UDWiki talk:Administration/Policy Discussion/No minimum vote on APD

Longer rationale

A couple of objections I see being raised to this:

• Yep, it's possible to spam up talk pages to get past the 20-vote minimum (I recall this being done in the past, but I cbfed finding the link.) Forcing otherwise uninterested people isn't exactly a good idea, especially when the whole point is to get past an arbitrary limit.
• A 20-vote minimum is unnecessary if the goal is to ensure that a majority of the wiki community votes. Active users have two weeks to see Wiki News and vote (and most do.)

In short, it's redundant and unnecessary. In the past, it didn't really harm anyone, but now that it's stopping otherwise good policies from passing, it needs to go (and especially since the wiki community seems to be shrinking, and not growing.)

And yes, this was made by a tired, ex-sysop who now only occasionally visits the wiki. Object to this on those grounds, if you like. Linkthewindow  Talk  13:48, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
