Reading through the various threads concerning the moderator elections it appears some patrons think the election process could be improved.

One suggestion I have is to make the results of votes cast secret until everbody has voted.

The count in mosts other elections don't even start until all votes have been cast.

Any other ideas?

It's a fair point. Not sure how it could be implemented, but we can look into it for next time.
 
* Have 2 or 3 rounds of votes with the bottom 3 or 4 dropping out each time (long winded I know). Will get rid of some of the loyalty votes, as in leadership elections. I doubt Al could put up with more than one vote though🙂

* Make them all take an IQ test

* A drinking competition


..............erm

The time between the electoral list being published and the election should be lengthened.

This would allow:

1. Candidates more time to canvas support.

2. Voters more time to read about the scandalous behaviour of the candidates.

Unfortunatley it appears that I've voted for six devious lying bullies.🙁
 
Shame you wont get in Crag. You gave it a good shot and handled yourself well. At least you took the time to state your points, instead of relying on favours to get in 🙂

One of the reasons I suggested more time between publishing the list of candidates and the election.

Since voting I have read various things which would probably have changed my vote.

I hadn't seen enough of Cragtek and others to form an opinion before voting.

True, i thought the poll came about too quick. We only had a small group who had time to put in why they would make a good mod.

As you say, in light of new information, I think some of the candidates in the top six, would struggle this time round.

Cragtek and Spav were the standout candidates IMO.

Maybe you could speak to Al and see if he might reset your vote (if possible).

It's not worthwhile.

I should simply have waited longer to cast my vote.

The whole process of elections needs much more time IMO.

More time for people to put their name forward.

More time for candidates to put their views across.

Also clearer deadlines for nominations, etc.
