If option A passes, it will give only the extremely active users a chance to participate in our wiki's democratic process. Option B still gives slightly less active users a chance to vote (and this "slightly less active" group is a larger and just as important part of this community). While this is a good point, the more users vote, the longer the vote will stay up. Often times the vote stays up for days, sometimes more than a week. I know we want a good consensus, but our goal with the votes is action. And that simply won't happen if there's always just a few more users that have to vote. Is efficiency more important than the voice? We already have policy in place regarding votes where there is a clear consensus. All this vote does is cut off a large portion of the community because they weren't around for 24 hours. I've already explained that 80% support is insane. With a community this big, that's next to impossible. ... http://legomessageboards.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:271051

12 out of 25 CVs since August 3rd achieved an 80% majority. That's near half our votes in the last month and a half.

I rest my case. I meant for votes which... You know... Have counterarguments. You mean the close votes in which each person could potentially swing the vote the other way?

One person swinging a vote the other way could only happen if it's a close vote and only around 5 or 6 people have voted. I'm talking about controversial votes, such as unblocking words, for example.
