To vote, a user must:
 * 1) Be an active member of the Animal Crossing Wiki for at least one week at the time the voting begins.
 * 2) Have 10 or more mainspace edits at the time the voting begins.

 * }


 * Use a support to vote in favor of the proposal. Use an oppose to vote against the proposal.
 * A candidate is not permitted to vote for their own proposal.
 * A vote will run for 14 days. After the 2 weeks, the votes will be counted. A proposal must have at least 2/3 (66.6%) of the votes as a support in order for it to pass.
 * An applicant can and should direct users to this page during their proposal. However, excessive spamming of the link may result in the proposal being closed prematurely.
 * If no judgment is reached after 2 weeks, the proposal is moved to the archives. The applicant may try again after 4 weeks.

Move proposals of all types to discussion forums
Cleaner, no edit conflicts or mucking around with people not signing their votes, tidier, no chance for votes to be edited by other users, and it would make the forums more active which may help a little bit to draw people to our community - Dragonfree97 [ talk  ] 21:20, July 11, 2016 (UTC)

Reopen requests for rights/promotion
I think that we should open up promotion slots again. We currently only have 1 active bureaucrat when we need 2, we currently only have 2 admins, one of our admins is willing to be promoted to bureaucrat but in order to do that we will need to open up proposals for admin to have at least 2 admins.

 * Pokemon sports 2000 vote removed due to insufficient mainspace edits at the start of polling

Remove cap on number of admins - it is unfair that people do not get the chance to be promoted even if they meet the requirements just because there are already a certain number of admins, active or not. - User:Kiasne 22:58, July 10, 2016 (UTC)

Since we are short on staff at the moment, I feel that it would be a good time to open up the proposals again. As long as we are careful with how many admins and chat mods we have, I don't see anything wrong with it. There should be a limit, since we don't need too many active mods and admins, but when we have as few active staff members as we do, we should open up promotions again and see who would be interested in having those rights.

Seems like a good idea in order to establish more necessary admins/bcrats. Sbd01 (talk) 21:25, July 11, 2016 (UTC)

I think this is a pretty ridiculous request. Have you all forgotten why the promotion requests were closed to begin? Everyone went crazy trying to obtain rights and it ended up in people completely unqualified running our wiki. Also, promoting me to a bureaucrat so there are two does not mean I lose my administrative powers. I will still be an admin. Just because Anna would be the only sole admin does not mean she is alone. Also, caps on user rights are not official. We can have however many people we want, it's just not safe to have an extreme amount. Vote how you will, and I see I'm already too late in the game for this to not pass, but I think promotions should be left in the hands of admins. And staff is hardly short considering Fang or Seth can be brought back here with a simple message wall bump and there are typically 2-4 users with rights on chat at all times. нσα (тαℓк ) 01:23, July 11, 2016 (UTC)

We already have enough active staff members at the moment, and like HOA said, any semi-active person can always and easily be contacted. Moreover, who is/are going to be the next admin(s)? Do we have anyone here that's actually qualified to be an admin? No. This issue is more about who is actually mature enough and knowledgeable enough about this wiki than about who has enough edits. Again, '''we already have more than enough staff members on-site. This wiki isn't that large.'  S t a t i c THE'' sbnᴉɹɹǝl  | Talk 01:54, July 11, 2016 (UTC)

When we feel we need staff, and there is a user or user(s) who are worthy, we'll contact them. The real candidates for staff positions are not usually the sort of people to stand up and ask for promotions. The old promotion requests was closed because...well, 90% of the users requesting were very new, did not have many edits, or otherwise. If we ever want community input on potential staff members, we'll be sure to let you know. Taliseth ♑....(sing)✦✦✦✧✧ 05:03, July 11, 2016 (UTC)

There seems to be enough staff running this Wiki to worry about giving more promotions. Even though the Proposals Page could be efficient it might not be the best way to do this sort of thing these days. Larsenv the 2nd (talk) 20:33, July 11, 2016 (UTC)

That was in 2013, HOA. I am not implying we start mass promoting unqualified people. Whilst I agree there was far too many chat moderators at the time, that was because our requirements weren't as strict. I just feel that we've had promotions shut for far too long and it's unfair for the people who want to take on being an admin just because there's a couple odd semi-active admins floating about. "The real candidates for staff positions are usually not the sort of people to stand up and ask for promotions." You have to start somewhere, besides I'm sure that the majority of the current staff had become admins through proposals, at least I know that I did. It's not right to brush somebody off because they asked to become admin, and also, why just suddenly decide that it's only up to the opinion of the admins? the rest of the community is affected too. Having one extra admin isn't going bring up our staff to an "extreme amount" btw. And anyways, this is about opening up proposals for applying to become an admin, I am not trying to suggest we straight away start promoting people. If we do end up opening promotion slots again we still have to run through another vote on whether or not the person applying is fit to be an admin. BlueeCookie (talk) 21:17, July 11, 2016 (UTC)

TIL me and fanguy are 'a couple odd semi-active admins' - Dragonfree97 [ talk  ] 21:18, July 11, 2016 (UTC)

That wasn't directed towards you and fanguy, I was talking about Fang and Seth and the rest of them who are actually labelled semi-active. BlueeCookie (talk) 21:21, July 11, 2016 (UTC)

yeah fair enough - Dragonfree97 [ talk  ] 21:22, July 11, 2016 (UTC)
