'''Oppose''' The 5 day vote duration is too long and using polls is still a viable method to gain consenus. [[User:Auror Andrachome|Ѧüя◎ґ]] ([[User talk:Auror Andrachome|talk]]) 20:25, October 2, 2014 (UTC)
:What length of time would you suggest? And, if polling is a viable method, how do you prevent poll tampering, especially considering you can't see who is voting (thus you can't see who is tampering)? -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 06:12, October 4, 2014 (UTC)
::@{{u|Auror Andrachome}}: Perhaps it's a bit late, but it specifically says at [[Help:Poll]] that <span style="color:rgb(0,133,96);font-family:Georgia,'DejaVuSerif',serif;line-height:22.399999618530273px;">Votes are registered under either your username or, if you're not logged in, your IP address. This means the poll does not take a reliable count of unique individuals, and it '''should not be used for important purposes'''.</span> Polls are an insecure and a ludicrous way to gain consensus. They are easily manipulated and they can attract tons of random strangers to vote blindly without fear of being looked at, because polls are purely anonymous. If a bunch of strangers that don't even edit the wiki or hardly even read the wiki vote, what sort of "consensus" is that? --I am [[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] [[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF"><sup>Talk to me!</sup></span>]] [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F"><sub>See what I have done</sub></span>]] 02:40, October 21, 2014 (UTC)
I '''support''' this amendment. It appears that the current policy we have has some flaws, especially regarding to the issue where only admins may start a voting procedure. It should be noted that although regular users can start a vote, admins should still moderate it so that the procedure is not overused. Do the [[The_Sims_Wiki:Policy/Participation_Policies#Voting Requirements|voting requirements]] remain unaffected?
