Just because they don't have work released here doesn't mean they lack design/coding skills.

You have missed a part of my post. Let me quote:

Knowing some of them in person, I have enough basis to state with confidence that many of these members are in no way qualified for their positions based on their experience (not speaking about work).

I understand the position of the staff on this, but my post was directed mostly at non-staff. I am only asking staff members to hear out what non-staff members will say. You can always respond with a final decision afterwards. Thanks.

As for other factors for election, can these factors be made public so that we can discuss them?

I would not doi this on a forum I ran, and I would not expect those who run this one to do it either.

If you ensure your own safety and create a seperate group of staff that can be elected or brought down, I don't see why not.
