The recent thread here on old gen low tier voting thresholds gives me hope we are professionalizing our old gen tiering process. To continue that process, let me suggest:
All old gens that want to do a suspect decision must create a final voting list at least 1 week (7 full days) prior to voting.
Specifically:
All old gens that want to do a suspect decision must create a final voting list at least 1 week (7 full days) prior to voting.
Specifically:
- Everyone in the voting list should be tagged so they are aware of the vote, when the list is finalized.
- There does not need to be a Smogon/sitewide policy on what constitutes the list, but may I suggest that qualification means playing at least 3 (tournament) games and winning at least 1? We can't have ridiculously low standards like reaching round 2 of a tournament.
- One sitewide policy I would support is having at least 2 live tour suspect tournaments to allow for qualification for each old gen low tier vote.
- There should be a sitewide guideline (optional, not policy), of including several tournaments that most old gen low tiers have (Premier Leagues, Snake Drafts, Cups, and anything else).
- I doubt there will be an issue of a too small list. But I suggest a minimum of 20 voters or maybe a more flexible number, like four times the number of the old gen low tier council.
- If anyone on the list does not have a badge, they should be given permission to post in PR or the relevant thread (not sure how this moderation power works), without them needing to ask, just prior to them getting tagged.
- This list must be approved by an old gen low tier council/leader. I am aware there is no old gen low tier council/leader for most or all old gen low tiers right now. I may make a separate thread to ask for this to further professionalize.
- Creation of the voting list does not guarantee a vote, particularly if the newly tagged people are against changing the status quo/the vote.
