::::I agree with what LIR says, the rule of 2nd is very nice. I've sort of used it myself when suggesting new stuff, if there's no 2nd, there's no need to keep discussing the issue.

Since nobody is responding i'm "opening" the request pages at 6:00P.M. tonight, if nobody still responds.--[[user:Monster2821| Danny (Monster2821)]]<small> ([[user talk:Monster2821|talk]])([[special:random|random page]])</small> 20:53, August 26, 2010 (UTC)
 
:I think it would be better to wait until some time next week. Two of our active admins (and our only active beaucrat) are absent at the moment and on the 28th, the vote on inactive admins ends. After that we can demote the ones who are inactive and then see if we need more.

::Since only Bureaucrats can decide who and when to promote, I think only bureaucrats can open or close the page. I think admins and members can voice their opinion as to whether requests should be accepted, but I don't think admins really have any control over it. -- [[User:LostInRiverview|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])([[Special:Random|random page]])</small> 21:49, August 26, 2010 (UTC)
:what about community consensus and nobody should be the boss.--[[user:Monster2821| Danny (Monster2821)]]<small> ([[user talk:Monster2821|talk]])([[special:random|random page]])</small> 21:56, August 26, 2010 (UTC)
::TSW is not a democracy. Consensus is good, but there's a reason certain users are given those special privileges and not others. The bureaucrats (aka a morris) can open or close the requests at their own choosing, whether or not the general community agrees. For the sake of the wiki, it would be best for them to follow community consensus, but in no way are they '''required''' to. So, in this case, a morris ''is'' the boss. -- [[User:LostInRiverview|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])([[Special:Random|random page]])</small> 22:02, August 26, 2010 (UTC)
That's why i want to become a 'crat to help the '''"boss"''' out.--[[user:Monster2821| Danny (Monster2821)]]<small> ([[user talk:Monster2821|talk]])([[special:random|random page]])</small> 22:12, August 26, 2010 (UTC)
::Well, to be blunt, you can't become a bureaucrat until she lets you become a bureaucrat. That won't happen until she decides to open the page. Nothing you or I or any other admin can do will speed up that process. You need to be patient. -- [[User:LostInRiverview|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])([[Special:Random|random page]])</small> 22:15, August 26, 2010 (UTC)
:::Also, if you can't tell, I'm trying to move this process along. A formal vote is totally unnecessary in this case, and in my own opinion, the sooner we can get a new bureaucrat, the better. Not that I want to replace a morris, but I get the feeling that she has too much stuff to have to be responsible for, and it's not fair to her to make her do all of it alone when we have others who are willing and able to do it if given the chance. So I think this page should be opened up as soon as it is wise to do so, but we can't rush into these things. And, as I stated, in the end it's her call. -- [[User:LostInRiverview|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])([[Special:Random|random page]])</small> 22:19, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

::You can't do that. The only way Wikia will give you bureaucrat rights is if the wiki and its bureaucrat are inactive, which they aren't. -- [[User:LostInRiverview|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])([[Special:Random|random page]])</small> 23:03, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

::A morris isn't inactive, she's just on vacation. Since she's active, she's the one that decides who is what. That means if she doesn't want to give you or anyone else bureaucrat priviledges, that's her decision. -- [[User:LostInRiverview|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])([[Special:Random|random page]])</small> 01:33, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

== Ratification of Requests language ==
Line 73 ⟶ 94:
I don't think a formal "two-week vote" is necessary here on whether these are accepted. Rather, if there are any real disagreements to these changes, I will withdraw or modify the proposal. Otherwise, if these changes are made, I am in full support of ratifying the language on the Requests for Bureaucratship page ASAP, seeing no real major discussion or disagreement over the other policies on that page. -- [[User:LostInRiverview|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])([[Special:Random|random page]])</small> 22:22, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

:::I'd say a week. If someone hasn't replied within a week, odds are low. -- [[User:LostInRiverview|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])([[Special:Random|random page]])</small> 01:44, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

::::Oooh... that is a good question. What if, say, a user were on vacation or absent... Yeah, a week I suppose. I doubt anyone would nominate someone who was absent, and if that were the case, they could simply nominate them again when they return. -- [[User:LostInRiverview|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])([[Special:Random|random page]])</small> 02:44, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

can i nominate [[User:Dharden]]?--[[user:Monster2821|Monster2821]] ([[user talk:Monster2821|talk]]) 22:39, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
 
:Yes, since the requests page is still open. If you do, though, be sure to tell him that you did so he knows to go to the requests page and either accept or deny the nomination. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 22:45, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
