2/25/2012 1:38:05 PM Posted: 6 years ago I think 7 months is the appropriate term length.

2/25/2012 2:40:42 PM Posted: 6 years ago Well, I was going to urge the site to consider a one year term for the President, starting at the end of my term. I would put a caveat with that, where at any time a President can be recalled for any reason where the site has a majority or perhaps a set number in agreement of the recall.
I also haven't figured what should be done with mod powers. I am quite hesitant to have the two combined, and am unsure how to approach the whole thing with Juggle. It needs to be understood that Juggle chose me as a mod not because I was president, although the two together when properly managed is ideal. I don't think everyone understands the gravity of being a mod, nor should it be treated so lightly. The same can be said of being a president, but the worst case scenario of that is the position goes back to being a popularity contest. |

Much of it has been a job of service, doing maintenance, and resolving conflict. For me there has been a lot of interaction with Juggle that has been a component of being both president and Mod. I read someone say that I haven't been very available, that's not true at all, I just haven't been active in the forums and in debate. I am in continuous communication with my inner circle, and am very fastidious in my PM's and monitoring the reports. I am not active overtly in the site, but behind the scenes I'm usually pretty busy with stuff. |

2/25/2012 4:14:07 PM Posted: 6 years ago Keeping it a six month term means making it more of a popularity contest.
If it revolves quickly from one person to the next every 6 months, I can guarantee you that it will be a much less seriously taken position. You might as well elect Cosmic for all it matters. I have given this a lot of thought, and I can tell you that there is no point in connecting mod to president if it's 6 months. |

I can't think of any serious roles in the real world that last only 6 months. Even high school presidents get a year. There should be at least a 1 month training program for the past president to train the former president. Even then, one can't learn everything there is to be as president. It's more of an art rather then a precise science. Open borders debate: http://www.debate.org... |
