Voting Section

Voting Rules

Votes must be numbered, justified, signed, and timestamped. # justification ~~~~ Votes that do not conform to the above may be struck by any user.

The only valid votes are Keep, Kill, Spam or Dupe. If you wish to abstain from voting, do not vote.

Keep Votes

1. Keep - Author vote. --Ltpotter 15:43, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
2. Keep - I like this. Good work.--Kooks 16:04, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
3. Keep/Change - If the only message other players would receive was 'Player X shot into the air' this could be used for military-style ceremonies as well as cowboy style celebrations. --Toejam 21:57, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
4. KEEP - HELL YEAH! THIS IS GOOD! I like this one! --Jarethshadow 01:15, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
5. keep - something I've been wanting to do for a while. --Lt.G Deathnut | TheStayPuftMan 15:12, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Kill Votes

1. Kill - So, you can hear someone shooting in the air in the neightboring blocks, but can't hear them shooting at another player even if you're in the same block? No thank you. And next time please spellcheck your suggestion. --Midianian^|T|DS|C:RCS| 16:21, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
2. Kill - As above and below, also as on Shoot into the Air. It will only be abused, encouraging idiotic behaviour and spam. _■^■ 21:15, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
3. Kill - We don't need all these extra shooting options. If you want to shoot into the air use a flair gun.--Turtleboy412 16:42, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
4. Kill - As Mid. Doesn't make any sense, and would just encourage ammo wasteage. Linkthewindow  Talk  00:41, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
5. Kill - Definitely would not improve the signal-to-noise ratio in the game.--Jiangyingzi 00:46, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
6. Kill - Doesn't seem to be overly useful, and it would really spam up communications. --ZsL 16:42, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Spam/Dupe Votes

1. Spam - For the exact same reason as last time, and you've only increased that. Implied effect. You can hear some retard firing into the air but you can't hear me putting 12 rounds into Little Miss Level 1 before I run out of AP? Also shooting at the lights implies that it will trigger the same status messages as the power in adjacent blocks going down and if applicable restore the darkness condition in applicable buildings. I would say spell check this before you resubmit it, but I'd rather you never submit this again. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 17:46, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
2. Spam - As above. And probably below, too. --WanYao 19:38, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
3. a cycle? - As WanYao. --

4. Spam - As Nevin. --Pestolence^(talk) 19:52, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
5. SPam - Again please do not encourage more idiotic waste of ammo and ap among survivors. --Diablor 22:43, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
6. Spam Worse then before. I'm not strictly against waisting ammo. If some dumbass wants to, let them. But then we DON'T need to hear the bitch and whine when they do. It makes no sense the hearing range. I believe it would actually be VERY quiet. First of all you have to remember there is less noise now. Malton has been under quarantine for YEARS now so any ambient noise (car alarms, for example) would not be working anymore. And even with that noise, sound carries much farther outside then it does inside. Logic would say that the hearing range would be like "8" outside and "5" if inside. But the reason I'm voting spam is that would be ALL this creates. SPAM. High level assholes who can find ammo easy....what else will they be doing, just for the hell of it.--Pesatyel 05:07, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
7. Spam - As Pestolence. --Haliman - Talk 15:24, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
8. Spam - As vote on the other suggestion which I can't be arsed copying over. -- Cheese 16:38, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Voting Rules

