These policies cover voting and discussion by users on the wiki.

Voting Procedures

Voting as a means to determine consensus for a decision should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. If a vote must occur, it should be held only after significant time has passed for all viewpoints to be taken into account. To encourage discussion rather than voting, votes may only be initiated by Administrators or Bureaucrats. A voting period lasts 2 weeks after the vote is created, unless otherwise stated, while the voting period for bureaucrat nominations lasts 1 week.

It should be noted that anyone is allowed to comment, but not everyone is allowed to vote.

This Voting Procedure is in effect as of 17 January 2011. It was amended through consensus on 28 November 2014.

Voting Requirements

Anyone who wants to vote must meet these requirements:

  1. Must be a Registered Member (Anonymous or IP Votes will not be counted)
  2. Must have at least 1 edit in the Sims Wiki
  3. Votes must be signed correctly with ~~~~
  4. Banned users votes will not be counted.

These Voting Requirements are in effect as of 12 March 2008.
