within our staff. Exceptions may be made with VALID excuses for a deadline extension.

Phase two: Discussion

This step will be a forum created for the sole purpose of users evaluating all mods' abilities. This forum will have VALID points. This should not be you defending your friends, it should you be pointing out flaws and befits to keeping these mods. This discussion will be monitored and any invalid responses will be ignored. No mods will be able to comment on the thread. It should be a thread where users get to voice their opinion. Please do not let it devolve into senseless drama. Don't take criticism personally, it's people doing what they believe is best. Replys to the forum should be sensible, and should be made based on your personal experience and a mod's application. This thread will be closed at a predetermined period.

Phase three: Execution of Natural Election

This is the third and final step. It should also be the simplest. After the thread is closed, the admins and B'crats will make a decision based on three factors. 1. Personal experience 2. Applications 3. User's testimony. They will make the final decision as to which mods get to keep their rights, and which do not. This will be the final decision and after this point, reapplication will either be closed forever or delayed for a certain amount of time. This final step will be the defining moment of the plan.

So this is Natural Election. Any concerns you have please voice them, and a compromise will be made. This should eliminate the thinking that moderator status is a badge you get to wear for being an ok user. I hope to put this plan into effect soon to decrease the drama spilling over into the main site, and end demotion threads once and for all.
