I don't think that is what ThePrivateer meant.Ttech wrote:So you are proposing people get cycled as moderators and admins?
As for responsibility and trust, and how to come about it, personally I just spent a crazy amount of time on irc and here as well, mainly answering q's on scripting and modding. Since I work with the web on a daily basis it just felt natural one day to ask George for some moderation rights. In other words, I never really did anything special to deserve it, just spent a lot of time here and had fun doing what I like (scripting).ThePrivateer wrote:The goal is really just to reflect within the community who we respect and trust
I think these things in the end come about naturally. Just like ppl will know you ThePrivateer by your actions and your posts. That should in the end be respect enough, should it not? If what you want to do is spend more time administrating the community, there are plenty of things to do. Just ask, and I would be glad to delegate a task to you :D (send me a pm or drop me a line on irc).
Otherwise I think it would be nice with some notability ranks, and other fun ranks. It is a game after all! :D. We just need to come up with something that works and makes sense. And something fun.
However, the whole voting thing seems a bit, uhm, optimistic? Not sure if it would work. On the other hand, it might be the only way it can work... I know for sure that I would not want to run more polls (as in manage them). Need to think more about that one...
