FirstStooge

FirstStooge has been one of the most active TSPTF members in recent months, cleaning up vandalism, helping new users, taking care of maintenance tasks. And simply put, he could do these things a lot more effectively if he had admin rights. It's actually a bit odd to see someone with his long years, dedication and standing in the community have to get help from higher-ups to do things like issue blocks or delete pages. He brings an earnestness and positivity that's good for all of us, but especially the new users who he interacts with. What's more, it's getting close to 4 years since we last promoted anyone to the rank of Lieutenant; with the wiki growing and becoming more active, this is an appropriate time to add someone else to serve and lead. FirstStooge is clearly that someone. Benkarnell (talk) 14:13, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

  • Objectors
    • The Supporter faction was caught participating in cheating/voter suppression. FirstStooge did not speak out against these abuses, and instead was complacent in them so far as to benefit from them. I believe that is an indicator of poor character and unbefitting of an admin, so I will continue to vote no. T0oxi22 (talk) 00:24, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

  • Discussion
    • Thank you very much, Ben. I humbly accepted my nomination to be a Lieutenant not for anything vain but simply for a responsibility to serve other users, to guide newly-joined ones and to work together with other members of the TSTPF. I will carry my duties seriously and will learn to put forward more a betterment to this wiki accordingly. I will fulfill my newly-founded duty as this wiki's intermittent caretaker and housekeeper in the absence of other admins and mods. --- FirstStooge (talk) 15:45, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
    • The response was slow, but I think there's enough to show consensus, and anyway we need the help. I've made the promotion. I'll leave the discussion here a little while longer before I archive it, in case anyone else has something to say. (edit) Undid the promotion while we try to get more votes. Benkarnell (talk) 01:33, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
    • I would like to point out that the wiki takes extreme precedence over the discord server, as there are many users who are on the wiki (you know, the actual thing the server and userbase exist for) and not on discord. Furthermore, the user who claims it is important is not even on the server. A rude and meaningless vote cast for no reason than to be contrarian. Shame on you.

    • This election will end at 14:13 UTC on 2 January 2021. Scrawland Scribblescratch 03:35, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

Nathan1123

Nathan is one of the most active users on the wiki, far more than most other admins. He is a major part of the community and is responsible for running almost all map games and major projects, which are the majority of the wiki's activity. He's very active on discord and is does the lion share of the admin work on there. I think he deserves to be a LT and would make a great fit. He's been nominated before and he pretty much only lost on a technicality. T0oxi22 (talk) 04:12, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

  • Objectors
    • Nominated him for Lt before, have since been shown he is not up to the challenge of dealing with problematic users. Curmudgeonly yours - Crim 07:52, 27 December 2020 (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, with support of at least one TSTPF member.
  • Impeaching user must explain why he thinks the TSPTF member should have his user rights removed.
  • Registered users' votes must have two-third super majority 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 two-third super majority 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.

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