I think the current system is good. A lot of wikis use it, and it works on each wiki. Of course, the community could give some suggestions if they think someone deserves it, and the staff must be opened to these suggestions. Polls and consensus are really really long and they can create a lot of tensions in that case, especially when we need to choose a new staff member (I know it happened on the Glee Wiki when they tried to find a consensus).

Moreover, I think the staff must have the final word on this kind of decision. A staff must be a team. They must work together as a team, as one voice. If a staff member is imposed by the community, it could creates problems in the team so the atmosphere on the wiki will be bad.

So, I think we should keep the current system, but of couse the staff must be also opened to the suggestions.
