It will be one or two votes at the most. Are you all just scared that perhaps some new user from another wiki will say something completely irrelevant to the discussion and convince some people to change their votes and thus harm the community? :O And by blocking that completely plausible situation, you will also potentially shield the community from expert advice and viewpoints from more successful wikis.

So just, why? I don't see what's wrong with giving their advice, but why do we have to do what they say?

Let's make our own freaking decisions. You don't have to do what they say, lol. I'm just saying this will most likely do more harm then good, by not allowing outside users to give their opinions. .......Isn't this just saying they can't vote? Well yes, but even that isn't very beneficial. And there are votes currently for these same requirements for community discussions.

Where the heck are those.......? Those votes are to add all RfR rules to Community Voting; this is for edit requirements only.

Looks to me like he's saying we're having discussions about restricting people from being allowed to contribute to the discussion period.
