I have found a completely outdated policy that I can guarantee multiple users with rights can be found guilty of breaking:

"Sharing links to your request for rights, or for another user's request, is acceptable. However, spamming links, harassing other users, and canvassing are not acceptable. Canvassing is defined as asking, arguing, begging, or demanding that a user supports your request."

It is my opinion that the specific act of "canvassing" should be entirely legal, if not encouraged -- politics is built around campaigns asking people to vote for the campaigner. While this would not repeal a policy against link-spamming or harassing, it would repeal the policy that "asking/arguing that a user supports your request" is illegal.

I do not want to touch "begging" as this can be construed entirely by authority bias, and I'd rather focus on "asking" and "arguing" (within the grounds of civil debate).

A - Repeal the policy of "canvassing" being unacceptable.

B - Keep the policy.

C - Keep the policy, initiate investigation into admins/CMs who earned their rights with this tactic, remove admins/CMs who apply.
