For those of you who would have otherwise probably never have known, there was an impeachment incident that was filed by link against fhfreak an hour ago. I thought going through the whole thing, that if a compromise was not reached, the formal impeachment process would have taken at least a week, and may have even stretched toward a month, because the majority of our staff no longer shows up on a regular basis; this, however, reflects the overall state of the forum. It's pretty safe to say that if HR was a person, we'd be long retired; we're pretty much living day by day with no long term ambitions, and things overall are pretty peaceful here. However, if anything breaks out like what happened just recently, our quite formal system of solving things would be very dire and inappropriate for the current state of the forum.
This would lead me to therefore propose that HR undergo radical changes; we cut all staff except for of course Fishy, and the coadmin FHF, who from here on forward would be called a "guard" (or another name if that is what FHF would like to call herself), because FHF is not actually administrating anything here, but more or less on the lookout if anything totally screws up. No hard feelings about no longer being able to see the mod board, because the mod boards will have no purpose and therefore be terminated and its edited archives published for all to see (all edited contents going to a board created for that purpose that only the admin and guard can access). In terms of sociology, we would be transitioning from a society to a tribe. The guard solves all disputes unless the admin is available; the guard's word is final except if the admin objects. When the guard resigns, the admin picks the successor unless she exhibits no preference, in which case the leaving guard picks the successor; the guard can also be removed for whatever reason at the admin's discretion.
