Quote:By the way, why is the number of staff needed to make a decision as you say: 6? Surely there needs to be an odd number?
Not that it's any of your damn business, but the quorum system was proposed and then discussed by all Staff before being enabled (and in fact has been under review for some weeks). The six total was felt to be the most fair to the forum and its member base, since that really only applies to higher power actions with harder hitting effects (permanent bans etc). Lesser actions, including thread lockdowns, merges etc - you know, the actual bread and butter work of maintaining a forum that hardly anyone moans about - require increasingly smaller quorum consensus. Basic actions such as post moderation and killing spambots don't require any discussion or quorum at all, beyond the judgement of individual Staff members. In fact, I've often wondered how some of you would react if we went on strike for a week or so.
Basically, please tell us how to do our job again. It always gets a laugh.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
