See the last thread for outcome of the first poll and for a description of how voting works.
60% of users have voted for some kind of persistent VPN ban and the purpose of this runoff poll is to determine how that should be implemented. We have limited the voting options to the 3 that had the most votes from those in favour of a persistent ban.
If a VPN ban is put in place we will:
- Create exceptions for sensitive/legally risky threads (e.g. ex-muslim thread, TERF/anti-trans threads)
- Create a way for users in countries that block lolcow.farm (e.g. Russia, China) to bypass the ban- Monitor the health of the site and consider removing the ban if it is detrimental to it
Threads on boards that are not subject to a VPN ban may have a thread-specific ban implemented if they have a problem with ban evaders or being raided by scrotes.
The poll will automatically close in one week on the 26th of March and the option with the most votes will be implemented ASAP.
