Should we have new host elections? [View all]

This discussion thread was locked by laconicsax (a host of the Atheists & Agnostics group).

When DU3 started, EvolveOrConvolve, laconicsax, and darkstar3 were elected as hosts by this group. Forum hosts can only serve for 90 days but there is no similar provision for group hosts.

To that end, the hosts of this group are leaving it up to you, the membership of the Atheists & Agnostics group whether our group hosts should have limited terms.

Let's now vote on the following:

Should the Atheists & Agnostics group hosting positions be limited to terms of three months?

Should hosts be eligible for serving consecutive terms?


The vote will conclude one week from today. This thread will remain pinned during that time. When the vote concludes, the results will be posted, this thread will be unpinned and locked.

If the vote is to limit hosts to three-month terms, the process of nominating and voting for new hosts will begin with a series of new pinned threads.

If the vote is to not limit hosts to three-month terms, the current hosts will remain in their positions until such time as they choose to retire.

Thank you,
laconicsax (a host of the Atheists & Agnostics group)

You handled the disrupters as they should have been handled... rexcat Feb 2012 #7
I don't think there's a set time limit in the groups EvolveOrConvolve Feb 2012 #8
If that is the case how about every 6 months and look at the issue again at the six month mark... rexcat Feb 2012 #10
LOL, if there's anyone who won't stab me in the back EvolveOrConvolve Feb 2012 #11

No change is necessary IMO. Curmudgeoness Feb 2012 #4
We feel that it's important to let the group have a say in who runs the show. laconicsax Feb 2012 #5
We appreciate your asking. Thanks. nt Curmudgeoness Feb 2012 #6
No need for term limits. Atheists are natural cooperators and work well with others. dimbear Feb 2012 #9
