Screen ALL future RfCs

Lately, I've noticed an influx of under-thought, half-baked Requests for Comment, to the point of the RfC landing page being clogged with heavily opposed RfCs. I'm proposing that a system to screen RfCs be implemented in order to keep proposals to a certain standard of quality. I have two possible options in mind, which will be outlined below.

Send all RfCs to a staff screening queue

This proposal would be similar to the Moderator extension, where any RfCs are sent to a queue where AVID staff will discuss the pros and cons of such a proposal, and whether there has been enough thought put into it.

Oppose Absolutely not. There could be censorship behind this process, which given that there is no publicly available general criterion that users can reference if they believe that rejection has been made in bad-faith. -- Cheers, Bukkit (talkcontribsglobalrights) 04:53, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

An understandable concern. I can assure you, having worked with AVID staff for a while, that we would not work to censor our users. Given your position on the matter, I encourage you to consider the second proposal provided here. (Lets chat!) 07:14, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

Implement an RfC draft system

This would be similar to the RfC draft system at meta.miraheze.org.

Support

  1. Support I'm vouching for this one. I think this would ensure the right RFCs that will get approved Logohub (talk) 07:20, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
