Vote on disallowing merging polls on votes

Vonness11`·9/28/2015 in Community Voting

Title sums this up. This is something that concerns me as it's happened twice now, (Thread:230196 and Thread:239943) and I don't know about anyone else but this doesn't seem like the way votes should pass. For example, on the one revoting admins and CMs, the two different supporting polls were merged even though the successful one was opposing. This feels like cheating to get the poll you want to be the consensus, which obviously isn't being fair or right. (Vote merging = e.g. if A has 16 supports but B and C each have 10, B and C will be combined to make 20 supports and become the consensus.)

A) Support vote merging.

B) Oppose vote merging.

C) Neutral

Current Votes

A) Support vote merging: 8 votes.

B) Oppose vote merging: 14 votes

C) Neutral: 4 votes.

Consensus

No more vote merging.

Really, it could all be helped by a clearly written vote before being posted. If the vote were to just say that X and Y will be combined in the event that Z doesn't pass or something. But, when it's done without any warning on the vote itself when posted, I don't like that - it feels manipulative.

edited this in, thanks for the idea. I was in no way trying to be manipulative but if that's your idea of how I operate I won't try and change your opinions.

lol bro, I wasn't talking about your vote, er, this vote - it was a blanket statement about votes in general

A, if the participants of the merged votes actually give consent

B, there's no way to justify an outcome that wasn't voted for by a majority. votes should be allowed to close without a clear consensus if that's how they turn out.
