The status quo has shown many problems. The biggest being no checks and balances. And, honestly, this is not that complicated. COA meets once a month to decide thing. COTP meets 3 times a month, once for community feedback, then to use the feedback, and then to pick the next Intern.

Mini-Admins exist to merge the powers of a Content Mod and Discussion Mod, before someone should become admin.

Meanwhile, Helpers are a rank that's treated as more of a "training" rank. They are put on the COTP because, in concept, they are closer to a regular. Being on the COTP also gets them familiar with the system and can show users and higher staff if they aren't cut out for it.

The Intern exists for 2 reasons. It's to honor a normal user (sort of like an "User of the Month"), and provides a solution to ties on the COTP.

And what you say about more active admins for discussions. That is literally solved by this system.

I did cut a part about "Global Staff Meetings" that's meant to keep track of active staff and results in inactive staff being demoted if they don't attend for 2 months. It can be added back easily.

Here's a proposal; A trial period.

Over on the YS Wiki, I basically had 100% of the power and could of done whatever I want. Instead, I decided to consult to next 2 highest ranked staff, the Content Mod and Discussion Mod. We debated for over a week and came to this system.

But, they insisted on a "trial period" and I proposed the COA could vote on it's own fate after 3 months. We all agreed on this, and when the 3rd COA meeting occurred, we voted. The system stayed, having shown it works and is very flexible.

We could do the same thing here, a required COA vote would have to take place after a certain amount of time on whether or not to keep the system.
