The old system required one to have 50 edits before they could vote and that was explicitly stated in the ruleset. One of the abuse filters is currently regulating this but nonetheless I'd like to propose we apply the same restriction on the new system for both discussion and voting. My reasoning for this is that we've had cases in the past where users have had users from other wikis vote in support based on personal ties and those users aren't active members of the community. This could easily be seen as swaying the vote to the nominee's favour if the users who are actually active here aren't in support of the RfX.
 
I'd also like to propose that those 50 edits are explicitly made within the project namespaces (Mainspace, Fanon and TutorialGame Guides). I think this would be useful as somebody with little to no community presence shouldn't really be weighing in on an RfA and somebody who, for example, only makes 50 blog comments before trying to join in with the discussion doesn't really constitute as part of the community.
 
I can already anticipate mixed opinions on the second point but I'd still like to know what everybody thinks. {{LabSig}} 19:59, August 13, 2013 (UTC)

::Per LiR, however if a user is voting inter-wiki, should we be counting their edits on that wiki and also taking into consideration their connection with the user whose request/nomination for RfX is being discussed on said wiki? {{PGRSig}} 03:41, August 14, 2013 (UTC)

::::@Pidge Probably best not to. It can be seen as a conflict of interest on personal grounds if somebody with 5,000 edits on another wiki shows up and voices support for one RfX candidate based on personal ties whilst having very few, if any, meaningful edits here. That and being part of another wiki's community =/= being part of TSW's community. {{LabSig}} 11:14, August 14, 2013 (UTC)
