This is exactly why a time limit should be issued. A demotion or promotion or idc, some request goes for voting.

This time limit for EX: A promotion request has been approved by admins for 'User:ImAwesome&uNot,and it is now up to the community to vote. This vote however does not have a vote limit (such as 20 votes for it to pass) but a time limit of let's say 7 days'.

Well for that vote it would make more sense. Instead of "first-thought" voting which as been exhibited upon a few promotion requests where 20 people have voted to pass it within like a hour. Now a hour is hardly enough time for a vote to be known to the entire community. But because of the "20 votes to pass" nonsense, it is somehow valid.

You instead remove the "20 votes to pass" thing... and let as many votes be brought in within a reasonable amount of time such as 7 days (7 days should be plenty of time for those who do not attend to, edit, or use the wiki every single moment of their pathetic and miserable life :D) to give time for others to come and vote and of course let opinions and conversation flow and circulate throughout this thing we call "cyberspace". One user can sway the words of many if they have a good reason the User in question should or should not be promoted, demoted, unbanned, banned, whatever floats your boat. Thus opinion and discussion is nessesary for voting for that we can read everyone's thoughts (to see if they are content or against the vote)  through their comments about the vote.

'Get rid of the vote limit. Give us the time limit! '
