Elections need to be anonymous. Who is going to publicly oppose someone who might become admin and then go on to hold a grudge against those who opposed him or her? The voting needs to take place anonymously like in every election system out there. But the members allowed to vote must still have a certain number of edits to curb the use of sockpuppets.

There are several admins which I don't think are fit for the position, and part of the reason is because the process to appoint new admins is completely broken. We need fewer, but better admins. Admins who act in the best interest of the community, and set aside personal biases to act impartially. The behavior some of the admins display makes me think they lack the maturity to do so. I agree highly with all of this. You know, voting for new staff members used to be a staff only thing, then we moved it to the forums and it became more chaotic, and people who were totally new to the wiki would also vote, which isn't really fair. We added that 25 edits to vote rule, but it really isn't enough. True, but isn't that on MY blog?
