UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Off-Site Requests for Admin Actions

In general, off-site requests relayed to administrative pages don't need to be carried out, with a few exceptions:

1. Actions requested on behalf of a banned user (especially for, but not necessarily limited to Permaban appeals).
2. Actions that would have been considered to be scheduled anyway (particularly, but not limited to Scheduled Deletions and Scheduled Protections).

Sys-Ops may temporarily tolerate other off-site requests. As such a request is merely tolerated, a sys-op may anytime ask for another sys-op to overturn it, unless the user himself shows up on-site to confirm it.

The following actions are absolutely never eligible for off-site requests, but must always be asked for on-site:

1. Votes
2. Self-requested bans
3. Self-requested demotions

Voting Section

Voting Rules

Votes must be numbered, signed, and timestamped. They can take one of two forms: # comments ~~~~ or # ~~~~ Votes that do not conform to the above will be struck by a sysop.

The only valid voting sections are For and Against. If you wish to abstain from voting, do not vote.

For

1. -- Spiderzed█ 15:10, 30 May 2011 (BST)
2. --User:Sexualharrison15:11, 30 May 2011 (bst)
3. --^TCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 15:12, 30 May 2011 (BST)
4. I still don't really like the part about temporarily tolerating other off-site requests but I don't suppose it can be too badly abused. It's probably just me and its no reason to shoot it down. Overall the policy is good and definitely one that is needed. ~ _{15:15, 30 May 2011 (UTC)}
5. Sounds reasonable.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 16:23, 30 May 2011 (BST)

Against

1. -If it's even remotely worthwhile, it's worth taking the 10 seconds to log in and sign. If it isn't, then don't bother requesting it. --Karloth Vois ^¯\(°_o)/¯ 15:24, 30 May 2011 (BST)

   how about if they are banned?--User:Sexualharrison15:34, 30 May 2011 (bst)

2. Why would anyone vote for this? It had potential right up until the author intentionally made it so on a whim any sysop can step in and undo the request. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 16:23, 30 May 2011 (BST)
