Forum:New Administrator 2023

User:Kaido King of the Beasts stepped down several months ago from the Admin role to Content Mod. After discussion about possibly changing the rules in Forum:Update to Admin Replacement Process 2023 we had talked about possibly changing the rules, and it was agreed to keep the current rules. I've just made minor language changes to the current policies. Nominations will open Sunday, August 6th at 00 : 00 UTC, coincidentally within hours of Gear 5's reveal in the anime.

Nomination Requirements
Here are the requirements for this phase:


 * The requirements in order to nominate another user are the same as standard voting requirements
 * You must have at least 300 edits and have had an account on the One Piece Wiki for 3 months.
 * No amount of recent editing activity is required to nominate another user, however, activity will be required to vote.
 * You may only nominate one user.
 * You must be serious about nominating another user to be an admin. This is a serious issue for the wiki, and it is not time for jokes.
 * You must be serious about nominating another user to be an admin. This is a serious issue for the wiki, and it is not time for jokes.

 * If you nominate a user, it is advised that you contact them to inform them of the nomination, however this is not required.
 * Users may also change their mind about accepting or denying a nomination, but they must still do so before the nomination phase ends.

Rules
In the past elections, there was a controversy regarding voter corruption, so I will make several clarifications about this now.


 * This is NOT a campaign.


 * Things you are NOT allowed to do
 * Specifically ask any user to vote for any user.
 * Specifically ask any user to NOT vote for any user.
 * Specifically ask any user to remove their vote.
 * Make any kind of deal or exchange for a user's vote, change of vote, or removal of vote.
 * Create promotional material in favor of or against any candidate.
 * Advertise or promote a candidate on any page/article on the wiki outside this forum.
 * Use of the Discord Server or any outside communication to violate any of these rules is also prohibited.
 * Do anything else that is in violation of the Poll Rules.
 * Do anything else that is in violation of the Poll Rules.


 * Things you ARE allowed to do
 * Inform users of the election and ask them to vote without mentioning any candidates.
 * Make small declarations of "Vote for ___!" in discord, as long as they are addressed to large groups of people in public threads, and not a small group (2-3) or a single voter.
 * Make small declarations of "Vote for ___!" in discord, as long as they are addressed to large groups of people in public threads, and not a small group (2-3) or a single voter.


 * These rules all apply to both candidates and voters.
 * Candidates who violate the rules will be disqualified from the election and have their votes removed. Users who voted for the candidate will be allowed to change their vote.
 * Voters who violate the rules will have their votes removed.


 * Any issues with these policies should be brought directly to the attention of the current Administrators.
 * These issues will be decided by only the current administrators.
 * There will be no discussion of these issues if the admins do not ask for it.
 * Once two admins agree to remove a voter/candidate, the vote will be removed. There will be no ties.
