Bottom post of the previous page:
The position of "Headmin" has come to mean far too much without the checks and balances afforded by having a group of them. The current state is that of a "leader for life" with total power over policy decisions and administrative control. This is purely by chance, having resulted from the other two dropping off the face of the Earth. For good or ill, I present that this causes stagnation and the promotion of a status-quo which provides the current holder free-reign to abuse that authority. This thread is not designed to call into question the abilities or judgement of a particular administrator. It is simply to judge the validity of what "Headmins" have evolved into. Not by conscious edict, but by circumstance.Our elections or the abolishment of this system in favor of a different one (something that has been discussed both publically and privately for a number of months previous to this thread) are long overdue. The goal here in short is to include the public's opinion on the current system, the possible replacements, and to promote awareness regarding the issue so that we might see some sort of change or evaluation come to fruition sooner. Several admins, myself included, would be very interested to hear your opinions.
Among the proposed alternatives, which is by no means a comprehensive or official list, are...
1) A triumvirate selected with (1) decided by SoS, (1) decided by the public and (1) decided by admins.
2) Removal of Headmins in their entirety
3) Elections, be they public or private, to re-evaluate the current candidates.
And remember folks, please do try and keep it civil. I flubbed that pretty hard already by myself.
