    Each week the current slate of pending votes is posted and voting can occur with upvotes and downvotes on an aye, nay, and abstention comments inside the post.

    I really like this, helps keep it neat and easy to find each question on the “ballot” which will have a natural time limit




  • My suggestion here would allow for this:

    The current aye/nay system is cluttered and clunky. How about we allow comments in [discussion] posts and then have a separate [vote] post with a single comment for each option so people can choose up/down/abstain? Then nobody has to count anything, human or bot, or worry about typos, formatting, sarcasm, etc.

    I also propose a minimum of 3 days, maximum of 1 week per each [vote], no time limits for discussion. You can choose when to start the official [vote] after discussion starts.

    Aye, I agree; I think this is a good starting point.

    Perhaps we should also require a time limit for each vote, so we can officially state a result at a defined point in time instead of dragging it out forever. I am assuming a [vote] will result in a rule change, while a [poll] is nonbinding and simply gauges the community’s thoughts. If we do have a time limit, I think it’s a good idea to have a minimum of 3 business days or something like that so someone can’t hold a secret 1 hour vote on a weekend or holiday. I know not everyone lives in Canada or the US, but we could use those countries as starting points for holidays.

    Edit: expanded on my thoughts here
