::I think the username is borderline inappropriate. I'd have to think a bit on whether or not it rates blocking. However, this user's behavior so far would seem to put them on a fast track to an indefinite block, assuming they persist in it.

==Vote on Forum:Wiki theme redesign==
I would like some administrative input on how to best handle the vote which has just ended on [[Forum:Wiki theme redesign]]. Specifically, the vote itself violated the [[The Sims Wiki:Policy/Participation Policies|policy on voting]] in two ways - it was started by a non-administrator, and it only lasted for one day.
 
We have a few options open to us regarding the matter. One, we could accept the results of the vote as it stands; essentially, we {{Wiki|Wikipedia:Ignore all rules|ignore the rule}} and accept the result of the vote as it stands. Two, we ignore the rule against non-admins starting votes and enforce the two-week requirement, meaning the vote would continue for another thirteen days, or else set it to a length of time that is shorter than 14 days but longer than one day. Three, we throw out the vote as being invalid and take some action from that point. As well, we could perhaps accept the results of the vote as a tentative result while we push the community to seek further options.
 
Ultimately, I think the question at hand is whether we ignore the voting policy and accept the vote, or enforce the voting policy and alter or eliminate the vote. My stance on the matter is that we should enforce the policy. In my opinion, there isn't sufficient reason in this case to ignore the rules as written, since the wiki background isn't of the utmost importance for the future of the wiki. I'm unsure about how to proceed in this case, though. - '''[[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>''' 00:21, September 2, 2014 (UTC)
