In our platform, we promised to hold a series of referendums to split some forums. The first referendum I would like to hold is splitting referendums and petitions off the Steps. There are different ways we could run this hypothetical sub-forum. Here is my idea:
However, maybe we would want to restrict to it just admins' referendums and for just binding referendums where the admins would be required (unless Catspaw objects) to do what won in the poll.
I would also like ideas for what to name the new sub-forum, because I don't have any good ones.
This isn't the referendum itself, but an informal discussion about exactly what referendum we will have.
I want to have simple yes/no official poll to keep from splitting the vote, and make it clear what the board wants. This is why I am having a informal discussion, instead of having a complex multiple choice referendum.
So what do you guys think? Do you like the first idea, or do you prefer the second one? Is a week too long to keep the poll open for, or not long enough?
