A 0 vote rule

If they post something below or above the <-DO NOT blah blah blah-> when it tells them not to, make it a 0 count. I'm sick of it. Who can't read that? If you're blind, you can't find this place, let alone vote.--MegaTron1XD  22:18, 14 November 2010 (EST)

If things continue to be bad after a few rounds of the half-vote rule, then I'll consider it. Toomai Glittershine   23:46, 14 November 2010 (EST)

A 1/2 vote rule

I like Mega's idea somewhat, but feel a 0 vote is a little too harsh. Perhaps we can make a rule, just like his guidelines, but instead it will count as half a vote.-Ivy73  20:56, 16 November 2010 (EST)

Umm, Ivy, can you read? That's happening NEXT round and I'm aware of that :/--MegaTron1XD  21:05, 16 November 2010 (EST)

Sorry. I guess that's what Toomai said. Why do I always make an *** out of myself? -Ivy73  21:09, 16 November 2010 (EST)

Half vote section?

What are you talking about?--MegaTron1XD  18:50, 19 November 2010 (EST)

The first time a vote has to be made into a half-vote, a section labelled "Half-Votes" will be added to the coloured block in the same way as the Anonymous Votes sections in old fights (have a look at the first few archive pages). Toomai Glittershine   18:56, 19 November 2010 (EST)

Change?

Can we change our vote? I didn't, nor do I want to, but I'm just wondering. --Landfish7 21:41, 21 November 2010 (EST)

People have changed their votes before (I think); there's nothing wrong with it. Toomai Glittershine   22:34, 21 November 2010 (EST)

Irritation

Do people just not respect votes that break rules, or is there an invisible consensus going around that an hour of a fix period is too long? Toomai Glittershine   09:44, 12 December 2010 (EST)

I gave about a half hour for Zero to fix it, and when that time came, I noticed he wasn't online anymore, so I moved it to the half vote section without having to wait another half hour when the user in question was likely to not show back up. And my intuition proved correct as I have not seen him since.
As for the length of time, a half hour to an hour is good enough. After a half hour has passed, and the user in question isn't online, I think it's alright to move the vote to the half vote section, as them leaving after misplacing their vote shows they really didn't care about it.
So overall, I don't think an hour is too long to wait, but a half hour should be enough time for someone to fix their vote if they really care to do so. Omega Tyrant   09:55, 12 December 2010 (EST)
