Voting limits[edit]

Voting on:

Proposal #1 — Removing this rule from Wiktionary:Voting policy:

  • "No topic should have a new vote more than once a day (24 hr period)."

Proposal #2 — If, and only if, the Proposal #1 passes, adding this new rule in Wiktionary:Voting policy to replace what was removed:

  • "The same person cannot create more than one vote in the span of 7 days. (For example, if someone creates a vote on December 9, then they must wait until at least December 16 before creating another one.)"
  • Note: If the proposal 1 fails, then the proposal 2 is void.

Rationale:

  • The Proposal #1 is about removing a rule about voting "once a day (24 hr period)", which translates as 30 votes per month and therefore is not an useful limit. (and it uses "topic" as an additional criterion without actually defining it: could we create 60 votes per month under 2 different topics?)
  • The Proposal #2 is about a suggested more feasible limit on the number of votes created by someone. It translates as 5 votes per month, per person.

Oppose[edit]

Oppose. We don't need more bureaucracy for its own sake. When has creating too many votes been a problem recently except with Daniel, who has clearly learned his lesson? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:07, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Metaknowledge: You are opposing the idea of removing a useless rule, and saying: "We don't need more bureaucracy for its own sake." Are you sure? --Daniel Carrero (talk) 03:13, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, thanks for correcting me. I should've read it more carefully. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:34, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's allright. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 03:37, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose We need more limitation, not less, on these proposals. Chris Troutman (talk) 18:40, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  7. Oppose There is such a thing as too many votes but I don't think we need the proposed rule of max 1 new vote per person and week. My rule of thumb is that there should never be more than 10 votes currently running, but even that should not be made into a ridig rule. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:15, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
