UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Voting Eligibility (2)

Problem

Unlike sysop promotion, where the overall opinion is only taken into account before the bureaucrats choose to promote a user or not, bureaucrat promotions, policy discussions and deletions can be manipulated by users to force their will by asking friends (so called meat puppets) who never used the wiki to vote in their favor.

Policy

For a user to have a right to vote on any administration voting processes (like policy discussions, bureaucrat promotions and deletions) he must have done one (1) single edit to any page before the beginning of the election. For policy voting, this means the day the policy was created.

Any user can strike invalid votes from users who didnt had the right to vote before the election begun.

Any user whose vote got striked can ask its vote to be validated by poiting to a page where he made an edit before the beginning of the election. This action should take place on the discussion page of that election procces, and the user must wait for a sysop to confirm the veracity of the edit and to validate the vote.
