This is a manual poll for the members of the PSC
This poll will run for 72 hours.
A simple majority of the membership is required to adopt the proposals.
The discussions can be found throughout the thread
here
Do you accept these revisions to the Standards and the method of rating a poll?
The proposal is divided into 3 parts
You may vote yes, no or abstain.
A.
I propose that we remove the following from the main body of standards and classify these as standards which must be achieved before the poll can be judged as 'good' for the reasons stated in the discussion thread.
1). Poll question should be posed in an unbiased manner
2). Poll options should be unbiased and easy to understand
3). Running time should be stated in first post of poll
B.
I also propose that the standards:
Participation requirement should be stated in first post of poll.
Poll should contain an "Abstain" option
are reworded for the reasons argued in the discussion thread to:
If there is a participation requirement, it should be stated in the first post of the poll and there should be an abstain option.
C.
I propose that we should use Shaitans points off system to score the polls for the reasons he stated.
Rating of poll.
If a poll fails to meet the mandatory criteria, it shall be deemed unfair.
If the poll meets only the mandatory criteria, it shall be deemed fair.
If the poll fulfils some of the additional standards standards (1-3) it shall be deemed fair and satisfactory
If the poll fulfils most of the additional standards (4-6, it shall be deemed fair and good.
