ESB Bylaws - Voting

I am proposing that we simplify all general voting policies under one section.

Article IV. Voting

 * A. All users of ESB are entitled to vote on all matters as long as one (1) week has passed since their first edit.
 * B. A consensus is reached if 70% or more of those are in support of a matter.
 * C. Any user that is blocked will have their vote void if they are still blocked at the point in which the discussion is closed.
 * '''D. Any user removing votes from their own promotion request or user of the month nomination will have their entire request or nomination invalidated. The is then prohibited from making such a request for any position for thirty (30) days and ineligible for such a nomination for six (6) months.
 * E. A user cannot vote on their own promotion request or their own user rights reviews. They are, however, allowed to comment, ask, and answer questions.

Here is the voting policies under promotions, of which I have moved, reworded, and merged into the above voting policy.

Article IX. Promotions

 * 4. Voting
 * a. All users are welcome to participate in promotion discussions, as long as one (1) week has passed since their first edit.
 * b. Any user who participates in such a discussion and is subsequently blocked, their vote will not count if they are still blocked at the point in which the request is closed.
 * c. Any requestee or nominee editing or removing votes from such a discussion will have their entire request or nomination invalidated and they are prohibited from making such a request for any position for thirty (30) days.

Here is the voting policies under the discussions policy, of which I have also moved, reworded, and merged into the above voting policy.

Article XIII: Discussions

 * B. Participation and voting
 * 1. All users are welcome to participate and vote in discussions.
 * 2. Any user who participates in such a discussion and is subsequently blocked, their vote will not count if they are still blocked at the point in which the discussion is closed.
 * 3. The only exception is if a discussion involves a user rights review of a particular user, the user in question does not have a vote. They are, however, allowed to comment, ask, and answer questions.
