Admin Team Reinforcements

[Eppy]

Reluctantly voted 'Yes' on all three. Joe I've known since he joined, he's probably the sanest individual on Council of Dons (besides me, of course:)). Marburg I don't know as well, but he's been here almost as long as I have and I've had nothing but positive experiences with him. Dieter I've heard some mixed opinions on from various people, some trusted, some not; I don't know him well, but he seems competent and the men under his command seem very appreciative of his presence, so I'll also put forth a tentative yes there. Further investigation is warranted, but I'm not worried.

That said, I think this poll, and the Admin process in general, is poorly conducted. Kindred and n00bl3t, for once, have valid concerns. These things are big bandwagons. Pressure to agree with the majority is huge, and even I, a guy responsible for almost a hundredth of the counted posts on a 30K+ account forum, even feel it. People probably are afraid to express their opinions, and quite frankly, Dusty and Del's post read like they're bringing the 'no' voters up on charges (and this from somebody who said yes on all three). What's more, this should have been done in three separate threads, so that people don't feel pressured to make all three decisions at once. Finally, I think the fundamental method of how Admins are selected (by other Admins) is fundamentally flawed. Only people whose political stances are largely in line with the current Administration actually get nominated for the selection process. This ensures that paradigms become exceptionally difficult to change within the administration, and policy errors become very difficult to correct.

Which Dreadnought was that?
