This place is too divided up into cliques, and quite honestly, there is not a single user on this board that I truly feel would reflect even a fifth of what this board represents.

Just keep CE as it is.

The only clique on this board is Fam & not Fam.

The rest of the stuff are just varied opinions.

Not really, there are many different groups of people on this board, and I do not think a board leader is necessary, and quite frankly, provide the opposite results of what is intended.

Honestly, I think it's going to depend on what the "board leaders" can actually do...

Just the whole idea alone that they will be used as the voice of CE makes me think they will be counter-productive.

I'm open to the idea, it might work out. I definitely understand your hesitation though.

It could work, but from the sounds of it, we get to have a large say in who this person is, and that already means it is doomed.

That is my biggest problem with this. Too many cliques.

The cliques of users on CE have almost no relevance to what I think the role of the "board leader" entails.

Mainly it seems like a way for larger boards to deal with issues that are not apparent to a moderator just reading a queue.

You don't see how the cliques of CE can conflict with what the board leader should be doing?!?

It should be 3-4 people. Those that can be sensible and objective. Darkman is a great example.


Darkman might just be the best choice for board leader.

I would just like to point out that Allen did say:

SBAllen posted...
Note that these are just ideas and none of them are guaranteed to happen in this particular form or even at all.

He's just trying to gauge any level of interest for the things proposed. Between community feedback and feedback from the moderation team in our own discussions (of which there were a lot), Allen will make the call he generally feels will be the appropriate call for moving the community forward.

In short, this may not happen anyway.

I understand that, which is why I was just giving my input on the matter. I appreciate the consideration of us, but I do not feel like a board leader is the best approach to the matter.

Out of all the suggestions in Allen's post this is the one I don't agree with at all.

This is actually a thing? Yeah, that's an awful idea.

Edit:
But if I had to choose, it would be either Darkman or Pinky. I think they're the two most reasonable and all around consistently well liked posters.

I agree with darkman, but pinky is too far left to stay neutral IMO.

I will say pinky at least will listen to an argument rather than dismiss it immediately.

In the original post, you seem to be saying that a board leader wouldn't represent all of the cliques, and I'm saying they shouldn't represent any of them.

I guess I could see how my OP states that. I was trying to say we are too divided up into cliques, and because of that, we wouldn't have someone who represents us a board. The cliques would allow personal grudges to conflict with what they should be doing.