Current Suggestions Advice to Suggesters Adding options to your suggestion is not good practice. Others will not vote on the options, only the main body; please don't ask them to do so. Once you have posted your suggestion, it is considered complete. Altering the suggestion mechanics after voting has begun nullifies existing votes, and is considered an abuse of the suggestions system. Doing so will result in your suggestion being removed from the voting system to removed suggestions, where you can work out the details and resubmit later if you desire. It is preferred that you remove your own suggestion and resubmit a new version with changes, if changes are needed. "Notes" added for clarification purposes, and correcting spelling/typos are permitted. When considering adding a clarification note, it is often better for all parties involved, for the author to remove the suggestion and resubmit it with the clarification included for the voters who have already placed their votes. Advice to Voters You are voting on Suggestions, not Users. The text of your vote should not personally attack or denigrate the user who has submitted it... no matter how ridiculous the idea. Flaming and/or Trolling will not be tolerated. Before voting please read the Suggestions Dos and Do Nots and Frequently Suggested Ideas Page to read about concepts that have been generally considered unworkable in the past. You do not need to follow the guidelines on these pages but they are worth consideration before casting a vote. One vote per user. No exceptions. You cannot use multiple wiki accounts to vote on a suggestion. To Vote, use the [edit] button at the top of the voting section, then enter your vote in the the proper format to the end of the relevant section (keep/kill/spam). It is strongly recommended that voters (especially in the kill/spam sections) justify their vote to help others understand the reason they disagree. Feedback helps new suggesters get a feel for what the community does and does not want included in Urban Dead, and a deeper understanding of the balance needed for a workable suggestion. Votes must include a signature in order to be considered valid votes. To sign a vote, use --~~~~. Please remember to sign your votes! Unsigned votes will be deleted after 30 minutes or when found. Each Suggestion will be open to voting for two (2) weeks, measured from the suggestion's Timestamp, unless it is a Dupe or Spam. If, at the end of that time, there are two thirds (2/3) more Keep votes than Kill votes, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Reviewed Suggestions page. Otherwise, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Rejected Suggestions page.

Rules for Discussions Votes are NOT the place to discuss Suggestions. This page and archived suggestion pages only to be used for the Suggesting and subsequent Voting of these suggestions. If you wish to discuss the suggestion or vote here, please use this page's Talk page (Suggestion talk:20081224 Freedom to bare arms (and Shoot Wildly)). Suggestions do not have to be submitted in order to discuss them. Developing Suggestions can be used to workshop possible suggestions before they are submitted.

Valid Votes Keep, for Suggestions that you believe have merit. Kill, for Suggestions that you believe do not have merit. If you need to discuss a rule fix, use the discussion page. Spam, for the most ridiculous suggestions. Suggestions can be removed with Spam votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks. Spam votes are not a "strong kill", they are simply here to prevent the utterly ridiculous from clogging up the system. If you do not like the idea, and it's not some crazy uber power or something else ridiculous, VOTE KILL, NOT SPAM. Spam votes will be counted as Kill when votes are tallied. Dupe, for Suggestions that are exact or very close duplicates of previous suggestions. For a Dupe vote to be valid, a link must be provided to the original suggestion. Dupe votes can be used to remove suggestions as described on the cycling suggestions page. Dupe votes will not be counted when votes are tallied. Humourous, for suggestions that are obviously intended to be satirical, or of comedic value only.}} Suggestions can be removed with Humourous votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks.

Invalid Votes Server Load and Programming Complexity are NOT very good Kill reasons. You are voting on the merit of the suggestion and whether or not you think it belongs in the game. Server load/complexity issues are up to Kevan to decide. X should be implemented first is not a valid reason for a vote. You are voting on the merit of THIS suggestion, not how it compares to others. Votes that do not have reasoning behind them are invalid. You MUST justify your vote.

Comments Re may be used to comment on a vote. Only the original author and the person being REd can comment. Comments are restricted to a single comment per vote, and it is expected that Re comments be as short as possible. Reing every kill vote is considered abuse of the Re comment. A Re does not count as a vote, and any subsequent discussion not part of the Re comment should be held on the discussion page if there is any extended commenting. Note is used by System Operators to invalidate trolling-based votes. Only Sysops may remove troll-based votes and they do so with a strikeout <s></s> in order to preserve the trolling removal for posterity. The voter may contest the strikeout with the Sysop that struck their vote out on the discussion page. Only a System Operator may remove a strikeout.

All Caps Try to avoid YELLING, writing in bold, or using italics, except when emphasizing a point which has escaped other voters.
