Once a proposal has been made, the period of time in which to vote on that proposal will be 4 days. If the proposal is altered, the number of days remaining returns to 4.
The time limit will be nil if all members finish voting on the proposal, thus, passing or rejecting the proposal.
PS - Until this matter is figured out, the administrator should decide wether or not voting has finished. This is a suggestion for a default rule, admin.

I think a better rule could be made to lock proposals if there is no activity for 5 days.
A whole different rule althogether would be something about debate time for the prop that's made by disgression of the proposer.
Hmm..
My vote for this prop is Nay.

i think this time limit is good to start with, and may become neccessary with increased rules and proposals to read through for strategic purposes. i vote for this one.

This is certainly the most important matter to start with, however I agree that the rule needs to be more specific with regards to its application. If all rules and proposals are going to be dealt with on this forum, we need to address the use of the forum features. I am not certain how the administrator plans on pulling out the rules for the active/inactive list, but that is his decision. This is how I envision this sytem working.
A proposal is posted in a _Discussion_ thread and after a period of time determined by the proposer, it is altered as needed and then posted in the _Voting_ thread. Players vote as replies in that thread and after a specified time period the topic is closed. Note however that discussion on the proposal could still continue.

Tieka,
This is how I envisioned doing at first, actually, but it never made it's way into the initial rules.
The active/inactive rules are run on a PHP program, don't worry about that.

Hello,
Is this prop withdrawn? The latest one addresses this and more and it will probably be passed.

Why isn't this prop still useful? We'll still have people who won't vote for some reason then we'd have to wait 10 days for their account to be deleted.

You shouldn't have to wait until all the members have voted, just 50.1% of them.
And I agree with Tieka's clarification.
Also, I think it should be 7 days, or 5 business days. And you should specify whether it's 7 (or 5) * 24 hours or until midnight 7 (or 5) days later in some time zone or what.

I created a new thread with a similar proposition. 10 days sounds like a more reasonable time due to the current defination of active player.

Ah, makes sense. I hadn't thought about that time period being the same, but yeah it seems good that way.

Wow, a proposer can make insignificant changes to keep a proposal up for vote indefinetly. At least if I understand "If the proposal is altered, the number of days remaining returns to 4." correctly. This makes no sense.

It makes plenty of sense, what's the problem? It's functionally equivalent to withdrawing your proposal and making a new one.
