Forum:CUSWFN



When I first took the reins at CUSWFN, the administrators, namely Squishy Vic and Brandon Rhea, endorsed CUSWFN, making it official. Despite the name being an oxymoron, the public decided not to change it to OSWFN, but, as far as I know, it's still official. I could go on and give a noble speech about how 'it's close to my heart' etc. etc. but I wouldm't be believing it. I like CUSWFN; I think that it's a great idea Tader conceived, and that it's a great community thing. However, Tader was unable to keep it going past a few issues, and it is a tremendous amount of work. And preservation efforts should be made. What I'm proposing, is that the head of CUSWFN be made an official position, very like the High Priests, although it would be different areas of work. The community could vote upon who they want as Head, and the User may accept or reject the nomination, as with an RFA. It is an official newsletter, so I believe it should be made official. This would also keep CUSWFN going. When Tader left for the first time, CUSWFN collapsed. Second time? Ditto. I really have no inclination to let that happen and, yes, there will come a time, in the far future I hope, when I hang up my boots. What will happen to CUSWFN then? Most likely, if past evidence is to be believed, it will collapse. Do I want this? No. So having an official head would be better, as it would mean that the user voted as a head would carry it on, meaning it lasted. In the case of nobody wanting to do it, there would be an already appointed 'Steward', someone who would be willing to take on the position until someone else claimed it. It would also mean that no random user, with no real idea of SWFanon workings, could take the reins, and the community would have more of a say in CUSWFN. After all, isn't that what it's all about? Another reason would be that new heads bring new things to CUSWFN. When I took over, I brought in both the crossword and the Media being more SWFanon based. A new head every now and again would mean fresh ideas, and fresh articles, meaning CUSWFN wouldn't get stale. It would also mean that, should someone be an appalling head, they could be removed from office relatively soon. What I propose is that elections are held every three months, and the elections would be similar to RFA's. The users could either accept or reject a nomination and, in the event of their being no candidates, the Steward would carry it on, until someone claimed it. The former head of CUSWFN would have the choice to submit a RFH (Request for Headship), or to retire. My page iChat What I've done 18:43, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) As current head, I should remain neutral, as it would be unfair for me to vote, as I'm the current head. I lean in the supporting direction though. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] My page iChat What I've done 18:43, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
