User blog comment:David McMartin Son Of Sparrow/OFFICAL NAME POLLING/@comment-3984166-20140920030301/@comment-3112181-20140920035047

As Al pointed out, the number of actual users in our community (let alone those who care) is very minimal, and does not warrant a week's time to get this routine process out of the way. Truth is, we have been patient but it shouldn't be taking this long. It's been a month and a half since the votes passed, and this is the first sign of any progress. I understand David's dilemma and I realise these things need to be certain. However, I feel the suggestions we have are sufficient and very much certain – at least enough so for a vote. Deadlines can be moved up.

I propose a compromise. Let's end the name submission on 21 September at midnight eastern time (07.00 my time). At that same time a second blog is opened containing the vote with the first five names. A basic poll should NOT be used for this. Polls are easily manipulated as any wikia account can vote once (meaning people can log out, vote as a wikia contributor, log back in as another account, vote again, etc). Therefore, it should be a vote expressed in the comments. In the first tier of voting (five submitted names) each user that meets the voting requirements may submit two votes (whether both votes are used on the same submitted name or two different ones is up to the voter). On midnight of the third day  the moon crashes into the Earth we close the blog, and the two submitted names with the lowest number of votes are eliminated. The blog is then updated with the three remaining submitted names are presented. Again, users are given two votes and we run through the process again. Three days later, the submitted name with the lowest number of votes of the three is eliminated, and it is down to the final two. This time, users get one vote, and after three more days the name of the wiki is decided.

But seriously. We need to speed things along. There's no excuse for this stalling. I suggest this method of voting. It gives us ample time to decide but also gets it done quickly and fairly. #FrenchStyle
