Subject: Community elected role?

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Voting on Bunie.net can never be official. It is almost impossible to stop ALTs, some people go through great lengths to make sure people think their ALTS are real people.

If it was done a different way possibly, but the voting system can never be completely glitch free.

Very good point.

But if there were a group with "established and trusted members of the community who have demonstrated consistent helpfulness and positive contributions" a poll/vote in such a group (especially if large enough and invite only) would be far less likely to be exploited or manipulated as a poll on the mains.


Let's be honest with ourselves; that'd just turn into a system in which users would complain that "Mythics get what they want." Not saying that it would be all Mythic members in there, but I believe that is how it would be perceived. Plus, you would have to establish some sort of tangible criteria for the average member to see each group member's merit in being a part of the voting system.

As I said I think its better if ninjas/web development where to choose the people that could vote


That at least standardizes it some, but I think it turns a not-bad idea into a concept that is taking away the merit of a community-run system. Maybe if periodically the web team/moderators selected candidates for a vote in an official thread. Every week or month, 8 users are selected based on recent activity and contribution, and the community votes on who they would like to represent the community. The two or three with the most votes would join (as recon suggested) an invite-only group that contains and is run by the "elected" community members.

It would be up to this elected team to reach out to both the community and web team/moderators for events and ideas, endorse community involvement opportunities, and continuously prove to the community through participation and acts of transparency.

recap/tl;dr: moderators and web team select candidates for periodic voting; this allows a standard of positive behavior to be set for who can be considered. Community votes on new/additional representatives to join the old; this makes sure that it is the community, not the web team, that determines who shares their voice.

Thoughts?

Almost a 'best of the best' type group, one where the Average Joe isn't welcome.....hmmm


Aren't we all just an average joe?.. It could be anyone that Bungie see's fit for the role and they would use their own guidness for picking people.. if it was even to happen,

I wouldn't look at it that way. More along the lines of "a group of Joes who have demonstrated their ongoing excellence".

I would imagine (and it's my imagination, so of course it seems perfect) that such a group should/would/could always be on the lookout of cliquishness, snobbishness, holier-than-thou examples within their ranks and purge themselves of such members when it is spotted. Especially if the members of that group wanted to maintain any level of value or trust from our hosts.

I agree with promee, the community isn't compacted or tight-knit enough. It's not so much a Bungie Appreciation Club as it is a group of people who appreciate Bungie.

Oh I was just hinting at YANW for the sake of hinting at YANW. We would be perfect though :P

I assume you're talking about a group not unlike the one squirrel dude set up after his Hall of Fame thread in The Flood a few years back. Didn't exactly work out but the general idea was to have generally trustworthy members annually nominate members for the thread.

Mythical Group

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

Under the current system, I can atleast pretend there is no elitism in mod selection, so I motion against this.

Crazzysnipe, how are ya?

I'm glad you can see my point, but I would like to hear your thoughts on my rebuttle idea, at the top of this page.

Could always create a group now with a solid group of members and see if it carries onto bungie.next? How would members be selected through, what would be the thought process and who would create the group?

I also agree with prometheus,

the idea would have to be presented to Achronos and see what his opinion of the idea is and wether he thinks it could develop and function - but without any direct line to talk to Achronos how would we contact him with meaning knowing it will it get read?

If Achy doesn't like the idea then he'll ignore the PM.. it's what normally happens I think.

Being Mythic has nothing to do with membership of YANW. Completely different entities
