Club Penguin Wiki:Archive/Policy Making Council Proposal

This vote or discussion has been closed. Do not make any changes to it.

Lately, our policies are kind of falling behind and are not really even being enforced (Such as the signature policy, voting policy, etc.), and some policies are completely obsolete but are still in place (such as the CPW and CPFW relations treaty). The reason policies are not being enforced well is mainly because our policies are all outdated policies which meet 2009 standards (when the majority of them were created).

I think we need to form a "Policy Making Council" which would hold discussions and review and revise all current policies every so often, and make new ones if needed. While if someone wants a new policy with our current system, they usually hold a general vote, problem is though, nobody is proposing new ones or proposing changes. If we had set meeting to do so, then we would.

As for membership to the council, It would work like this:

  • Every so often we select 5 or more non-admins to the council. Their membership is temporary until the next selection of members.
  • Administrators are permanent members as long as they stay an administrator. When they are demoted, they are removed from the council.
  • B-Crats are also permanent in the same way admins are, however they have the ability to veto new proposals. If more than half of the b-crats vote no, then the proposal is automatically failed. So even if every other member that is not a b-crat votes yes, but more than half of the b-crats vote no, the proposal will still fail. Crats are granted this ability since they have been here for 2+ years and have the most experience, so they know what they are doing and what is best for the wiki.

  1. Too complicated for a simple task where the admins just need to discuss it and get it over with. If we spend most of our time discussing and suggesting new policies, we're not doing a very good job. There's no need for some council. --Tigernose Talk • Contribs 18:38, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

What's the "CPW and CPFW relations treaty"? --PenblooeR © 2011 23:26, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

It is, as I said, an obsolete outdated bill passed in 2009 sometime. Its still officially displayed but has no purpose. --Seahorseruler (Talk Page) (Contribs) 23:33, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
  • I like this. Looks more like a system of government. --LordMaster96 23:40, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Might as well change the rules to confirm with today's standards. --Skater Blue Cat 23:51, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

I think that 2 of the 3 bureaucrats should vote "no" for a proposal to fail. Example: if 2 b-crats vote yes for something, but HP votes no, it automatically fails no matter what the community, admins or other b-crats think. Remember that people don't agree in everything. Everyone has different opinions. --PenblooeR © 2011 23:54, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Not sure about this. I will vote later. --Chill57181 Talk to me Master of the pencil Come to my party! 13:09, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

  • Instead of a "policy-maintenance council", couldn't we have a council for the wiki in general? Not only for policies, but like other things like organizing events. --LordMaster96 16:52, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
Really good idea. NickelbackFan37 Check out that freeze frame! What month is that, kablamuary? 17:14, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
Agree ^^ --PenblooeR © 2011 21:23, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
