User blog:Obi the LEGO Fan/Petitions

So, we have finally decided to implement an idea I had a while ago for getting the community more involved.

The admins have decided to implement a new system for submitting petitions! Any user can create a petition, and after receiving a large amount of support (20 or more signatures), the admins are expected to vote on it. The admins may also vote on petitions that may not be as popular, but bring up good points nonetheless.

Petitions will help the admins to make decisions regarding the wiki, and find solutions to problems on the wiki! Here are some guidelines about petitions:


 * Joke petitions are not allowed; they will be deleted.
 * You may not create a petition asking for a user to be banned, unbanned, or demoted. Any such concerns should be brought privately to an administrator.
 * A petition cannot merely remind admins of a problem; it must suggest a solution.

The admins have also decided that Recommendation For Rights (RFR) counts as a petition. We will vote on anyone who attains ten or more recommendations for a certain right, including possible administrators.

To create petitions, go here. Type the name of the petition in, and click create. Then use this format for your petition:
