Or "fixed" and you do NOT want that on a board. Ain't no member with a thousand posts going to come in and tell me he is going to be my leader.What is the criteria in selecting these "ambassadors"?
Is there an educational requirement;
Min Max Age;
Life experience;
Political leaning;
Sense of humor;
gender;
Height;
Weight;
Personal hygiene.
I was thinking simple popularity would do. It's how we elect presidents. Ranked voting is a step up from what happens in most democratically elected countries in my view. The difference here is that mods would have veto power over anyone they felt they wouldn't be able to work with. The current system works, even if imperfectly, which is why I think it makes sense for that system to have veto power.
What part of this is NOT an elected board do you not understand? CK runs and owns this board and has the final say.
If anything it is more like a benevolent kingdom. YOU want power? Fine YOU EARN it like ANY other member here.
I know it's not an elected board. And even my idea wouldn't make it that way. CK would still be king, the mods would still be his lieutenants. There'd just be an extra layer lower down for a few elected officials. Getting elected could be said to be something that is earned.
In case you missed it we HAVE people here with higher post counts and higher rankings then yourself. Some of them have been on the net for a decade or more.
Others have been on this site since CK bought it or even before. You simply cannot promise the members leadership when YOU have never been in the trenches.
Look at the level of comments the levels of ratings and the membership levels here. There are at the very least 1,000 members, maybe as high as 10,000 that carry more weight, more ability and understanding of the board than you do.
I vote NO and would fight your effort tooth and nail.
