A referendum is a process for users to be able to implement new rules on the SoyBooru.

Introduced by Cobblestone, it allows the userbase to submit and vote for rules changes on the SoyBooru which jannies will then have to follow. In order for a referendum to pass it has to achieve 100 or more votes, with a 75% super-majority, and adds, removes, or amends a properly formatted rule.

Proper referendum formatting

Referendums must be formatted as the example below to be considered valid:

Rule 17: No commenting or posting past midnight:

• Commenting between 2 AM - 4 AM UTC -> Delete -> 1 day -> 3 days -> 1 week -> 1 month -> Permanent
• Posting between 2 AM - 4 AM UTC -> Permanent
• Exception: Commenting or posting between 2:45 AM - 2:50 AM -> Do nothing

Referendum rules

• NO retroactive rule applications (i.e a new ban won't let you delete old posts, or ban someone for something they did before the rule)
• Referendums MUST be anonymous
• After a poll reaches 100 votes, it is closed and tallied 24 hours later
• Polls must NOT have expiry times
• If a poll fails, it has a 2 week cooldown period before it can be recreated
• If a referendum is edited after being opened, it is disqualified
