I don't see how those opinions would dominate, given that the exclusive role of the QAT leader is to act as a bridge between the QAT and the higher ups. And there are more active QATs in the minigames than you are actually accounting for, which makes it a false statement from the beginning. Not to mention that 1 person handling a smaller community is much more feasible than 2 people managing the entirety of the mapping and modding scene (which has been happening till now and no one had any complaint?)Monstrata wrote:
This counter-proposal requires the elected QAT leaders to actually care and manage every administrative aspect, which can be a difficult task.
Really big issue that I really doubt can be adequately addressed with non-standard communities. By that I mean, complete freedom of leadership in these smaller communities will result in certain opinions and views being dominated. There are not enough people in leadership positions to give a fair assessment of scenarios imo... not when there are what, 2 active QAT's?
That would not be correct. Every mediation has needed to be on a strict time frame set up by the QAT as a whole, no matter if the QAT of X gamemode did not agree on that specific time frame regulation; activity requirement is shared between modes and you are not allowed to open beatmap nominator applications whenever you desire. And again, for the last point, QAT leadership serves as a bridge, not as an opinion dictatorship.Monstrata wrote:
Another thing... a lot of the "pros" are stuff you already do anyways, no? Like mediate your own vetoes, managing mapping/modding criterias... Some of the things, like managing your own BN intake/applications will be solved with Mao's proposal anyways.
I feel like this proposal just cements leadership positions for non-standard QAT's, and doesn't leave a lot of room for differing opinions if QAT's are given so much more weight (than they already have now) in comparison to the BN's.
If anything, there is the possibility of both proposals coexisting as -Kazu- said in a post above, which would allow some of the points from Ephemeral and Mao's proposal to be applied without changing much of the status quo.
