President responsibilities would include

- Boosting the community spirit.

- Establishing connections with other online groups.

- Helping new users settle in on the site.

- Being a role model for the community.

- Reminding people about the importance of worshiping Garfield.

- etc.

The presidential position would be temporary, say, for one year, or perhaps just a couple months. Then we would host another election.

inb4 "cicero should be the president".

Cicero is busy fighting apple to accept the ios app. He has no time to host Garfield day celebrations and write motivational speeches.

I could create a system where you guys vote on a different president like every 4 months or so. It wouldn't really do anything, could just be an honorary title/username color. Maybe have a page where it lists all the former presidents.

y/n?

That'd be pretty cool. Could the president get a power? Like to the ability tag posts with "I'm President *UserName* and I support this message" or something?

I personally think that this would be a fun thing to do and a cool addition to the Mainchan lore, but since not many users responded, I guess people don't really care.

 

Regarding the voting, I am concerned that someone might make many accounts to manipulate the election. The president role won't be very serious so it won't be a big deal if someone manipulates the votes, but if a single user would continuously be president, then people would lose interest in the elections.
