Hi all,
This is just to let people know that Aranda56 has submitted their name
to be granted the rollback privilege on the requests for rollback
privileges[1] page (currently a proposed policy).
What would happen in the event that the nomination is successful? There
is also the possibility that the nomination will be unsuccessful, for
three reasons:
- People do not believe putting people through a proposed policy is a
good idea;
- That they think the candidate is unsuitable for rollback;
- They do not believe the proposed policy is a good idea and they are
proxy voting on the issue of Aranda56's candidacy as a way to show their
opposition to the policy.
In the third case, I believe it would be best to leave the proposed
policy page open in case community consensus later forms to make this
proposed policy into practice. However, the first and second
possibilities leave us with a quandry as it would be difficult to know
whether people believe the policy should be in place or not.
What do people suggest in the way of resolving the potential scenarios
from this?
How about deprecating nominations for things that are
"proposed" until
they have some kind of consensus? Especially things like this, where
the code itself is currently under development?
I mean, I don't see how this nomination is going to lead to anything
but bad feelings. It should be made very clear that this is voting for
illusory powers- almost a popularity contest!
