Forum:CT Archive/QOTD vote counting and timeouts

Wookieepedia &gt; Consensus track &gt; 

In response to the clutter that has struck WP:QOTD, I propose the following ruleset:
 * 1) Any quote to reach +10 votes is removed from QOTD and added to the queue.
 * 2) Any quote to reach -3 votes is removed unconditionally.
 * 3) If a quote's current score is between these values, calculate its "reasonable lifespan" as follows: 10 days + current score (that is, for a quote with -2 votes, it would be 8 days, and for a quote with +9 votes, it would be 19 days). If the actual lifespan (counted since the first vote) exceeds this value, it can be removed.
 * 4) If a quote has no votes at all (as opposed to a net score of zero), meaning the nominator didn't vote, it can be removed.
 * 5) IP votes are counted as half votes.
 * 6) "Strong" and "weak" qualifiers are disregarded, and such votes are counted as usual.
