Methods of voting in new members

  • Our current method of voting in new members has proven to be broken in many ways.
    • Few people vote, or should for that matter, because they don't come to the shop often enough to meet much less get to know potential new members.
      • Possible Solution:
        • Voting should be a count of Nays more so than Yays. Nays must express reason for voting as such.
          • This will eliminate the problem of having to wait 72 hours or whatever for people unable or unwilling to come to the meetings to vote. --strages 10:15, 26 June 2009 (CDT)
