Board Thread:General Discussion & Requests/@comment-33046846-20170401143053

(First off, two highlighted threads in one day? Wow...)

Anyway, I don't really like the way the UOTM voting works. When there's a poll, you can only vote on a few users. Besides, some of the users on the poll have barely any edits. So, I am making a proposal to change the way we vote on UOTM.

This is kind of what it would like: Movie Ideas Wiki:Movie of the Month. There is a page where you can create a page to nominate a user. On the nomination pages, you can vote on it using the different types of votes - Support, Neutral, and Oppose. I have created these templates before. Also, I know that's a movie of the month page, but I mean it will have the same format, meaning user will replace movie and there will be different (or no) requirements.

This is how it would work:

Rules

 * a. Requirements
 * The user must have at least 50 edits.
 * b. Nomination process
 * Anyone can nominate a user for User of the Month.
 * Everyone can contribute to the discussion and show their support or opposition for the nomination.
 * Nomination discussions expire after 3 months. After this, a user can be renominated.
 * On the last day of each month, the next month's User of the Month will be determined based on the following formula: (Number of Supports) - (Number of Opposed) = Nomination Rating. The current use with the highest nomination rating at the time will become the User of the Month for the following month.
 * c. Other rules
 * A user can not nominate themself or vote for themself. If they do, they will be disqualified for 3 months.
 * A user can't use multiple accounts to vote. This will be considered voter fraud and the consequences will be the same as the above rule.
 * The user that nominated the user can vote on the discussion.

If this proposal passes, I will import the content from that MOTM page to this wiki (and replace MOTM with UOTM on this wiki, or course). This discussion will last for a week and it will end on April 8th, 2017.
