Forum:Movement to Remove Featured User

Good day, members of the CBW Voting Collective.

Over the course of recent months, we have come to observe record-low turnout in the Featured Content Voting Center, with Featured User in particular proving exceptionally difficult to find new candidates for. In the most recent vote, the Featured User was approved in a meager 2-1 vote. This is exceptionally poor in terms of voting activity (especially since we have more than 20 active users at the moment), but continues a concerning trend of voting fatigue following 5 votes in this category in November, 4 in October, and 5 in September.

Given the recent lack of interest in this particular category, a discussion has been undertaken by the site administration to modernize this aspect of the Voting Center, which we now address to you. Clearly recognizing a Featured User each month is no longer of interest to you guys and, with exceedingly few new users appearing to fill the void of departing figures, there is no influx of new activity to really substantiate Featured User nominations beyond the contenders in the category.

So, in consideration of this information, I open this forum up to the wider community and invite each of you to have your say on the topic: what shall become of the Featured User category? Shall we abolish it altogether? Temporarily? Permanently? Not at all? Redesign the template?

Please discuss.
