<small>(edit conflict x4)</small> '''Mostly support''' While I agree 4 months is rather strong at best, I feel that a block-related limit of some sort should still be in place. We don't want people coming off a block from a month ago, having not improved at all but not doing anything block-worthy, and starting an RfA. With a block-based rule, it could be closed by anyone as against the rules; without one, it would have to stick around a bit longer before it's decided it should be closed quickly.

:Maybe if RfAs were made frequently where having a rule to invalidate such RfAs would actually help the workload of bureaucrats, I could see such a rule being helpful. However, RfAs are so rare nowadays (after Anon's failed RfA in July 2010, it took over a year before another user, SmashPeter, attempted to make one, and there have been two RfAs total in the past year, by users who had no chance), such a rule doesn't have practical use. | |||
:Also, as done by the Wiki in the past, in the case of no chance users who have unanimous opposition, nonbureaucrats have been allowed to close them anyway (most recently with McAusten's RfA, which I myself closed). <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 20:28, 22 January 2012 (EST) | |||
