Club Penguin Wiki:Vote Page

The Wiki's Vote Page is made to hold all kinds of votes.

---

When a vote is held, you will be allowed to sign your username, using four tildes ~~~~

---

Each vote will be published in this way:

==<Vote name> (0)==
:Suggested by <your name> and confirmed by <administrator name>
===For (0)===
===Against (0)===
===Comments===

Nominee Notice: After being nominated, you can enter reasons on why you should be nominated next to the "nomination sentence". A vote closes when 14 days is up. The vote difference is calculated by the number of votes "for" subtracted by the number "against". The user option with the most vote differences wins.

Voter Notice: You must vote in either "For" or "Against". If you vote in for, you have to sign underneath the "For" heading. To do this you have to type this in:
#~~~~

After you have signed it, you must change the number in the brackets up by 1. (e.g if it was at 3, it means 3 people have already signed it. Change it to 4 when you sign it.) This is also the same with the number by their name. If you vote for, you must also increase the number beside his or her name by 1.

Please remember to use "#" instead of the usual "*", because it numbers the votes making it easier to count them.

You can also remove your vote. If in any case you change your mind, do not remove your vote completely, just strike it out and move it to the back of the list.

Please create votes under this line:

• This reformed infobox will discontinue the redundant parameters and instead display only the key facts we need. There's no point in having really long infoboxes or infoboxes which give quick links to sections. That is the Table of Contents' job. Remember: a concise infobox is a good infobox. Simply large infoboxes like the one we have on Gary is drawing away from the purpose of an infobox. We have standards. I don't really have to explain any further. But if anyone wants to question it, I'll be happy to answer here.

Demotion Policy (+4)

Suggested by Wolf-gangs

I recently made a changes to the Demotion Policy. I think is quite strict, so I believe making it less strict is required. The changes won't be taken into consideration, until the community approves it.

The time limit for...

• Chat Moderators - 3 week (including chat time) limit only.
• Rollbacks - 3 weeks limit only.
• Patrollers - 3 weeks limit only.
• Administrators - 1 month limit only.

• The changes are quite justifiable. While this change basically helps everyone out really; there is little need to really change it. One question, do Bureaucrats get the same time as Administrators if the change goes through? --Roger6881 (talk) 12:44, July 23, 2014 (UTC)
  • Not justifiable. How can it "basically help everyone out really"? That makes no sense. Be prepared to explain your bold statements.

• I'm in favor of extending the time limits. However, what about other rights such as bots and interface editors? Shouldn't they have time limits as well? --Hey.youcp 21:02, July 22, 2014 (UTC)
  • True
    ~ Perapin (Contact)
    05:12, July 23, 2014 (UTC)
  • About bots, the current limit is 2 months, which is really long actually. As for interface editor, Miron is currently the only user in the wiki with this privilege, and as he's also a patroller, as for now a discussion about an inactivity, if ever happened, could possibly also give us an idea of what criteria should be added to this group. Penguin-Pal (talk) 09:28, July 23, 2014 (UTC)
• Have some users been paid to vote For lately? I can't believe how many people support this! NO NO NO NO! They are not justifiable AT ALL. It is CLEARLY OBVIOUS that we need to be stricter with the time limits. Chat moderators are supposed to be active as much as possible. Their role is to moderate the chat! They can't moderate the chat if they're not there. So, chat moderators should be demoted if they're inactive for over 1 week for an unjustified or unknown reason. We simply cannot allow users with user rights to feel "safer" with being more inactive. The same goes with rollbacks and patrollers. How are they supposed to catch up with patrolling the wiki to maintain the standards of our wiki's pages if they feel like it's okay to take a break for an extra week playing silly video games? They could be inactive for a whole week, do little edits in the week they're supposed to be active, and repeat this pattern so they don't get demoted. That's stupid! Also, why the 1 month limit on admins and bureaucrats? They are the most important users on our wiki and help keep this wiki in order. We cannot allow inactive admins who edit once in a month so they don't get demoted. In conclusion, in order to ensure that this wiki is running in good standard, we have to be strict with the time limits, otherwise users with these user rights will feel it's safe to just put off helping the wiki. We need users to stay active, and keeping the time limits strict helps to enforce their perpetuate a consistent activity.

  • People voted for this because it is their opinions, Pin, just like how you voted against. However, the thing that does not impress me with your statement is the fact that no one wants the wiki to be strict. This wiki needs to be a happy and jolly place, a one week limit is way too short. Have you ever heard of the fact that some people cannot access the internet? Some people have exams? Some people just don't have time for a while? These things are things that users cannot control nor stop, so this is why the demotion policy needs to be less strict. TheNintendoKingTheNintendoKing (talk) 15:35, July 23, 2014 (UTC)
    • CPPerapin makes a good point. I don't know why I voted "for." The suggested time limits are way too lazy. (To put it into perspective, a chat moderator could only get on chat once in every 3 weeks and still keep his or her rights.) We're already having problems with there not being enough room for active users to be promoted. Lately, some users were arguing that we should not promote a user to rollback for the reason that we already have too many, despite the user being deserving of the right. While they may seem strict as they are, the time limits should be kept low to be fair to users who are more active and deserve those rights. The Demotion Policy is even lenient and allows exceptions for users who have schoolwork, exams, are sick, injured, etc. I think we should keep the current time limits. --Hey.youcp 17:46, July 23, 2014 (UTC)
      • Yeah, I agree with both of you. What is the use of someone having a user right if they're just going to be active every 3 weeks, and they are just manipulating the policy, without a valid excuse for their inactivity? Kallie Jo (talk) 18:08, July 23, 2014 (UTC)
• Good Idea :) -- Let's; Start; The; Music! 13:16, July 23, 2014 (UTC)

