To the greatest community I have ever had the pleasure of participating in,
Owing to a recent staff vote, Helios will soon be given control of the main administrative account, and the authority of the Head of Administration. My own activity on this site will either dwindle or spring up.
I'd like to take a moment to thank you all for being part of this community, and making LMB Eternal fun and interesting for everyone. Words cannot describe how much fun it's been looking after you all as your Head Administrator.
Now, the official terms and conditions for Helios:
To the degree he is able, he must ensure that the site must never be unusable unless no user has accessed the site for 6 months. He must also ensure, as well as he is able, that the content on this site is always able to be viewed, regardless of inactivity. He must never punish a user for anything that happened before I made this post (with the exception of punishments for repeated actions, including at least one action made after this post). Finally, he must always put the community -- you, the users -- first in decision-making for LMBE.

I am concerned at the complete ignorance the staff have placed upon democracy and the fact that Shamrock was elected by the users and Helios was elected by a select few.

Also, I had better not get banned.
Helios, please post your agreement here.
Now I can't say that I have the backing of the head admin when I say things.
Although I'm sure that Helios will do a great job, and hopefully I won't see really any changes in this site's management, I am sorry to see you go. Now I'll just have to be Helios' secret alter-ego.

That is what we call a dictatorship.
And I guarantee that this will be rejected.
i wasn't around when shamrock was elected, and i wasn't fully aware that a different process occurred in this case. it's... concerning, though i fully trust that helios can manage this site well.

I'm am concerned as well, but I think that is because we have grown used to the feeling that we have sort of a control over the management here, but if you think back to the old LMBs, the users never had any choice about any of the mods being elected as SMC, or anything else. So if Shamrock decided to step down, or the Eternal Staff voted to have Helios lead them, I don't think that we should be too concerned unless management of this site changes drastically.
Just my thoughts; you can completely ignore them if you want to do so.

I'm sorry to break it to you like this, Ciar, but this isn't a democracy. And if it is, it's an optional democracy. We have the right to choose our executive based on how we find it best to do so, and in this case the staff decided that the best course of action was taking a staff vote to decide the new head administrator should be chosen by staff vote. The original MBs weren't a public democracy, and while we may sometimes choose to ask users for their votes to decide a new leader, in this case, we haven't.
