1) Never have 20 people ended a vote in an hour. If you're referring to Nults McKagan's promotion request (which I know you can't stop whining about), Pistol messed up in accidentally setting the passing limit at 10 votes, rather than 20, which is why it was over so quickly (still not an hour).

2) We already have time limits on votes nonetheless, so I don't see what you are upset about or what your argument is.

3) At a time when both Pistol and Parax, our two burs, have tight schedules and are not always around to monitor voting statuses, votes with a set limit of votes are much more convenient for them and the community. For example, say a user has a vote to be promoted. The set time limit on it, in your idea of the wiki, is, say, 5 days. Within a day the side of support unanimously passes. However, said user cannot be promoted then; the wiki has to wait four more days before they can legally promote him/her. In a time when the wiki desperately needs admins, you can understand how this is inconvenient for us.

4) Not 5-8. We have 4 admins, though only 2 of them are considered "active". Saying an "admin majority" sways votes is simply not true.

5) Committee? What?

6) And yes, we do have a set numerical for people who come on this wiki daily. Check the wiki stats by clicking the six-digit number under "recent activity".

7) You're lucky enough that we let you vote. 90% of the wikis out there don't even allow users to vote on promotions or demotions. Yet you guys throw a tantrum at things like Nults's promotion. In fact, after that little display from the users, I specifically remember the admins saying they were considering taking away all voting rights altogether. Now we wouldn't want that, would we?

8) I think I've gotten my point across. That being said, I'm not going to reply any further to this post, because I see no point in continuing this argument and Tama did not write this blog as a debate blog. Thank you. Auf wiedersehen.
