As far as I remember, the only thing that seemed to be 'agreed on' was that the open threads should be weekly, starting on Mondays, and anyone could open one if it hadn't been opened by Monday. I don't see how Clarity has broken that norm. I don't see how this is anything other than an attack on Clarity for being a newcomer, and anyone who downvoted this thread should really take a step back and consider what kind of community their downvote is promoting.
I remember another person asking whether he can overtake posting the open thread.
A community where people don't try to farm karma by overtaking the roles of other people without asking that person beforehand.
A community where several people compete to be the first one to post a regularly occurring thread sounds much more robust to me than a community that relies on just one person (who may become unexpectedly unavailable) to do it.
Again, why does MrMind have that 'role'?
I think the fact that you say Clarity is 'farming for karma' - without any evidence for this claim - may give away what the real problem is.
Anyway, if the issue is just time zones, I'd be fine with, say, agreeing on UT 00:00 Monday for starting an open thread. Or maybe it would just be simpler to have a bot start the thread.
