Ban RfC votes with no writing
Should we ban RfC votes that look like this?

The reason why I would like to see RfC votes banned like the examples above is that they are just a waste of time and voters should give their reason for voting.
If this passes the following punishment for breaking my proposed rule should be:
- 1st offence: A warning
- 2nd offence: A second (and final) warning
- 3rd offence: A one-day ban
- 4th offence: A one-week ban
So is my new proposed RfC voting rule a good idea? (Talk to Me!) 15:56, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose While some reasoning for a vote would be helpful, sometimes people may not be able to describe their exact reason or the reasons that they have for voting have been said by everyone else. Imo I don't think we should force people to give reasonings for their votes if they don't want to. HibiscusCrown20 (talk) 16:01, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose Per Hibiscus. (not gonna lie I found Cattot's opposal pretty funny, as it is literally ironizing this RfC even more) VPJHuk (talk) 16:31, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- I apologize for what I'm about to because it's against the spirit of what this RfC is proposing, but I shall not let an opportunity go wasted as it was my vote anyway, so here goes:
- Oppose banning people because they don't know how to voice their opinions is too much. Logohub (talk) 16:53, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose This is fine the way it is. IAmThe789Guy (talk) 17:07, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Sometimes there isn't anything that a user would like to add because it has already been said by another user. Luke2505 (talk) 17:04, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- On well, I thought this was a good idea. It look's like a SNOW closure then. (Talk to Me!) 17:41, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose Alright, imagine this scenario. Someone is voting, yet the person isn’t constructive on elaborating against the topic, or they may have enough common knowledge as to why they oppose, and they simply put up the template without any additional comments. And then this thing passes. The editor is now forced to put reasoning even though it’s pretty clear (or they probably struggle). What I’m saying here is it’s not reasonable to force people into explaining why they support/oppose. I hope that has helped you reconsider. Thanks in advance.
