I agree that the cunt thing needs to be observed. It's been brought up so many times it gives me a headache, it's time we actually allowed a full vote once and for all in a civil thread, and just take care of it already. I understand why the thread was closed, but I don't think that's really an appropriate move. Just get it done and over with. Give the thread 3 days to get everybody's say, then tally the votes.

The firefighter example wasn't really a very good one.

It's a bit more like a politician. Before a mayor gets into office they have to demonstrate that they're capable of holding the power, that they've actively been a contributive member of the community at large and would continue to stay a benefit to the community. An "active editor" is a bit of a erroneous description of it, it's not even that we're asking to them be an active editor, we're requiring they hit the bare fucking minimum to A) gain knowledge of the website B) show that they're capable and C) make an actual contribution to the website as a whole, even if it's just a small one.
