With the impending notable elections almost upon us, and notable threads clogging up the forum, I have decided to clog them up even more. And this is not a 'vote me' thread.

In my opinion, there are only a few more people deserving to be a notable, and in a year or so's time, there will be so many notables the disparity between a notable and regular will have been reduced - basically, being a notable won't be as exclusive or prestigious of half the users are one.

My suggestion is this - as has been advocated in the past by quite a few users, why not employ a 'revolving door' policy? This policy works whereby we have a set number of notables - say 10, who are recognised as making a considerable contribution to the site. At each election, rather than have to add more and more notables, thus devaluing the title, why not add 2 and take away 2?

That way elections would become much more interesting, current notables would have to prove why they are notable to make sure they don't lose their status, and people can vote for who they think has made the best contribution for the last three months, and who they shoudl replace.As exemplified by Sonicrav indicating he was willing to give up his notability becuase he was going to spend considerably less time on the site, it would also mean we don't have notables who never come on or are unable to.

Just a suggestion, that's all.

This has been suggested a few times, but I think it's a really good idea.

Sort of like a "promotion -relegation" thing then; pretty soon we'll have the Man Cities of the forums.
