Forum:CT:Tweaking the RfA rules

Following the recent RfAs of Goodwood and Solus, I noticed&mdash;then found out other people noticed too&mdash;that it was a bit difficult to get the 51% of admin votes as required by the RfA rules. The rule currently states, "Users must have at least a majority vote (51%) from all administrators in order for their nomination to pass." In theory, I agree with this 100%, as it's in addition to 51% of all users who vote on the RfA.

In practicality, however, I believe we should remove the rule requiring a set number of administrator votes in requests for adminship. Many of our admins are inactive, and while I don't support votes for the removal of user rights on the basis of a lack of activity alone, it's obvious that with more admins, the required number of votes goes up&mdash;thus it becomes more difficult to elect admins in the future. That's what this proposal is: '''a proposal to remove Rule #4 from the RfA rules.

This CT will last for a minimum of one week, until August 23, 2010. All matters of the voting policy apply. Please be civil.
