Voting:Level 5's and Up/Voting Procedure - Passed

Well since I think it will be largely forgotten otherwise and since I'm sure the issue will pop up again at a later date, I thought I would take the initiative and put up a vote to decide how we want to deal with demotion votes for Bureaucrats. The idea of only having admins vote for such demotions raised some objection during the recent demotion of Ghost and several members of the administration duly pointed out that there had been no complaint about this prior to his demotion. With that said, I think how we vote on such matters is something we should take another look at so that is why I am initiating this vote. I am proposing three choices: first choice is to stick with admins only, second choice is to make it the full admin team (rollbacks and above), and the final choice is to open voting to all level 5s and above.

Allow Level 5s and up to vote on User Rights (+1, -1)

 * 1) CHOOSE THIS ONE! If it's for the good of the wiki the WIKI needs to decide as well :) 17:53, February 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Although I sympathise with Level 5's, Level's outside of rb, admins and bcrats is unheard of on most wiki's, that was a creation set on this wiki, and has since been copied by other rpg wiki's for the sake of role play. The problem is, waiting for Level 5's and up to come to a majority vote, would take weeks or possibly months, so in order for a change like this to ever be reasonable, we'd have to go a lot further than just changing who can vote, and how exactly a vote is passed, because as it is, with rb's and up voting, I've seen it take upwards of 2 months, to get a majority vote from just 18 users, we have upwards of 60 or more semi-active level 5 users, it would be chaos, so for now I have to stick with only voting for allowing Rb's and up to vote for all things involving user rights.

You can't be specific to Bcrat demotions and just demotions, if we are going to change the system, it should be demotions for all users with power, and also needs to extend to voting to give user rights as well as take user rights away.

Ok, so Wind changed ot to user rights in general, and I just want to follow up with, the reason why a bcrat or admins demotion was initially only for admins and up to vote for is because to acquire an admin or bcrat position it has always been that only admins and up can vote, so it wouldn't have made sense for rb's to be able to vote for an admin or bcrat's demotion, but not to give them user rights. By changing the wording to encompassing, all user right's in general, that means rb's and up will be able to vote for all user rights, whether it be giving or stripping power.
