Requests for Comment/Amendment of Stewards policy and Proposing yearly steward elections

The first stewards have been fairly active since Miraheze's founding, and there are not enough stewards to block disruptive users. NDKilla is a steward, and he is fairly inactive. We need to change the voting policies on Requests for stewardship or hold a yearly steward election, just like the Wikimedia Foundation, so that users such as CnocBride or MacFan4000 can be a steward. User:Revi is a steward on the Wikimedia Foundation, and he is currently not a steward. So we need to modify the Stewards policy so it could be more fair.

Proposal 1
The rules for the steward policies and the elections policy remain the same as they are.

Support

 * 1)  What is better than freedom to elect whenever? John (talk) 10:35, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Proposal 2
A yearly steward election will be held.

Oppose

 * 1)  Why? We can't garner the numbers on a continuous basis, why would a "nominate yourself during this one week of the year" make any difference? John (talk) 10:35, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
 * The Wikimedia Foundation is always having steward elections and because that even the most trusted users on Miraheze cannot gain steward rights and the elections happen once a year, while each year will elect one or two new stewards.

 * How will forcing yearly elections mean more stewards are elected? Anyone can nominate themselves now and when appropriate. Forcing it into a week seems more damaging as it’ll lead to more rushed and ill considered requests. We have few good candidates, setting a week aside won’t improve quality at all.John (talk) 11:51, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Proposal 1
The rules for the appointment remain the same as they are.

Support

 * 1)  These are highly powerful and dangerous tools. Lowering requirements to fill a gap that doesn't cause any issues isn't appropriate. John (talk) 10:35, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Proposal 2
Voters who elect a steward must be autoconfirmed.

Comments

 * 1)  Autoconfirmed where? John (talk) 10:35, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
 * on Meta. LegoMaster (talk Account information: [ block log] – contribs – logs – [ abuse log] – CentralAuth ) 10:55, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Which excludes a lot of the global community. John (talk) 11:48, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Proposal 3
Voters who elect a steward must be logged in.

Support

 * 1)  though this is already the policy. John (talk) 10:35, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Proposal 1
The rules for an election to be successful remain the same as they are.

Support

 * 1)  These are highly powerful and dangerous tools. Lowering requirements to fill a gap that doesn't cause any issues isn't appropriate. John (talk) 10:35, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Proposal 2
Stewards will be elected by a community vote where:
 * at least 10 users share their view;
 * there is a support ratio of at least 80%.

Oppose

 * 1)  10 votes isn't enough to consider a wide community view. John (talk) 10:35, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Proposal 3
Stewards will be elected by a community vote where:
 * at least 10 users share their view;
 * there is a support ratio of at least 70%.

Oppose

 * 1)  10 votes isn't enough to consider a wide community view. John (talk) 10:35, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Proposal 4
Stewards will be elected by a community vote where:
 * at least 20 users share their view;
 * there is a support ratio of at least 70%.

Oppose

 * 1)  Not much difference when considering it's 25 now, but the 70% ratio is too low. John (talk) 10:35, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Proposal 1
Stewards do not serve a limited term. Once granted the rights, they remain permanent until revoked or removed by inactivity or a vote.

Proposal 2
Stewards serve a term of 1 year. If a steward does not achieve a successful confirmation after one year, the rights will be removed.

Proposal 3
Stewards serve a term of 2 years. If a steward does not achieved a successful confirmation after two years, the rights will be removed.
