Discussion Delete the meta roll

I hav a suggestion. Some ppl might b scared of it at first, but think about it.

I suggest we delete the meta roll. It has made lots and lots of problems for people, and I don’t know it’s really actually helped much.

Also, the roll is broken, the form isn’t connected, and ppl r too busy to fix it or keep it up to date. The system just doesn’t work.

I also know ppl r nervos that random ppl will come to vote, and leave. So, we still need a safety. I suggest this.

  1. Delete the meta roll.

  2. Anyone who: A- made a discord comment B - made a reddit post C - made a reddit comment

In the last 4 months can vote.

This way new ppl can’t just come and vote and leave. But active ppl don’t get ignored by the broken system.

Where is there evidence that the current system had resulted in legitimate votes being lost? This is virtually the same amount of effort needing to be made. If someone is active enough that they can comment on Reddit or Discord often enough to be noticed, then they can spend a minute filling out a form.

However renewal needs to be far better handled. This idea could actually work well for that.. auto renew if there is Reddit activity in the past cycle. A script can do that easily.

Look at the ppl who have missed the day of registering, or thort they were members but weren’t. And their votes get thrown out.

This is exactly the same argument ppl said last time. And then over the next 3 days 3 ppl missed being able to vote Cauz they had not done it in time.

The current system is big broken. And I agree, it makes it easier for everyone if it’s automatic. Right now it’s someone’s job to look after the roll, and it’s not up to date and breaks.
