Admin Voting Policy

The Command board is expected to be able to agree on a course of action without a vote for the most part. An informal "show of hands" is not regarded as a full admin vote. Admins are expected to use common sense as a full admin vote can be a lengthy process.

As admins on this network, you are expected to participate in its running. If you are due to be away from the network temporarily (holiday/vacation/work trip etc.) then you must appoint an acting admin. This is usually your co-admin, but may be any individual who is not already serving as a member of staff on another server.

Neglecting to vote is a serious failing for you as an admin. Servers that persist in not voting WILL FACE A DELINK NO MATTER HOW MANY USERS THEY HAVE ON THEM OR WHO RUNS THEM. If you are not willing to help run the network, you do not belong here as an admin. Failure to vote may, at the discretion of the Command Board, lead to temporary loss of voting privilege.

Most votes and their discussions are to be carried out on the KDFSnet Public List, so that users are aware of what is going on. The vote may be held in private if the proponent so desires, but there should be good reason. If the vote is held in private, the proponent must still summarise the result to the public list after the vote is complete.
