Mister Sheen
Sheen has been an editor of the wiki for a bit more than a year now. One of the primary contributors to the "Great White South" timeline, he has also contributed in some manner to several other of the community timelines. He's also shown a willingness to hep others. As such, I nominate him for the position of Constable. Lordganon 23:13, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

CheesyCheese
Cheese has been an editor of the wiki for a little more than a year as well. Primarily, his work has been with his "Canadian Independence" timeline, but he has contributed to several community projects as well. He has shown himself to be willing to help others, as well as able to "keep cool" when someone opposes him. As such, I nominate him for the position of Constable.

Smoggy80
Smoggy, probably our sole female editor, has been editing the wiki for over two years now. She's shown a willingness to help others, or to offer helpful opinions, along with her work editing articles for Doomsday and several timeline ideas of her own that she's started. I also consider her to be one of those among us who are most likely to be a voice of reason, and she has also done a pretty good job with her Constable position. As such, I nominate her for the position of Lieutenant in the TSPTF. Lordganon 17:43, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

SouthWriter
South has been an editor of the wiki for quite some time now. As a Lieutenant, he's proved himself quite effective at helping to administer the wiki, especially with regards to keeping the peace. Many times have I seen him willing to offer advice, or to lend a hand with a timeline, but also as a sounding-board in general. In short, he's always willing to help others. As such, I nominate him for the position of Brass in the TSPTF. Lordganon 23:13, May 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Supporters
 * I was considering asking LG and Oerwinde myself to consider South. He is definitely worthy of the position and is of the same caliber, IMO, of such retired Brass members as Mitro and Louisiannan. BrianD 00:25, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

BrianD
Brian is another long-standing editor of this wiki. As a Lieutenant, he has proved himself, in my opinion at least, of being an able administrator. His involvement with regards to editing lies primarily in the world of 1983, where he is a great aid in making articles able to graduate, but he is always willing to lend a hand wherever it is needed. I've seen him go above and beyond when it comes to dealing with messes around here, along with routine things such as reverting vandalism and helping others. As such, I nominate him for the position of Brass in the TSPTF. Lordganon 23:13, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

I am honored to have been nominated by Lordganon and accept the nomination. I've been active for just over two years and have tried to be productive in creating articles and in helping maintain the wiki in general and 1983:DD in particular. I want to continue to do both, and also to be more helpful and supportive of all editors who contribute here. BrianD 00:22, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Impeachment
It is entirely possible that a member of the TSTPF may neglect his duties and/or abuse their power. If this happens they must have their user rights removed. To keep it fair, the following procedure has been adopted.

Rules

 * User who feels a TSPTF member should be impeached from his position, must first contact the TSPTF on their talk page with their complaint and attempt to work out the issue with them.
 * If user refuses to accept any compromise from the TSTPF he may then bring up the TSPTF member for impeachment.
 * Impeaching user must explain why he thinks the TSPTF member should have his user rights removed.
 * Registered users' votes must have 2/3rd supermajority to impeach a TSPTF member (Only users who have been registered for over a month—from the day the nomination is put forth—are counted).
 * TSPTF members’ votes must have a 2/3rd supermajority to impeach a TSPTF member.

To view past impeachments, see the archive.

Reasons
There are only a few recognized reasons why a TSPTF member should have his user rights removed:
 * They are not actively participating as a member of the TSPTF.
 * They have not been carrying out the responsibilities they volunteered for.
 * They have have not been fair, restrained, and/or constructive in their dealings with other editors.
 * They consistently refuse to follow the conventions and guidelines of this community.

Note: One of these reasons alone is probably not enough to impeach a TSPTF member. Consider that before demanding an impeachment.
