We cannot put up with these attempts at gaming

mindlessly on both sides and voting without even considering the issues
is absurd. We need to deal with this problem. We need to modify our
policy so that it IS a blockable offense to vote-stack and game the system.
Way way way to subjective. RFC and arbcom would probably be a better option.
That would take weeks, and by then the vote-stackers have long gotten
away with it. And I don't think vote-stacking is too subjective. If
you see someone recruiting votes, deal with them. It's pretty simple.
As an update to the situation, the two users I blocked have been
unblocked, but hopefully they are not going to keep on vote-stacking.
Meanwhile, a third user has already started vote-stacking the DRV so I
blocked him ... I imagine the same admin is going to revert me on that
too, though. This is getting ridiculous. Our very system of how we
make decisions is under attack and I'm trying to do something about it
and meeting resistance.
