Procedures

Nominators, nominees, and voters should follow the following procedures while the proceedings are active.

  1. Halopedians are encouraged to vote in support or against the nomination.
    1. Voting may commence only after the nominee accepts the nomination, if the nominee does.
    2. Voters must have at least 50 edits to Halopedia, and have been active one month before submission of the RfA. Sockpuppets and Bots will not be allowed, and upon the discrimination of the current administration, sockpuppet votes, if present, will be identified, and their votes rendered null. Sockpuppet masters, if found, will be subject to punishment for violating Halopedia's sockpuppet policy.
  2. The RfA will be open for at least 2 weeks while users submit their input. It may be closed prematurely by a request by the nominee at any time.
  3. The nominee is fully encouraged, though not required, to publicly respond to any criticisms to allow differences to be sorted out.
  4. The final result of the voting will determine the next step.
    1. If there are few/no "against" votes which raise significant questions about the user's character or history, the RfA will pass after a 2 week period, provided there is at least a 70% support ratio.
    2. If there are multiple unresolved issues with the user's character or history, the RfA will continue for longer until the questions are either satisfiably resolved, or an overwhelming majority of users still support the RfA.
    3. In voting RfAs, the rule Halopedia is not a democracy applies. This means discussion will carry more weight than simple voting majorities.
    4. Traditionally, the "current administrators" are the final deciders of the vote, although community input is also greatly weighted.
