RationalWiki talk:RationalMedia Foundation/Voter registration/Archive1

Announcement
This could really use an announcement-- "Shut up, Brx." 02:03, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Will there be early voting ? Or will that open it up to libbural fraud from unregistered voters and give us a result we do/don't want. Naca (talk) 06:09, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * The voting will start on January 15. And this is Foundation business, so keep the B-grade topical humor out of it, please.   07:46, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah Foundation business isn't even of the level of toilet jokes. -  π    23:47, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
 * But seriously, will this be on the message log?-- "Shut up, Brx." 13:55, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes. When we are near the time, it will be. Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 13:57, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

I vote RNS for King of Rational-Wiki
Because we need someone with a sense of humor in charge; Rat-Wiki just isn't Rat-Wiki with out it's parody and humor (and this is coming from a good-faith Conservapedian, a site which you all think has no sense of humor). DMorris, on the EIP Network 1 855 282 2882 15:53, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * But... you don't vote for kings! Sophie  Wilder  09:40, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
 * That's what the Egyptians thought and look where that got them!--Bob"I thought this was supposed to be "Rational" Wiki?." 10:49, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

What's this, a new voter ID law?
Can I bring in ACORN to do a voter registration drive? Secret Squirrel (talk) 05:27, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
 * If you will recall, we had a deal of fraud at the last moderator election, mostly Nx voting with half-a-dozen-odd socks. This is an attempt to prevent such a thing from happening again. 05:37, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I do remember that... Secret Squirrel (talk) 05:52, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Is there a specific rule that says one cannot vote with socks, or is the rule more that you cannot get caught doing so?  --DamoHi 06:40, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd imagine that if a sock is caught then its vote is discounted. At least this way known socks can get removed before voting starts. If socks can vote then I'll dig out all my previous/alternate/sock/lulzyusername accounts. Sophie  Wilder  13:14, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, the point it that we are going to be looking for and weeding out sock votes. Moreover, should someone decide to attempt to vote with a sock, the Board of Trustees (not the moderators) plans to level heavy sanctions against any user caught doing so. Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 13:17, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * In that case I'd better use them all to vote for myself as dictator of RW for life and throw the board and moderators into the dungeon. Sophie  Wilder  13:21, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Its a good thing none of you have figured out whose sock I am yet. Otherwise I would be down to only 1 vote.  DamoHi 23:42, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

@Cracker
The more common the format and the less cluttered the list is, the easier it can be regexed. So, let's add all our witty remarks to this talk-page. --larron (talk) 21:10, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Verifying your email
If I'm not mistaken, I qualify to be a voter. I've been on the site since May this year (it is now August) and I've done a shit ton of pretty kewl edits. So, how to verify my email thang? Thanks in advance. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 00:24, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Click on Preferences at the top of the page, where all the links to your userpages and contributions are. In the first tab (User profile), there's a section called Email options.  Enter your preferred email address, then click the Save button at the bottom.  A confirmation email should be sent to your email.  Open the email and click confirm (I think.  It's been years since I've confirmed my email address.  Hopefully I'm right about that last part.).   00:40, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks - it seems my memory has slipped me as well. I already have my e-mail set up since I joined. I'll just add myself to the list of voters, then. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 01:46, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

When will I be eligible
I have an email here, more than 72 edits, reg 02:04, May 5, 2015 (didn't really edit until July). I want to join the Bandwagon. Oh right down south in the land of traitors, rattle snakes and alligators! Where cotton&#39;s king and men are chattles! Union boys will win the battles! (talk) 09:26, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The stupid way to test: put your name on the rolls, wait a couple days, and then hit up Special:Preferences and see if it lists you as belonging to the group eligible users. But yeah if you've confirmed your email everything else would look to be in order unless I'm dumbening again. 09:52, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually, "eligible users" is given automatically to people with 75+edits & 3+months. 02:55, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Any chance we could have a user list page of eligible users here? It would have people on it who are eligible to vote in the mod elections but who haven't registered for Board elections. How to create such a page is beyond my wiki understanding. Actually, I'll add this to a suggestions page somewhere. SolPyre (talk) 18:52, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Wait, by the date?
"by the" is pretty ambiguous. 21:03, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
 * RWians will probably be fine with a little fudging if it helps anyone to vote. 21:31, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I'll be so voting I'll vote thrice! 22:12, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
