User blog:SpongeBot678/Proposal: Adopting the Featured content changes

Wait, what is this, two proposals in one day? Yes. You are correct. Okay lets get started.

Hello there, I am SpongeBot678. Now as most of you know the featured content is really out of date and hasn't been updated in forever. But most people don't know why. Well that is because in August I proposed we nominate featured content via blog posts and we vote using the classic support, neutral, and oppose method. Well we have yet to adopt this method despite the proposal passing. So I am proposing today we adopt these changes, and along with that make a policy for all this. These will be the new policies.

VII. Featured articles

 * 1) This is awarded to one article each month. This article will be featured on the main page along with an explanation on what the article contains and why it deserved to win.

Nomination process
 * 1) The nominator will create a blog post listing reasons the article should win.
 * 2) Everyone can vote support, neutral, or oppose on these nominations. Neutral votes however won't count.
 * 3) Nomination discussions expire after three months.
 * 4) On the last day of each month the next month's featured article will be determined based on the current article with the highest percentage at the time will be awarded "featured article" for the following month.
 * 5) If a nomination contains no content and stays that way for two hours then the nomination will be closed as invalid.
 * 6) If two articles both have the highest percentage then the administration will decide which article wins.

VII. Featured spin-offs

 * 1) This is awarded to one spin-off each month. This spin-off will be featured on the main page along with an explanation on what the spin-off is about and why it deserved to win.

Nomination process
 * 1) The nominator will create a blog post listing reasons the spin-off should win.
 * 2) Everyone can vote support, neutral, or oppose on these nominations. Neutral votes however won't count.
 * 3) Nomination discussions expire after three months.
 * 4) On the last day of each month the next month's featured spin-off will be determined based on the spin-off with the highest percentage at the time will be awarded "featured spin-off" for the following month.
 * 5) If a nomination contains no content and stays that way for two hours then the nomination will be closed as invalid.
 * 6) If two spin-offs both have the highest percentage then the administration will decide which spin-off wins.

Thanks for reading this proposal and happy voting!
