Quoting private musings <thepmaccount(a)gmail.com>om>:
And one to file in the 'it's unlikely anyone
will read this far' box - does
anyone think that banned users should be able to !vote in things like the
Arb elections?
No, The vast majority of banned users are headaches enough without
letting them
vote in ArbCom elections. We already see people voting oppose to arbitrators
who were involved in proposals against non-banned people. We don't need to
further encourage that sort of thing. I find that unfortunate because I
suspect
that your votes would be interesting in this election (and more selfishly I
suspect you might vote for me) but exceptions cannot be made for this sort of
thing.
