Below is a community guideline. Any club is free to adopt the guideline in full, partial or rewrite to make it fit the club.

We seek crowd sourcing help from the broader admin community to tweak and evolve this community guideline. Magician 64 Squares admins will update this post #1 as we get feedback.

Below guide (version 1.0) is the result of hard work and collaboration with the M64S HQ team. Cheers,

Only SAs can promote and demote admins. However, it is wise that they do so in consultation and collaboration with the entire admin team. We recommend the below processes as guideline.

A model or high performing admin team collaborates on all decisions, in particular:

1) All promotions of potential new admins are discussed in a temporary forum and all admins are heard. After a decision is determined, this forum is deleted. All admins know this and speak frankly and openly.

2) When a SA or admin is being considered for demotion a temporary club is created and all admins except the one in question is invited to discuss the issues and decide the best course of action. The team may or may not decide to invite the admin in question to join the temporary club and tell his/her side of the story. Once the admin team makes a decision this temporary club is deleted.

3) The admin team treats everyone within the team with respect and collaborates on decisions within the main club, especially decisions to delete content or mute/ban members. This was discussed in an earlier forum:

4) Optionally, an admin team may formulate guidelines about when to demote an admin for inactivity (not logging into chess.com) or non participation (never post in HQ). The details of this guideline can vary from club to club. Some clubs offer a special arrangement for an admin who offers advance notification to the club that he/she will, say, be taking a 6 month sabbatical from chess.com.
