Network Leadership required Making so that Site Command Roles will have terms (05/EC)

[Average member podidski]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This Suggetion makes it so that Site Command holders and future holders will have to serve a term.
The term will last 2 weeks for ECM/O5-2+ While the term for "Leaders" of O5/EC will last 1 mouth (ECC/O5-1). Term starts when they get the role/get promoted in game. After the term is over, they are striped of their role and the role opens for future holders to apply for.
Of course rules must be placed so here my suggetion for the rules:
1. The term for ECM/05-2+ lasts for 2 weeks while the term for ECC/05-1 lasts 1 mouth/4 weeks
2. The term starts when you get promoted to the role
3. After the term is over, you are striped of your role
4. You will get the cooldown when your term is over. The cooldown will be gone when someone applies for the role you been to and serves their term
5. During the cooldown. You can't apply unless its for other Site Command role (O5-2 > ECM, ECC > O5-1)
6. The cooldown can be lifted if approved by SSL+

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Nope, Didnt see any.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- The roles won't be "forever until resigned"
- The change that will be happy for mostly all players in this community
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- A risky change, if this gets added, the current holders will be mad and may cause drama
-As there will be a "timer until its over", less people will apply for Site Command

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
It should be accepted. This change will cause drama yes but least the change that will benfit both sides.
If this suggetion gets accepted and put in power after the accept or later, make it so that current holders for Site Command will be informed that their term starts now and they have to serve.

P.S: I wanted to make my suggetion prefix NL requried but didnt see any there, so if any staff sees this, please put the prefix "Network Leadership Required". Thank you.





Ah democracy. The system that everyone wants and will fight for.

This kills any sort of actual reason to go for a role, the application/interview/expectations of the role cannot be done in the span of any sort of term. The role should be based on competency like.... every other role on the server. There's no point removing someone who's able to actually keep up to scratch and replace him with john giggleshit the IV because it's been a week!

It is an insult to those that put the effort in to only be allowed 2 weeks to a month in a position.
It is not the Presidential Election, there is no need for "terms." It's a roleplay position not a full-time job.

You don't have to throw shade on the guy for coming up with an idea and presenting it... Go and make a forums suggestion right now and we'll see what you come up with

Shade? The suggestion just doesn't work. I cannot imagine anyone sacrificing a site admin or Cl4 to be ethics or O5 for 2 weeks then completely thrown into a dumpster. UK and US are completely different community wise everyone here can agree. This suggestion would completely remove the ability to somewhat change server without needing ssl approval and would limit the rp we all enjoy

Dear lord, why are all you posts in black text.

would've been a good suggestion if they served 4 year terms with a re-election vote afterwards

Firstly, in order for this suggestion to work, and not constantly drain department leaders and site administrators from their positions (which would harm departments), you would have to not only make these terms much longer than just two weeks, but you would have to give all SrCL4 positions terms. I believe that would deviate too much from what NL wants SCP-RP to look like, and what most of the player base wants SCP-RP to look like.

Secondly, as somebody who has a lot of Site Command experience under their belt, Site Command is the reward for having improved the server and it's health in some capacity, its not just something that anybody who gets there is willing to rotate out of after a brief time. Some storylines and command directives take a long time, sometimes departments need help and SC needs to be there, a steady hand, to guide leaders over time. This takes longer than two weeks.

Thirdly, if this suggestion aims to get more players the opportunity of being Site Command, that's fine. Just know that as someone who has been in a site command branch three separate times, its definitely not impossible to get there. It is not supposed to be easy, there are only eight of us at a given time for a reason, but its not all that difficult if you just care about your former department as a leader before applying.

Fourth and lastly, CN SCP-RP for as long as I've known has encouraged player-base leadership in SrCL4 and CL5 positions to steer the server and it's roleplay forward. If you remove the element of a steady player-based leadership of roleplay on the server, than SCP-RP will be like every other server where SL is absolute and the players have no say; not because a given CL5 at the time is incompetent, but out of necessity for stability if the chain of command is constantly shifting at the very top.

I strongly -support this. And I encourage others to do the same.
