Tl;dr: This is an amazing idea, but there is much more that needs to be implemented to even begin to fix the issue you are trying to address. A great idea, but a dollar store band aid to something that needs a tourniquet.
So, after reading everyone's responses, this is what I have come up with myself:
It's obvious that what we are wanting can NOT be easily achieved by a handful of people. It sounds like a reworking of Staff is needed, basically.
What I mean is we need committees/councils. And it shouldn't be limited to just what's being discussed here (we definitely don't want ANYONE to feel left out.)
I propose these committees (off the top of my head of course! I'm sure I'm missing some communities):
LGBT Committee
BIPOC Committee
Trans Specific Committee
Disabled Committee
Cishet Committee
Religious Committee ( I mean, cmon. I have counted MAYBE six religions represented in the shops....)
Generalized Committee comprised of reps from the other committees, and also the rest of the Senatorship/PB/President/etc.
The specific committees would handle things that are specific to their group. This would include reports of -phobic activities, advocating for more representation on the site, etc. Then the general committee would be where the specific committees bring their community's issues to the rest of the Senatorship/PB/President. The committees also wouldn't be JUST the Senators. They would have to be comprised of ALL staff to fairly spread the load.
I think having anonymous voting would be best across the board, not just for these specific positions. It would keep the popularity contest feeling down, and would ensure that those who are elected are truly good for the community as a whole. And honestly, would probably boost the number of people wanting to run for office.
Unfortunately Toki, I don't think this is something that can be implemented quickly. Regardless of how we go about it. There is just too much that would need to be done in order for something like what you're wanting done to be done well and with a chance of succeeding. I think, also, the rules of the land NEED to be followed and enforced. Obviously there is an imbalance here (people being quite literally silenced for speaking out).
This thread was created specifically to discuss the establishment of a team of LGBT+ people who would help address homophobia and transphobia on Bimboland. This addition is pretty inappropriate considering that cishet people are the group mainly responsible for LGBT+phobia. Maybe put the suggestion of a cishet committee in another thread?Cishet Committee
