DigiPedia:Leitlinien/Contest

As we had bad experiences with unreliable bureaucrats who just asked for rights and then did almost nothing most of the time and also bureaucrats who used their powers to disrupt the wiki, we are particularly aware of the problem of having leechers and trolls in leading positions. For that reason we introduced a contest in order to keep the activity of the wiki high and only give very outstanding users the chance to rise to powers. The contest lasts at least one year and is the only means to receive permanent and legitimate powers. But instead of promoting several sysops and bureaucrats within months and after that not promoting anymore for several years, we think it is better to promote one bureaucrat no more often than every year. If the wiki is inactive, a short contest could be held once a year if the community wishes it. This contest should only contain a bureaucrat round.
