:# That line is at an ever changing point right now. Currently, the bylaws allow for direct election of the steward role by the community, but not much else. I wouldn’t be shocked if that changes in the near future, but currently, that is the only direct way the community has to “govern” itself. However, I don’t believe that it would be a stretch to think that the board would listen to and comply with community requests through processes like Requests for Comment. For me personally, I believe the board has sole authority and discretion regarding legal compliance and financial decisions (although both should be done transparently). I also, though controversially, believe that part of legal compliance involves site governance. So I do believe the board, by default, has control over the governance of the site, unless specifically stated otherwise in the bylaws (such as direct election of stewards). I hope this makes sense, I’m very tired and kind of rambling. | |||
:# That’s a tough question as many of the candidates are extremely knowledgeable and qualified, but I’d have to say a different perspective. I’m definitely an outside the box thinker (whether that’s a good or bad thing, you can be the judge) and I really like to try new things to test how we can improve users experiences on WO. Some of my ideas aren’t super technically feasible, so there’s that. :) | |||
:# I’d say anything that borders on the lines of illegal or severely violates our terms of use/service. Anything surrounding harassment, the immediate safety of our users, or legal requests (data removal, underage users, etc) should be directed to trust and safety. Simple vandalism, including sockpuppetry and long-term abuse, that does not involve and legal issues is fine to allow global enforcement to handle. | |||
:# If you could be more specific, that would be very helpful. “An issue” is super broad and could mean anything from a simply spam edit bypassing the filter to a complex community discussion where users are attacking each other. | |||
:# See my reply to Raidarr. If you have any other questions to follow-up that, I’d be happy to answer them. —[[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 03:31, 18 April 2026 (UTC) | |||
