So 90% of the community suddenly changed their opinion because you said so? So the 90% that you speak of haven't changed their opinion because you said so? I'm not going to play onus with you so I'll be the one to make the poll: totalfreedom.boards.net/thread/63778/seths-approval

Great idea. I fully support your decision.

I guess a big chunk of the community changed their opinion because I said so.

If any majority of people approve of Seth, then that means Seth is still representing the majority of the electorate. So again, who would be overthrowing Seth or whatever you have in your fantasies?

I'm going to assume the role of Switzerland here and try my damnedest to stay neutral, but can anyone give me a good estimate on how long the community had to decide on an owner? I'm just curious if "we" had like a week or a month to pick one and if he was chosen because he was the best candidate, or if "we" were just desperate for a community leader.
I use we in quotes because I was reinstated after his approval, so it refers to the community as a whole, not just a few persons.

Probably Tom Brady. That dude wins fucking everything.

I use we in quotes because I was reinstated after his approval, so it refers to the community as a whole, not just a few persons. A few people ran, and Seth had 77% of seniors vote for him over the others. Then in the final election which was for all admins, 74% of the admins voted for him over the other candidate. In the poll I posted which was public to all, about 90% wanted him to become the owner. If Seth wasn't the clear favorite, then I don't know who was.

In an attempt to play devils advocate (or neutral), you have a knack for coming off as uninformed. Some simple searching would show you all of this information. There was an initial poll which had the goal of granting seth to owner. Almost everyone agreed. But that was unofficial, which the executives didn't like very much. After some time where the executives wanted to make an official process (during which people were very much so wanting seth to just be given owner immediately), Seth was voted in a landslide to become owner, multiple times in fact. Overall, I'd say the whole thing offered people over a month to decide who they want.

When did I ever say I was in favour of removing Seth? I was just pointing out that you're 90% stat was not the case, which is clearly shown by the polls and the general community presence.

Overall, I'd say the whole thing offered people over a month to decide who they want. I'm not sure what you consider simple, but digging through about 10 threads named essentially the same thing, by the same person, doesn't exactly peg on my simple meter. While I do play devil's advocate often, here I was trying to pose the question in a way to show that I'm not trying to be an ass, but wanting information, or a specific place to look for said information. I prefer to sound "uninformed" as you say rather than spouting off incorrect information as fact. But I digress. From what I found, there was about a 3 day period between "stage 3" and Seth being chosen as the owner, 3 more days between "stage 2" and "stage 3" and 4 days between the start of our search and the beginning of "stage 1." I see a 2 day gap between the community wanting someone to be an owner, and closing the thread for new applicants. So from what I can gather, we went from not having an owner, to begging on our knees for someone to step up and we gave 3 people a shot. We picked our owner in a little over a week from what I read. Your answer of over a month, versus the 10 days i found was exactly why I asked instead of immediately getting outraged over the incomplete information I found.

If 15 more people vote (i.e. the ownership selection, especially since this poll is not just for admins) then I'll agree with the majority. The poll as it stands doesn't have as many votes to be legible by itself, although I agree there has been a significant decrement in approval.
