Forum:Amendment to voting policies: Difference between revisions

:As for voting creation... I don't have much to say. I'm just considering the potential that it could be abused. Even if a trusted or familiar user starts a vote, sometimes admins might rebut this action saying it's not needed ''yet'' and nullify the vote, making the voting creation ultimately requires admin's consent / consideration. I assume this proposal is to eliminate this, so that users can take responsibility and be given more freedom to act, at which point admins should be prepared for (probably unnecessary) voting creations without their intervention.

Has this come to a conclusion yet? -- '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] &#124; [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 22:42, November 24, 2014 (UTC)

:On some points, like points 1 and 2, there seems to be support, or at the very least no opposition. There is still a question pending on Point 3 regarding whether extending the right of vote creation will allow it to be misused, so that issue is as of yet undecided. Discussion on point 4 seems to stem on whether five days is too long or too short of a period, and whether there should be a maximum vote length implemented or not, and thus point 4 is also undecided. Regarding point 5, so far only Auror has expressed an issue with banning use of the poll feature for official votes, so it would appear that there is support for that part of the policy. It seems like we may be able to move on to another stage of this discussion and conclude that points one and two are agreed to as written. Now we can focus on deciding the rest.

==Vote on use of polls for voting==

Point 5 - the use of the <nowiki><poll></nowiki> feature to hold wiki votes - is a matter of some importance which is yet to be solved. To facilitate a solution, I am starting a vote.