Personal Images (-7)

Suggested by Wolf-gangs

I think that we should allow users to upload images of themselves, if the user is not a COPPA. Since we are part of wikia, most other wiki allow that, which means we will have to punish users that simply just pass by from other wikis. I think that if the user is found to be COPPA, he/she will simply get blocked. Wolf-gangs (talk) 19:45, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

• There have been quite a few times in chat where a user has come from another wiki and had to be asked to change his or her avatar for this reason. While I strongly recommend users to never upload images of themselves, I don't think we should block them because of it. I agree that users should be allowed to do this. --Hey.youcp 21:02, July 22, 2014 (UTC)
• Don't come complaining to me when a user gets bullied for their appearance or if the avatar the user has gets plagiarized and used on a magazine article without the user's permission. It has happened before back in my day. Do you want it to happen to a friend, or you, that has a picture of him/herself as their avatar? No, we must simply not abide to this.

• An avatar is one thing, but allowing people to share and upload their images to the wiki itself is different. To be honsest, if people are willing to share their images, they can always link their account to their facebook/twitter page (available on their profile masthead). Penguin-Pal (talk) 09:28, July 23, 2014 (UTC)
• As I said, we are part of Wikia, in which all wikis are allowed to add images of themselves, as part of their avatars. We have no right to stop them, since that means we have to punish most of Wikians who just pass by our wiki. If we were independent, it would have been a whole different story though. Wolf-gangs (talk) 12:33, July 23, 2014 (UTC)
• I'll respect anyone by the appearance, and I am all for freedom - but having someone show their face - or their family members face is to much of a risk. The COPPA yes or COPPA no system is extremely unreliable - we do not know if someone is 13+ or they are not simply by their appearance. Like Penguin-Pal said, if they want to show their face, they have social media websites. --Roger6881 (talk) 12:51, July 23, 2014 (UTC)
• It is not safe and its risky - Let's; Start; The; Music! 13:12, July 23, 2014 (UTC)
• Although, by Club Penguin Wiki Policy, I do not meet the requirements to vote, I believe it should be the user's choice whether or not they upload a picture of themselves. It's a rule that is difficult to enforce, and by the policy, some Wikia staff members should be blocked from this wiki. I strongly suggest that the 8 against the policy change reconsider. --AnonymousDuckLink and Postman 14:33, July 23, 2014 (UTC)
• Club Penguin, which is the game this wiki is based on, do not allow personal info. So I see no point of us allowing it either. TheNintendoKingTheNintendoKing (talk) 19:33, July 23, 2014 (UTC)

Relation Policy (+11)

Suggested by Wolf-gangs

The Relation Treaty is simply not required anymore. The Fanon is simply dead now, and this treaty has been done way back during the old era. I believe this is no longer required and we must delete it. Wolf-gangs (talk) 20:00, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

Ban/Block length (+1)

Suggested by Wolf-gangs

In some policy pages, we did set some ban/block length for every situation. I think that chat moderators and admins have the right to ban for length they believe is reasonable and suitable for that user. Though we can make it as a guide book for chat moderators or move it to any other page, but I believe it shouldn't really be in the policy pages. I believe the consequence must be explained briefly without specific ban/block lengths. Wolf-gangs (talk) 23:30, July 23, 2014 (UTC)

• Not a good idea at all. Chat moderators have always had the right to ban for the reason they believe is reasonable, hence the note, "The block/ban timing may vary according to the administrator/chat moderator decision, but these are the just the most suitable block/ban times to use". Though removing the suitable block/ban times on the Chat Policy will result in bias in moderators. There have been times where moderators take things far too strictly, such as Super Miron trying to ban me for 2 weeks, Jackninja5 trying to ban someone for 6 months, and moderators making the common mistake of not giving proof that their ban is justified, which eventually causes in another moderator unbanning the user banned unfairly. Removing this from the Policy page would result in more freedom for the moderators. We don't want moderators to be biased. If you went to a restaurant, would you want to have your meal served with less than you wanted because a particular chef tending to undervalue the portion, while other chefs value the portion reasonably on the plate? The same thing applies for moderators, we want standardization, and no bias. We're not going to have one moderator banning for 2 weeks for constant disruption while another moderator bans for 1 hour for the same thing, when they both know the user well. That's just unfair. What I do find chat moderators handle well is kicking. A user who spams deliberately when they know the Policy can be kicked straight away, no warning needed. I like chat moderators that actually know the users on the chat. The ban/block times, however, I feel is not what mods/admins handle to a great extent, and removing the suggested ban/block times from the Chat Policy would ruin this further. And moving to my last point... bollocks to guide books if we don't get to read it before we vote for it. I vote against.
