Wiktionary talk:Votes/pl-2016-11/Voting limits

Personally, I think I'd be happy to be able to create more than 5 votes per week, but I intend to vote support on this proposal to cater to people who prefer to impose a limit on the number of votes created. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 08:35, 4 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Actually, I'm striking out my comment above. As the vote may be further edited and discussed, I'm not sure I can promise right now that I would support any options and proposals. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 21:25, 14 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

The current wording seems a little awkward. How about something like:

"A user cannot create more than one vote in the span of 7 days. (For example, if someone creates a vote on December 9, then they must wait until at least December 16 before creating another one.)" Andrew Sheedy (talk) 17:41, 4 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Looks good to me. I'm using your version now, except the word "user", which I don't like very much. (it could be just me) --Daniel Carrero (talk) 17:51, 4 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

"User" looks strange now that I look at it, so it's not just you. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 23:45, 4 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

@User:Daniel Carrero: Why did you withdraw this? --Dan Polansky (talk) 12:49, 12 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Dan Polansky: Sorry, should this vote go on? I withdrew this because in Wiktionary:Beer parlour/2016/November#Wiktionary:Votes/pl-2016-11/One vote per week, it was pointed out to me: "In neither of those discussions do I see any indication that anyone would support a one-vote-per-week limit." --Daniel Carrero (talk) 15:44, 12 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

I see. I think the vote should proceed. We shall see if anyone supports this limit. In these discussions, I do not see anyone necessarily opposing one-vote-per-week-per-person limit. In a vote, the positions will necessarily become clearer. --Dan Polansky (talk) 17:31, 12 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

I see. Your comment may be of interest of @Wikitiki89. Maybe we shouldn't vote on this right now. I'm thinking we could wait at least one more month before re-starting this vote. Let's see if anyone else has more suggestions or objections first. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 21:04, 14 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

I mean: @Wikitiki89. I made a mistake in the ping above, which I already fixed. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 21:04, 14 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

I'm not against having this vote, I just think that we should demonstrate some support for it in the BP before voting on it, otherwise it just wastes people's time. --WikiTiki89 21:20, 14 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Ok, I understand. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 21:24, 14 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Actually, I just want to remove the rule "No topic should have a new vote more than once a day (24 hr period)." for reasons that are already in the rationale of this withdrawn vote.

I'm thinking of splitting the vote into two proposals: Proposal 1: Just remove the 24-hour rule. Proposal 2: Add the 1-week rule.

--Daniel Carrero (talk) 21:22, 14 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

As I said above, voting on the one-week rule would just be a waste of time if we don't have any evidence that anyone will support it. --WikiTiki89 21:24, 14 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Just removing the 24 hour rule is a good proposal, IMHO. The rule does not do anything meaningful or useful. A two-proposal vote seems to be a good idea; some people could support the one-week rule, after all. --Dan Polansky (talk) 18:07, 16 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Wikitiki89, Dan Polansky: I edited and restored the vote. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 13:14, 13 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
