Shrek for Room Owner

[darkyen]

I'd like to self-nominate myself. I know I had been stupid in past and I have since then matured a lot and am usually active in the JS Room. I believe I should be a room owner again.

[michaelrwiley]

I'm kind of an outside observer, but this Vap0r guy is doing good things for the community, maybe look into him for Room Owner?

EDIT: you guys realize that Emoji's hurt right? Who ever this Vap0r guy is he might be crying right now

[ssube]

I was under the impression Shrek stopped being RO just due to inactivity. Was there something I missed?

[Trasiva]

I'd be okay with Shrek as an RO again. I think perhaps a probationary period of say...one month would suffice. Provided that he remains active.

[ndugger]

Stop trying to take advantage of my removal, you bully 😢

[darkyen]

I am active, I just don't talk much 😄, I keep an eye on the chat though.

[luggage66]

I have no objection but his active period, according to SO, is inline with most of us and we have that time period pretty well covered. That may not be accurate if the other time zones just aren't well represented. Is this a vote or a conversation?

[darkyen]

I do work in US Timezones, yes. But I thought there wasn't a top-limit on ROs?

[ssube]

There isn't a strict limit, but we don't want all ROs. It's never good for chat rooms and makes getting a majority vote difficult.

[kendfrey]

There doesn't seem to be much support for this. No action needed.

[benjamingr]

@kendfrey by our rules - he won:

Changes to room ownership shall be proposed via an issue on this repository. RO proposals will have 72 hours for voting, after which the proposal will be acted on if 50% or more of standing votes are in favour.

However, it wasn't pinned. Would you be fine with voting on this after pinning in the room for 3 days @kendfrey ?

hi

[luggage66]

I thought votes were started when one of us nominated, not when someone nominates themselves, we talk about maybe starting a vote for a while, then count the votes later when we didn't even know it was a vote.

To quote myself: Is this a vote or a conversation?

[luggage66]

In other words, we have enough thumbs up to consider it a nomination, then we should start an actual vote.

[benjamingr]

@luggage66 when we had room meetings to discuss this a long while ago we decided to let anyone nominate themselves. That policy isn't set in stone and we can vote on it.

In case whoever nominated the RO is an issue - I would like to nominate @darkyen for room owner so he has someone "on the inside" as a nominator.

[xbenjii]

Definitely more active now, what was the reason for dropping RO before?

[Trasiva]

He wasn't around. Busy with other stuff at the time.

[xbenjii]

Also echoing what @ssube said, how many is too many?

[luggage66]

According to #14 there is no hard limit. Wether your vote based on that is up to you, of course.

[RUJodan]

+1 vote

[monners]

Oh, Darkyen! +1 for sure.

[wibily]

+1

[loktar00]

+1 because Darkyen is my homie.

[ssube]

+1 aye

I thought we had already voted, so this is all very surprising. 😲

[Canop]

+1

[xbenjii]

Added as RO, it's pretty clear what the outcome is. I know the procedure is 72 hours but this has been open a while and nobody has any problems.

Also can someone close this, because I don't have permission to :)

[benjamingr]

@Zirak ^ can you please add Ben to the org?

[Zirak]

@benjamingr Doooooooooooooone!
