(14,860 posts)Basically, lead host (everyone's probably fine with you in the role, so it's really a formality) needs to be figured out first, then co-hosts.
1: Pin a simple yes or no poll on whether to retain you as lead host with a reasonable time limit (a week or something like that).
2: Unpin and lock the poll when it's done and pin a thread with the results.
If you're retained as lead host:
1: Pin a post calling for nominations/volunteers for co-host positions and keep it open for a stated length of time.
2: When time's up, lock and unpin the thread and replace it with a pinned poll with all of the candidates and put a time limit on it.
3: Unpin and lock the poll then add the top vote-getters as hosts in order of votes received.
If you're not retained as lead host:
1: Pin a post calling for nominations/volunteers for lead host and keep it open for a stated length of time.
2: When time's up, lock and unpin the thread and replace it with a pinned poll to choose the new lead host and put a time limit on it.
3: Unpin and lock the poll, replace it with a pinned results thread, add the winner as a host and retire.
4: The new lead host then follows the aforementioned three steps for adding co-hosts.
