Hold on, so Moderation is now promoting
candidates of organisations to
leadership positions???
This is not permitted within the terms of the Game Rules. To quote them,
12.2 A leaderless organisation is an organisation with no active leaders. When an organisation is leaderless, a party with full member status may receive leadership status by posting a link to both their party and the organisation on the Organisation leadership requests thread. In exceptional circumstances, Moderation reserves the discretion to deny leadership requests.
Organisations with no active full members or leaders are actually eligible for deletion.
For reasons I explained elsewhere, I am concerned about how recent rule changes are likely to considerably increase the already excessive number of organisations. If the rules have now been relaxed even further to allow candidates to become leaders and rescue organisations from deletion, then that's going to be even more of an issue. Trust me, there are certain players who will just apply to join these organisations simply in order to coup them and take over the leadership, so they can amass as many organisational leaderships as they can. Once it becomes more widely known that this is being allowed to happen, this will only become more common.
But even putting that aside...obviously, allowing candidate members to coup organisations risks upsetting the organisation's founders, especially if the leadership applicants were specifically not promoted to full membership for the very reason it was felt they wanted (ICly and/or OOCly) to undermine the organisation's core purpose.
If you really do now have a policy of promoting candidate members of organisations to leadership positions upon request, then could I at least suggest introducing a waiting period - even if it was just 4 days or something? That would at least give the organisation's legitimate members a chance to return and sort things out, before their organisation gets couped by an outsider who was never invited in in the first place.
