User:Scrawland Scribblescratch/Promotion Reform

We should have a thing.

Basic Proposal
If this happens, the way people get power will change. First, they have to be nominated by a user with over 1000 edits and a track record of at least one year. The same requirements go for the person being nominated. Once a person has been nominated, they have to be supported by two other people with 1000+ edits and at least one year on the wiki. After these two people have supported the nomination, the proposal will be received by the current staff. In order to be promoted, the user must be accepted by 75% (round up to nearest whole number) of the current staff. If a user gets more than 50% of staff vote, but less than 75%, there will be a recount. If a user gets less than 75% in the recount, they will no longer be considered for a staff position.

Example
I nominate user X for the position of chat mod. Users Y and Z support my nomination. Now staff votes on it. Out of 10 staff members, only 6 voted yes, so there will be a recount. Unfortunately, only 6 vote yes in the recount, and X does not get promoted.

Other Notes
We can't have too many people in any position. The maximum number of any position that we should ever have is four. Therefore, we should never exceed 16 staff members.

Removing Someone from the Board
In order to nominate someone for impeachment, you need four people to back your nomination. Then the staff will vote on it. In order to be demoted, the user must be voted against by 75% (round up to nearest whole number) of the current staff. If a user gets more than 50% of staff vote, but less than 75%, there will be a recount. If a user gets less than 75% in the recount, they will remain in their position.
