I'm with pad on this, but I'm going to stay out of the voting because it should be you guys who decide. In all honesty, a popularity contest was exactly what I thought would make it an unsavory prospect.
NoMoreFaith, there has never been a scenario such as you have described of which I am aware. However, you can rest assured that if a majority were to loathe a staff member for good reason and forum misconduct, it would be dealt with. I disagree that there should be popularity contests against staff members, though. If they are demonstrably abusing their position, then there is a problem that staff can deal with. Members do not oust staff based on irritation. There is a very good reason for that too. More often than not, people get pissed when they get warnings. Some people run in groups here. If someone gets a warning for a good reason, they may be able to oust a staff member for no reason. In short, fuck that. I would hate to see a member of the team go because of some pissy rule breaker.
