My vote (har har) is to move to a system where each candidate has a preference list, and when people vote for that candidate, they inherit that list. You then run a regular STV election with that. In the future, this could be extended to allow voters to choose their own STV list instead of inheriting it from the candidate they choose.

It would require, I think, that we know somewhat who is running well before hand... or should we just use the current candidates and ask 'which of them would you vote again'?
I think current CSM candidates already have too much of a leg up on appealing to underrepresented votes. If you're a highseccer you can consider voting for the guy who sounds bright but has an unproven record of getting in, or the Issler candidate who you don't really have any reason to believe is nearly as good, but might be able to get in. Entrenching that advantage doesn't help in getting the best people from those groups.
This is true, and it is also why some sort of transferrable vote system is far more important to the disorganized folks than to a group like Goons or TEST. Large groups do things like run internal primaries to narrow down their voting, and this is a huge advantage for you.
People should be able to vote for the best candidates without having to worry about tactical voting choices.

I agree. The problem isn't quite the weight that bloc candidates carry, it's the crapflood of non-bloc candidates who end up absorbing enough votes to keep some good people off the CSM (see Korvin) - forum likes are up to 3 per account and that is ~dumb~
forum likes also aren't limited to a specific number of candidates, which is the real problem. Being able to 'like' several candidates is one thing, all of them not so much. However what you could do is only the top "x" liked threads get in. That's pretty gamable though (everyone: go like our guys, and the most unelectable nobodies or useless bodies that will say nothing if elected but leave off the actual challengers).
The simple solution to this is to just run the regular election, with one vote per account, and the top X people are full candidates.
