^You got me convinced, Erica

The only thing I'm entirely convinced of is whether this poll & thread should be allowed to live. If this thread is discredited by the way the poll was made, wouldn't it be better to just shut it down and possibly move it to the graveyard?

Furthermore, I thought the question regarding the rules could need a little tweaking. There's only one rule which people seem divided about and it's the short nonsense posts rule. This is generally not enforced today, but would be under the suggested new policy, if it were allowed to stay. I've narrowed down the question so that it asks whether this rule should be kept or not (a new policy would require some fine-tuning of the rules either way, regardless of how people answered the old question, making the old question redundant).

So, here's an updated suggestion. I've baked in some suggested changes and added some of my own :


Poll : Which of these statements do you agree with? (not anonymous)

Options (multiple choice) :

1. The mod team should be bolstered with additional mods
2. The mod team should NOT be bolstered with additional mods
3. The rule against short nonsense posts should be kept
4. The rule against short nonsense posts should NOT be kept
5. The rules should apply equally to all, including moderators
6. The rules should NOT apply equally to all
7. General mod policy should be to react to every instance where a rule is broken
8. General mod policy should NOT be to react to every instance where a rule is broken
9. For punishment, there should be a general policy to use infractions
10. For punishment, there should NOT be a general policy to use infractions
11. Rules should apply equally to all forums
12. Rules should NOT apply equally to all forums (ex. The Lounge forum less strict)
13. A new moderation policy should have a trial run first (ex. 1 - 2 months)
14. A new moderation policy should NOT have a trial run first

Duration : 2 weeks

So .. did I forget anything?
