Intro
It’s that time again; ORE Staff Elections!
This time, we’re looking to bring on a few more moderators to raise the total number of staff members. We’re looking primarily to improve staff activity, but also for any skills potential candidates might bring to the team. As always, this is a democratic process, so make sure to keep yourself and others aware of the process. In the next section, the phases of ORE’s Staff Elections is covered in depth.
Phases
Phase One - Nominations [2 Weeks]
August 1st at 3pm ET to August 15th at 3pm ET
Over the next 2 weeks, all ORE members are free to nominate any ONE Builder/Engineer for Moderator. Provide a brief explanation (2 to 5 sentences) on why you believe they should be nominated. Self-Nominations are permitted. Nominations should be posted as replies to this announcement.
Any duplicate or joke nominations will be removed.
Phase Two - Audits [3 Days]
August 15th at 3pm ET to August 18th at 3pm ET
Staff review the nominees one by one, voting on each. If any candidates have a history of bad behavior on the server or has shown (based on prior behavior) that they would not be fit for moderator, then that nomination can be vetoed by staff with a majority vote. Note that a discord account is a requirement for being a staff member as our staff chat is very important to have direct access to.
Phase Three - Campaigning [2 Weeks]
August 18th at 3pm ET to September 1st at 3pm ET
The list of accepted candidates is released. Each candidate will respond saying they do/don’t accept their nomination. Not responding during the 2 weeks qualifies as not accepting the nomination.
In the discord server, a candidate channel is created. Candidates have the option to create a discourse post arguing why they are a good pick for moderator. Links to these posts will be put in the candidate channel. Discussion on the elections will have a place in a thread within the candidate channel.
Phase Four - Voting [2 Weeks]
September 1st at 3pm ET to September 15th at 3pm ET
Over two weeks, all Builders, Engineers, and Staff will be able to vote who they want to become Moderator. Candidates can be ranked from top to bottom or left off the ballot entirely. The voting system ORE Staff Elections use is known as STV.
During the process of Moderator Elections, Staff will also perform their own Admin Elections and vote on the Moderators to promote to Admin. This likely won’t happen right at the same time due to technical limitations, but will be around the same time.
Phase Five - Results [N/A]
Once voting concludes, there will be a brief pause while the results are calculated and the announcement post prepared. When the results are posted, the new moderators will be reached out to and given staff orientation.
