This page is for Petitions, a successor to the "Ideas for GFE" threads.
Policies[]
- A. General
- 1. Petitions are a way for any user to bring up an idea/suggestion/complaint before any discussion phase.
- 2. This prevents certain unpopular/unnecessary topics from being discussed in an official format.
- 3. This allows all ideas/suggestions to be discussed in their own space and outside of chat meetings.
- B. Process
- 1. Ask a bureaucrat if they would endorse something to go straight to discussion before creating a petition. This would allow skipping the petition process if necessary.
- 2. A page will be created for all petitions to be added and listed.
- 3. Any user can start a petition.
- 4. Once the petition receives three (3) endorsements from the community, the petition can go to an official discussion.
- 5. Petitions automatically expire after six (6) months. Afterward, a user can recreate an expired petition if they wish.
- 6. If a petition receives at least ten (10) opposes and no supports after one (1) week, the petition may be closed.
