Following a detailed report, we had an internal conversation in the mod forum, the outcome of which means that there's now an IK vacancy for this thread. Since the previous process did cause more commotion than expected, I'm happy to gather more consensus for the consensus god this time around. It's still the mod preference for this thread to have an IK, and there are 2 ways that we could go about that, in my opinion:
  • I continue down the previous list of ranked nominations until someone hopefully agrees;
  • To make up for a dissatisfactory IRL election, we run an IK election in this thread. Something like tweet-length ballots, and two voting rounds (preferential + run-off).
There are other options like having someone fall onto the sword, or just throwing the sword at the “IK-slayer”, but I'm not considering these options seriously at this time.

Since having this thread effectively be a C-SPAM one seems to be off the table, why not someone like "V. Illych L."; I disagree with pretty much every post they make, but they're very active, and hostile to neither thread or D&D culture?

No idea why Cardiac is being replaced but if it’s because someone got upset that he made one gloating post after being subjected to endless trolling (and never replying in kind, instead just posting level headed bad takes) in this thread for years then lmao what a bitch move.

anatomi
Jan 31, 2015

This requires far-reaching reforms. Perhaps Timbro can weigh in on the issue?

Edit: ^ I found his gloating to be in very poor taste but I don't see why he'd be removed as IK for it. Though to be fair I don't know what an IK is or does.

Also, consistently posting bad takes, misconstruing facts and being generally obtuse feels more like trolling than level-headedness, but that's just my opinion.

I mean I think having your two only actions as IK thus far be two probations aimed at yourself to be pretty compelling evidence that you don’t care much about the role.

I realize that being a general fuddy-duddy is part of the Scandinavian ethos, but IKs and mods probing themselves is a pretty common occurrence. And it usually goes over better than joke-probing other users :banjo:

There should probably be a minimum quota for the next Ik, to ensure they're not slacking off. Hand out 12 or more hours of probie per week, or get replaced by someone more diligent.

Nope, she wasn’t offered the role since she has plenty on her plate already, and the plan definitely is to find someone else.

Not really, you can be a great IK with 0 probations. The greatest even, perhaps. In the case of Cardiac, both self-probations were weak content, but the load-bearing part of the decision came on the account of the report making a clearly articulated case for their posts in recent weeks having a pattern that would’ve not reconciled to the D&D rules well, with receipts and all. No individual instances worth retroactive punishment, but the bar IKs are held to is distinctly above the one they’re allowed to hold other posters to.

You can't just vote an IK, this is Scandinavia thread! The new IK or IQ must claim to be heir to Cardiac, that's the only way.
