i think that if you are dont comment in council at least once a week you should get kicked
This doesn't make much sense. What happens if a person from the council has to leave for a week or so to deal with real life situations? Should this rule apply to an incredibly active person on the council forums, but doesn't get responses from anyone else in regards to their comments?

I don't think any Council members should be kicked; there needs to be a very important reason for a person to be removed from the council/have a title removed altogether, and being inactive for 1 week out of 12 (where they might be giving out comments and suggestions on a daily basis) shouldn't be a factor.

That said, 18 may be pushing it, but I find that if the council needs more fresh blood, the better. :)

I think SG's thinking on this is that if there are 18 members, and half are inactive, at least thats still 9 ppl giving good ideas rather than half of 12 (6). I realize that ideally you'd have the 12 best as the chosen, but realistically great people can end up going inactive for reasons outside the game, so having a larger number in the council gives a better chance of having a higher real number (not necessarily percentage of council wise) of active people in it contributing ideas and helping.
This is exactly the reason.

With current Council, after the initial excitement, I would say that roughly half of Council Members stayed active, maybe slightly above in some topics, but even lower than that with others. When I went to see the list of Council Members the other day, I was actually surprised to see one name there, because I couldn't remember this person posting once on the Council section. I didn't even know that this member was a Council Member. One other I knew was a Council Member, but again, I didn't remember one single post that this person had made.

So to those who were concerned that the Council section would somehow be overwhelmed with ideas and posts, I doubt that it will happen. 12 was not enough. Having that extra 6 might help. Sure there's always the possibility of all 18 becoming highly active, but I don't see it as a huge problem. We have a limit in active Council topics to prevent total chaos.

To me, if someone wants to join the council just for the icon, and is able to convince enough people in the community that they'd do a good job, thats their problem. I dont think it hurts to have someone join and do nothing any more than to just have 6 less people join. Sure they get an icon, but does that actually do anything for them if they dont even participate? Its not like they get some reward in game or something. Also, I dont think that people would vote someone in who would intentionally just apply for the icon. They'd have to be someone who is at least somewhat respected by the community to make it in in the first place.

Arg! So close :[
I'd totally try out if it wasn't for the 3+months thing.

Anyway, good luck to all the eligible candidates!

*phew*

I may not have been on the forum for long, but during that time I have been quite active, even if I say so myself :)
Actually kind of forgot about that 3 months rule... o.O

Not actually going go to apply this time...

I'll admit I wasn't the biggest voice in the last one, but I did post my ideas and vote, just stayed away from topics where I didn't feel I could add anything.

Nevertheless, it'll be fun to see who gets in this time :P
