User blog:Squidnerd/Voter ID Act

Two incidents of controversial voting have happened recently.

On Travis' bureaucratic promotion request, a bloc of SpongeBobia users, who haven't edited in months, voted oppose, and formed a large enough opposition that it dropped the support percentage from a high of 88% to a failing-low of 48%. This is an absolute mockery of our voting system.

On Travis' proposal to make any demotion request against him invalid, after I stated that it was a legitimate proposal and voting was split half support/half oppose, a bloc of users, making their first edits, voted support, and dramatically increased the level of support. This is an absolute mockery of our voting system.

Voting Requirements

 * A user must have edited at least ten times. After 10 edits, a user will be given voting rights to any proposal. A first edit being a vote is quite suspicious.
 * A user must have edited at least once in the previous three months. Users who came out of the blue should not be forming a decisive vote, as we have seen with random SpongeBobia users. Exceptions include locally/globally blocked users who have completed their sentence.

Conclusion
This proposal will be retroactively applied to all proposals that have been voted on three months (August 9) before this proposal passes. Proposals that have been voted on by user who haven't met the requirements, will have their votes and the proposal's consequential results overturned.

Voting will end on November 9. Support, Neutral, or Oppose.
