Forums: Index War Room Possible development of a "noticeboard"?

hi

So, after a bit of a discussion with User:Callofduty4, I'd like to bring attention to the possible creation of a system on how to handle issues with the wiki's current administrators and/or Special:Chat moderators (or to bring up a topic on if a user should be made a moderator) in a way that allows the majority of the community to reach an agreement on any possible changes.

The page could operate as a way for any user to bring up any concerns with any adminstrators or moderators that they feel should be brought to public attention, and so the community can reach an agreement peacefully on how to handle any concerns. It would, for the most part, function as a miniature War Room, and would encourage anybody to voice their opinion/concerns on any issues.

The reason I'm bringing this up here is because the current "system" means that not everybody gets a say in who becomes a moderator on Special:Chat and has no way to bring up any issues in public without it turning into some sort of awkward situation. There's also really no place to bring up concerns with adminstrators outside of the War Room (which should only be used for major situations - such as a possible desysoping/decrating) that can be dealt with by the community (or just administrators and/or bureaucrats if need be).

To put it short: This page would function to bring up somewhat minor issues with moderators/administrators/bureaucrats so that they can be dealt with over a variously short period of time. I'm open to suggestions on what you guys think we should do as well, so feel free to say whatever you think would help. -- <choose><option>azuris_</option><option>22px-1888721.png Azuristalk</option> 22:17, June 7, 2012 (UTC)


It would be sort of name-and-shame but since it will hardly be used anyway, that's not much of an issue. I guess it would be a good place to gather thoughts and/or complaints.  FANMADE_Animated_Derpy_Hooves_desktop_ponies_sprite.gif Sig1.png Sig2.png  22:26, June 7, 2012 (UTC)

Per CoD4, seems like a good idea. Madnessfan34537 http://i.imgur.com/lL5xjBH.png 22:35, June 7, 2012 (UTC)

Whilst I feel a way of bringing up concerns about mods, admins and crats could be a great assest, I feel putting it in the public may be unfair on both the user being raised, and the user having to write it. Often minor concerns can easily be dealt with behind the scenes, I'd dislike having to make such a public spectacle over possibly a minor problem. There was an isue I had recently, to which the only users I raised it to were Kat and Cod4 (assuming he got my PM) as I didn't want to spark a full on argument, which I've seen happen before.
