UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Vote Striking (2)

Administration Services — Protection. This page has been protected against editing. See the archive of recent actions or the Protections log.

This is a rewrite of the currently under voting policy UDWiki:Administration/Policy_Discussion/Vote_Striking due to its ambiguity and general lack of coherence.

• Any user may strike a vote on a suggestion, promotion bid or policy for one or more of the following reasons:

• Lack of justification.
• An Unsigned or incorrectly timestamped vote.
• Suspected Sockpuppetry. This should be brought to the attention of the sysops so that checks can be made.

• Meatpuppetry may also be used as a valid reason for vote striking but this is will judged on the talk page of the particular page on a case by case basis by all users.

• Users should also be be warned that striking anything is a decision that is not to be taken lightly. It should be done only when the case for doing so is very clear, and the striker is willing to respond, constructively and in detail, to scrutiny of their actions. Strikers should clearly sign every strike they make, with a basic reason, and then post more detailed justification on the talk page.

• Should a user be unsatisfied with a vote striking and the user responsible refuses to reverse it, they may lodge a complaint against that user, which should be dealt with in the usual way.
