I've always said that this website is for all of us, by all of us. A few months ago, it was quite easy to scope out the general sentiment of the website to determine the direction we go in. As the site has grown, so have the suggestions and complaints, and I have been too busy with admin work to stay on top of the diverse opinions of our beautiful community.
Introducing: The Kouncil - 5 users selected democratically to voice the opinions of their constituents. They will not have any special powers, but will join me in Kouncil meetings where we will discuss the current affairs of Kovaze, and partake in Kouncil votes which will shape the future of Kovaze. I will still spearhead the bigger updates on the website as I am confident in my ability to deliver what the people want - but the Kouncil will step in when there's uncertainty regarding what the people want.
This is not a paid role, including Koinz. You should want to do this because you care about the site. You should be well connected in the community to know what the people want. You should not have any self-serving motives and I will personally make sure of that.
Each month, we'll be holding Elections which operate in two stages: Nominations, and The Election. During the nomination phase, anyone can nominate themselves to run for Kouncil. You (or other players) can place a donation bid for your campaign. The top 10 most funded campaigns will move on to the Election Phase where they will answer questions, as the rest of the site votes for their preferred candidates. (Note: Donations will not be taken from unsuccessful campaigns)
We hope this helps build Kovaze in the direction of the people!
