Re: election process for EB members

I personally do not see a reason for the EB to change or a vote to be 
conducted. if it were necessary than the admin team would bring it up.
A vote and regular change of the EB would cause more problems than it would 
solve and the network would essentially explode.
not to mention, push comes to shove admins own the servers not EB so if 
things with the current EB ever got out of hand it isn't like it would
be incredibly difficult to kick them to the curb but I do not see any 
reason or situation that could cause that chain of events because grifferz does
all the work no one feels like doing and to discard him means one of us 
lazy staff would have to step up and do his 101 jobs which would also lead 
to the explosion of the network.

Problems of voting:
   Popularity bull
   Propaganda campaigns
   Fighting

Problems of not voting:
   grifferz occasionally complains every few months because he does most of 
the work
   people obsessed with democracy complain.

I like the current system and the people doing the job, democracy causes 
more problems than it solves in certain situations.

The only way I could see a vote being necessary is if one of the EB retired 
like for example IRC was harmful to animals or something and grifferz had 
to leave but other than that it would be a bad idea.
