Perhaps people will behave if they know they will be voted for if they missbehave ? Smile

Thought more seriously about the vote thing. In fact the fact I was exposed to such system, and that it pretty hurt my feelings, helped me in this Smile

Vote is ok as long as people voting aren't anonymous. Why?

Let's take a simple example:
I behave like a bad boy, eating all the guild cakes before the RL meeting (someone did that I think Twisted Evil ), using Crow's pet as sex toy Shocked and having a laugh a Gloom as he needs a cane to walk because of his old age Yar good . The council warns me, spank me with a herring but I just ignore all they are saying. Then comes the time they decide to toss me in a fjord with bottles of Glögg filled with sand.

The council start a poll: "Should we toss Corny in the Fjord?" - Yes/No
89% of the CLOWNs vote yes. My fate is sealed!

Needless to say that I'm not quite happy with the idea of drowning due to bottles filled with sand. Dang, at least I should have the time to empty the bottles myself. People start comforting me with "ooooh, so sad you're gonna drown".

But what will happen if the vote was anonymous? Simple: whatever the mate online will tell you, you will always think that he might be one of those who voted for your death. You feel uncomfortable with that and will end up avoiding seeing all people that are in the guild.

=> Vote should not be anonymous. In the case we are discussing it would be for the "banning" of a member. I think the minimum we can ask is that people voting "kick" sign with their name. At least the guy facing the judgement will know who decided it and will have the freedom to decide if he understands or if he prefers breaking contact. And it would avoid the council to bear the full responsibility of sanctions. Afyer all, we're adults, even if CLOWNs Very Happy

Let's think about some more Wink

Nasty man Razz

I agree with you about the anonymous voting, but i'm not sure visible voting would work either, simply because people may not vote honestly if they know the person that they are voting 'against' can see that they have.

Sorry, I know this doesn't help at all, just my thoughts on it.

My thoughts too Slin, I think either way we're stuffed on that one. I don't see any way of getting around the problem that ppl are going to feel uncomfortable in a guild that has (at least in part) tried to kick them, whether they know exactly who it was or not.

Honestly I think this would be up to the individual involved to be strong enough to take this kind of 'criticism' and deal with it honorably and without predjudice against those who may have instigated the action against them. As has been said before (by Affie mostly) sometimes these s**t descisions are necessary and have to be made.

Well Perhaps 3 options

1 = Yes

2 = No

3 = I wish for the council to decide that matter.

Either way we all get to vote and cant say we got overunned.


Just some toughts

Kicking out of the guild is a really serious matter. I think that voting a yes on that does require a name. Because if I condemn someone to be banished, it's part of this decision to say "I do". Otherwise it's too easy to say yes and then just say you're sorry...

I don't quite understand the point of people saying that the council decide because some might feel bad to vote a yes. First, if they do feel bad, they should not vote yes and remain neutral. Then it's a bit too easy to say that the council is responsible for the kick and to wash your hands saying "I didn't take the decision".

Why named? I dunno how I can explain this without bringing the example on the table, which I don't want Smile So I'll try to find another one, that is happening at work. Both things really made me feel sick for some time.

I'm a Project Manager and was supposed to go for sen ior project management. Due to "concflict of interest" I have to move from team. The manager of the team is in fact a close friend and it's difficult for him to manage me which is understandable. We discussed this (hot discussion!) and we decided it was better to stay friend and split our areas of work. Then in fact I came in the first line for critics... Meaning: free target for anyone, don't leave a name... Result of it was: I am not even a PM anylonger. I have to go do some shit technical work that might get better in the future ("We'll see how you do"). Decision is taken by top management that never followed what I was doing and based its decision on this no name feedback system. And now I have tons of people coming to my office saying "I heard the news! Sooooo sorry for you! I don't get it, you were really doing a great job". Amongst those, some have probably said very bad things on me, that ended up in a sanction. I don't know who it was, and will never know. I started searching for a new job even if I continue smiling saying "Oh, it might be a great challenge". Once gone I will never speak to any of my colleagues here again cause there will always be a doubt.

What can you learn with that: Saying top decide isn't helping much and puts all the bad work on the top table (I think the council should be used for better things than that). No name voting isn't helping much either. Voting with name while giving the opportunity to people to other to disagree (in the way "No, don't kick him, he's a great guy") seems for me the best way to go. And if someone votes yes, it's also good to say why. This way you learn, you grow. Getting kicked again from another guild for the same reason would be sad. The only think we must be sure is that: no reaction and argumentation can be done on the vote subject. We can find way to do this. And if I decide to vote for a kick, I would be ready to discuss with the person and say why I did so. Maybe I could change my mind, maybe not. But I would always leave a door open...

Hope it helps understand my point. Reactions please... C'mon... Hurry... Bored at work atm Smile

Out of subject: Sasch, please post all things related to your problem on the same post mate Wink But I saw the request and I'll try to be there the day of the discussion.
