Grabbing dragon asked me to check whether this was enough approvals, according to our rules.
thanks.
3 random staff isn't enough. While Ultima did say
That's saying 1-A and above is the same as other Tier 1 verses, which our
Discussion Rules clarify:
You should create a staff thread and add that for 1A and above, it requires 3 staff members plus an administrator at the bare minimum, in a straightforward way.
Combined with the other information on the page, that means 4 staff members are needed, including one administrator. Garrixian being demoted on February 1st,
I already got 4 votes, including an
administrator here.
Also, Garrixian's vote would still count since she cast her vote while she was still a staff member.
Furthermore, based on what you just said, many verses that achieved 1A and above with only 3 staff votes (which would drop to 2 votes for some of them with your logic about Garrixian) need to be be reopened, just like mine, in order to get 4 staff votes—including those Ultima already evaluated.
and none of the staff members who evaluated this listing themselves as experts on Low 1-A to 0, makes things dicey.
They don't need to be experts to understand how the tiers work, plus
this thing does not always prove they're experts when they have not proved it themselves. Plus, only 3 staff members list themselves as experts:
- Being you, Agnna, who said "(Only knowledgeable in the theoretical standards, not the practical application of which verses qualify)" and have no time.
- Now Ultima, who does not have time and has given up on this.
- Lastly, Elizhaa, who has not proven himself to be knowledgeable about these tiers when the tier system changed.
With that, any thread that has not been properly accepted by a knowledgeable higher-ranked staff member—Ultima-Reality, an administrator who understands these tiers—should be reopened so they wait for him, and the tiers they got should be removed while waiting for him since it would be a rule violation and another conclusion there are no knowledgeable administrators about this tiers right now with time to evaluate any 1A and above thread.
Should I link all the threads and verses that need to be reopened to be properly accepted? With the reasoning you and Antvasima gave.
