The mayoral team is working on a surprise that I think could slightly please many of you. I'll give a hint: this change is long overdue.

Let's do this like a business (bleh).
Do you have a rollback plan for your surprise, in case it fails or is unwanted or has unintended side effects?
Do you have sign-off from at least 3 department heads?
Have you filed a change request with the board?

It was the rank list, so it would've been trivial to change it to something else if we needed to, but I didn't anticipate it being a problem. I didn't see the need to get explicit permission either, because I felt it is established as precedent that this is permissible, given that many mayoral teams have made this change before.
Fame, prestige, power!
I think the main advantage (and maybe the main disadvantage) of being on the mayoral staff is that the things you do and say are always taken seriously. If you make a lot of topics as a regular member, you're a spammer ; if you do it as a staff member, you're 'driving activity'. In and of ourselves, we don't really have the ability to change major things on the forum (for excellent reasons I can discuss if anyone is interested, although many of you longtime members already know), but because of the mandate we have (by virtue of our election) to implement our platform and change things, our ideas are always on the inside track, and we can help get other people's suggestions there too. You don't need to be a staff member to have an impact on the forum's future, but the job does have a multiplier effect, and I like making a difference.
