Forum:Replacement of Admin Calua/Voting

This forum will be used to vote for the new admin. Before we begin, there are a few rules:


 * To be eligible to vote, you must have had an account for at least 3 months and have 300 edits. *New Rule: You must also have been active recently on the wiki.
 * "Active" is defined as having 10 edits in the past 30 days before this poll opened in any namespace.
 * You may also vote if you participated in the discussion or nominated someone in the previous section.
 * Each person may vote for only one candidate.
 * Candidates are not allowed to vote for themselves, but may still vote for others.
 * To vote, simply leave your signature under the name of the person you want.
 * Anyone who is ineligible to vote will have their vote removed.

In the past elections, there was a controversy regarding voter corruption, so I will make several clarifications about this now.


 * This is NOT a campaign.


 * Things you are NOT allowed to do:
 * Specifically ask any user to vote for any user.
 * Specifically ask any user to NOT vote for any user.
 * Specifically ask any user to remove their vote.
 * Make any kind of deal or exchange for a user's vote, change of vote, or removal of vote.
 * Create promotional material in favor of or against any candidate.
 * Advertise or promote a candidate on any page/article on the wiki outside this forum.
 * Use of the chat or any outside communication to violate any of these rules is also prohibited.
 * Do anything else that is in violation of the Poll Rules.


 * Things you ARE allowed to do:
 * Inform users of the election and ask them to vote without mentioning any candidates.
 * Make small declarations of "Vote for ___!" in chat, as long as they are addressed to large groups of people and not a small group (2-3) or a single voter.


 * These rules all apply to both candidates and voters.
 * Candidates who violate the rules will be disqualified from the election and have their votes removed. Users who voted for the candidate will be allowed to change their vote.
 * Voters who violate the rules will have their votes removed.


 * Any issues with these policies should be brought directly to the attention of the current Administrators.
 * These issues will be decided by only the current administrators.
 * There will be no discussion of these issues if the admins do not ask for it.
 * Once two admins agree to remove a voter/candidate, the vote will be removed. There will be no ties.

We're also trying the same thing we did last time: Allowing discussion in this forum about each candidate. We have avoided this in the past due to concerns of editors only discussing the negative qualities of candidates. We are going to try this out, however we will only allow posts that are about the positive qualities of candidates. If we find this does not work out the way we intend, the admins will not hesitate to delete the sections and possibly revoke the rights of any offending users.

For something new this time, we're also allowing the candidates to write up a short statement to describe their experience and what they would do with the opportunity to be an admin. This is optional, of course.

As a formality, candidates will be listed in alphabetical order, not in order of nomination.

And remember, keep it nice! 01:24, October 15, 2015 (UTC)

The poll will be open from October 15th 2015 at 00:00 UTC until October 22nd at 00:00 UTC.

REMINDER: ''In order to vote, you must have 10 edits in the past 30 days before the start date of this poll. Ineligible votes will be removed.''
