Board Thread:Community Voting/@comment-5111283-20150406010828

So, right now the Community Voting Board is set up on a pass/fail basis, with no clarification as to the length a potion is up (as far as I know, lol).

I think that this system needs to have set requirements, clear process, and checks in order for it to function in the best way possible.

First off I propose that we use the current majority system, but rather than a one step-to-victory approach we have two steps. First something is proposed with anywhere from two to fifty options. The option with the most votes wins. BUT, in order for that to be implemented it much be voted on again on a Yes/No proposal, e.g. the option that won will be voted on again but solely Yes/No vote and it must garner a 75% Support our of all votes in order for it to pass. I believe that this system would help to make sure that something that wasn't liked by a large majority, but the vote was split so much it got on anyways wouldn't happen, and it would also help to create a consistency among our 'Democratic dealings' here with having 75% Support for policy changes and rights given.

Additionally, I propose that we set up a seven day run period for votes, at the end of seven days a vote will be closed and consensus posted on top with a link to a new thread with a Yes/No vote on it which will also last seven days, unless there is no activity (e.g. voting) for 48 hours then the consensus will be posted on top.

The first vote would serve as a vote to flesh out ideas, suggestions, discussion, and overall voting on a matter - the second vote would serve as a finial say on something with a majority of the community supporting it in order for it to pass and no more discussions taking place, rather a Yes/No vote.

To the first proposal: A) Yes B) No C) Other, please state your idea/suggestion/whatever

To the second proposal: A) Yes B) No C) Other, please state your idea/suggestion/whatever
