What changes can we expect from the results of this poll?
If it passes? For one thing, claiming “unstuck is not a democracy” would be incorrect.
As such, acting out on such a bogus claim as an elected mod would be a violation of trust, and exceeding their mandate. Similar in severity to say, as an example, an officer of unstuck gratuitously exposing PMs, and much more severe than simple name-calling y/o whatever “pearl clutching” the usual suspects are whining about now.
eta:
If it fails, unstuck will not be a democracy. So… no elections such as this one would be “official” or binding going forward. What unstuck would then “be” would remain to be worked out.
And, uh, what’s your recourse if the owner of this site gives no fucks about your poal?
Spoken like a true man of the left.
Hey yes voters can you guys give some examples of some thriving internet communities that are “democracies” i.e. have little to no active moderation? Thanks in advance!
They have their little “mod-free” club, which is only mod-free because they pre-ban their enemies rather than banning them after the fact, but it’s not all that fun because they also want to harass their enemies.

spe what now?
spe does not pretend to be either mod-free or a democracy. You’re welcome to start a poal there, though! You can even declare it a breach of trust on par with Judas Iscariot if your requests aren’t honored.
so spe has gatekeepers and a gestapo just in case any of the chosen few happen to get uppity. sounds delightful. Jesus would approve.*
*maybe. who tf knows. we can check in with Santa while we’re at it

Ooooooh, a Gestapo! Sounds scary. Maybe they’ll round you up and send you to camp and execute your family just for being who you are! Or maybe they’ll just ban you from a small web community if you’re an asshole. Who can really tell the difference?

who wouldn’t want to be part of a place where having a different opinion about something than the majority could get you labeled an ahole and banned? vigorish debate is so passe. the new sign-ups must be pouring in.

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
My favorite refuge of scoundrels. Always banned for having a “difference of opinion.” Never a mention as to what that difference actually was.

I wondered how long it would take the vindictive ban merchants to again imply that bans are nothing and people complaining were a bunch of whiny snowflakes.
Or that was their line until one day yer man RIverman got a one day ban, went totally ape-shit and “threatened” to leave if it wasn’t revoked…
LOOL

we’re still taking. please share the differences that you think justify the ahole label and banning someone that haven’t been upheld here
How about you write the essay instead.
Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
My favorite refuge of scoundrels. Always afraid of having an honest discussion on what the “difference” between being labeled an ahole and getting banned or not actually is.

DEBATE ME!!!
Sure thing, Nielsio. At no point have either of us been having an honest discussion, and it’s laughable to claim you are interested.

YOU KNOW WHERE MY AHOLE LINE IS, AHOLE!!!
speak for yourself with this trash. you won’t (or can’t) articulate where the differences are when directly asked after saying I didn’t mention them.
unsurprisingly tho, it seems all the friends in your social circle know where this magical ahole/bannable line is. how fortunate for all of you.
