I know we voted a while back that we hated the staff reboot and more is good. I also had the same opinion. But to me, it's been getting to a point where there is really too many. Now I don't really feel like this should apply to rollbacks because again all they get is a rollback button which is useful to anyone trusted on the wiki. However, forum mods and chat mods have had a huge increase.

What's the point of me moderating chat if half the people in it are moderators anyways? And if one of those moderators broke the rules I can't even do anything thus rendering my job pointless.

What's the point of me moderating the forums if there's so many forum mods that I hardly even get the chance to do what I applied for. By the time I get to something, it's already been addressed and dealt with.

I get it. Quick is good. But think about it this way. Say this wiki was a job. I'll use the example of building a house. Now let's say the staff are the people doing the job. Sure we can obviously say that more people will get the house built quicker and that is true, but that also means that many people can't reach their full potential since all the things that need to be done already have enough people on them. These people are sitting around doing nothing.

And what happens when we have people doing nothing? Dead weight, and that is never needed.

So I propose that we start a vote. Should we cap any staff above rollback where they are. I don't feel we need another staff reboot. Just that we are fine as it is.

Supporting the vote means that if passed, no more staff will be assigned to the following ranks except when someone steps down/is demoted. This way, no more people will be getting the capped ranks until spots become vacant.

We could still use applications and have a waiting list for any passed votes. Or we could do it so that people may only apply when a staff position becomes available (Such that people will become notified.)

To sum this up, staff here have a job and if we can't fulfill our jobs due to the high number of people assigned to it we become dead weight which means that we are basically doing nothing. People complain enough that rollbacks don't use their power enough. This is why. It needs to end. We are now given the chance to end it. We can have a staff team that is small enough to be efficient, but large enough to still allow everyone to work at their best. Does this sound like something you want to see happen? It's all up to you. Vote below.
