The rule was NEVER that the vote ended after 3 days of creation, it was that votes ended 3 days without anybody voting!! By that rule, votes could easily go on for weeks before they finally ended. The new rule of votes ending 5 days after they're created already sped up the process tremendously. I probably worded it wrong. Wasn't the rule the same thing, but added 2 days? I may have misinterpreted it as "Votes end after 5 days since the last vote"......... If this thread is based off of a misinterpretation,............ It started out as after three days of nobody voting, the vote would end. So a vote could have been going for three weeks without ending if people kept voting every single day. However, once three days after the last person voted and nobody else did for that time, the vote would end. By the new rule votes always end five days after they were started, regardless of when the last person voted, which kept votes from going on too long. I agree that we have an issue with staff members forgetting to close votes, but only three days to vote seems a little short to me. This thread isn't invalid though, it just needs to be reworded a bit so it makes sense.
