Bleach Wiki:Voting

The Bleach Wiki offers its users the opportunity to vote on a number of features, namely the Featured Article, Picture and Quote of the Month which appear on the Main Page. The following rules govern the process of voting on these features, and any other votes that may be taken.

How to vote:


 * Vote by typing either of the following in the relevant sections:

Rules of Voting:
 * Only one vote per user. If a user casts more than one vote, all of their votes will be moved to the "Deleted Votes" section by an Admin. The user will be notified about this by an Admin and will be invited to cast a new vote.
 * All votes must be signed. A user will be given until the end of voting deadline to sign their vote, otherwise it will be deleted.
 * A user may change his/her vote or stated reasons at any time until the end of voting deadline, so long as they do not post multiple votes.
 * Votes cast after the voting period has expired will not be counted.
 * Users may not change the content of another users comments without their permission. It is what they wrote, and it is up to them to resolve any mistakes (except in the cases listed below).
 * Mentioning any information from an unreleased chapter or episode is a violation of the Spoiler Policy. DO NOT DO IT. Any user may remove a spoiler from such a vote. The vote is also liable to deletion by an Admin.
 * Inappropriate statements or language may be removed by any user, and the entire vote may also be deleted by an Admin.
 * Further guidelines and rules for each vote undertaken are set out on their respective pages and must be adhered to.

Counting procedure:
 * All late, unsigned and multiple votes will be removed before counting begins.
 * All signed votes are counted, and whichever candidate has the most votes wins, naturally.
 * In the event of a tie, the winner will be decided by a vote of the Admins to allow a speedy resolution.

Failure to follow the rules:
 * Each instance of breaking the voting rules will result in the user being given a warning.
 * Three warnings will result in a two week block of the users account.
 * If the user's account is blocked a second time, it will be for three months.
 * Further offences may result in an indefinite blocking of the account.

Genuine mistakes and not signing votes may be overlooked at the discretion of an Admin. Further information on the blocking of accounts can be found in our Blocking Policy.
