Board Thread:Community Voting/@comment-28939754-20160918035013

Recently I was reading over community policy, and I noticed that we do not have any rules regarding the people who can and can not vote on RFRs besides the "active for one month" rule. I think it's time for this to change.

I think the people voting on RFRs, especially CM, admin, and bureaucrat RFRs, should not only be active, but also active in the community has a whole. This means users who have the inactive tag, but also users who edit but never participate in chat, can not vote on these RFRs. I feel it's too easy to exploit the current system. In fact, I was even guilty of doing this myself. I came out of retirement for the sole purpose of voting oppose on a RFR. That is hardly fair. I also think if a user is not active on chat or in the community, they're hardly a good judge of the person they're voting for, which is also unfair.

So, should we restrict the people allowed to vote on these different RFRs to people both active on the site and active in the community as a whole?
