Forum:UotM Voting

User of the Month (UotM)
There has been a discussion over the last few days on IRC about the way the UotM is picked. First it is my understanding that a voter cannot vote "oppose". In my mind that is totally wrong. Users need to be able to vote the way they see fit and express their opinion. Also The UotM Nominee should be made to garner "X" amount of votes to be passed. Currently there is a UotM Nominee that will be awarded the honor by default because no one can oppose his nomination. This user is the only nomination standing right now, has only been on the wiki just over two weeks and has 2 votes. The whole UotM process needs to be re-thought out as clearly the current system does not work. Thoughts? Proposals? Solutions?  Talk 19:39, October 29, 2010 (UTC)
