Mappercraft Minecraft Server/Administration

Elections planned to return June 15, 2017.

This page contains the rules for the admin election system on Mappercraft Minecraft Server, as well as a list of all players who are or were admins or [#Superadmins superadmins].

Superadmins
Not subjected to the election system since they run the server. Permanent admins. Normal admins can not run for superadmin.


 * Monsoonjr99 (Server owner) (Since March 2015 on Monsoonjr's MCS)
 * Xenodine (Server Host) (Since July 2016)
 * Betamutt (Co-Host of Xenodine's Enjin network) (Since August 2016)

Current Admins (Xenodine-Appointed Unorganized Term)

 * Kommunist Koala AP (Since April 2016 on Monsoonjr's MCS)
 * Others that Monsoonjr99 doesn't know atm (The owner FFS XD)

Official elected admins (Term 2)
Official admins who were elected in previous terms. Will not need to be elected if Monsoonjr99 brings elections back. Xenodine's appointees will have to run to keep their op powers in said scenario.


 * Batran99 (Since August 2015 on Monsoonjr's MCS) (Console Admin) (Head Admin) (As far as Monsoonjr99 knows, Xenodine didn't appoint Batran. He will be op again if elections are brought back)
 * Kommunist Koala AP (Since April 2016 on Monsoonjr's MCS)

Election System & Rules
'''Currently not in effect since Xenodine currently appoints admins. Monsoonjr plans to bring elections back on June 15, 2017.'''


 * Terms for admin elections last 2 months.
 * Elections will occur from the 8th through 11th (ending on the 12th) days of even numbered months. (Feb., Apr., Jun., etc.)
 * The new term will begin on the 12th day of the election month (Inauguration day). Elected admin candidates will be promoted this day, and booted admins will be demoted.
 * Current admins do not need to be reelected for a new term unless they are petitioned to be booted, in which people will vote for or against them. Superadmins can not be petitioned. (Booting rules below)
 * To run for admin, or to petition an admin to be booted, you must have been playing on the server for at least 2 months, and you must not have been banned during the current term.
 * To ask to become a candidate, or petition a current admin, PM Monsoonjr99 in Skype or ask in the Server Discussion Thread on his message wall. This can only be done before the 8th day of an election month (anytime from Inauguration day of the previous election through the 7th of the election month).
 * If you're asking to run for admin, the current admins will have to decide if you're worthy of being an admin before you officially become a candidate.
 * For a candidate to pass, all non-abstaining admins must unanimously agree for their candidacy, and more than half of the admins must vote rather than abstain. Betamutt may abstain without being counted as "abstain" in the half-vote thingy.
 * If you're asking to petition an admin, Monsoonjr99 will have to decide if your request is reasonable before officially petitioning the admin.
 * If you are a candidate, and you get banned from the server, your campaign automatically ends, and you won't be able to be elected admin until the next election.
 * On the 8th day of the election month (usually around 0000 UTC, but may be later), the strawpolls for the election will be created by Monsoonjr99. The links to the polls will be posted in a blog post, on this page, and on the server's main page.
 * If there is more than one candidate, the main election poll will have all the admin candidates listed, and voters will be allowed to choose multiple candidates they think should become admins.
 *  Voters: please be serious when voting. Choose only the candidates you want to become admins, and leave blank the choices for those you don't. (i.e. Only click every single choice if you think they all should be admins, not just because you feel like spamming the poll) If you don't think any of the candidates should be admin, don't vote.
 * Once the election ends, all candidates who received 20 or more votes will be promoted to admin on Inauguration day.
 * If there is only one candidate, the main poll will be a single-choice yes/no poll. The candidate will become admin if the number of yes-votes minus the number of no-votes is 20 or greater.
 * Booting petitioned admins: for each petitioned admin, there will be a single-choice yes/no poll on whether or not to boot them. If the number of yes-votes minus the number of no-votes is 15 or greater, then the admin will be demoted on Inauguration day.
 * Around 0000 UTC on the 12th day of an election month, the poll links will be removed and the numbers will be officially set. The promoting/demoting may or may not happen right away, but should happen during the day.
 * If an admin abuses their power and/or breaks the server rules, they may be forcibly demoted before the end of the term. Petitioning and booting is mainly for admins that don't do their job well or are just plain jerks on the server.
