the remaining problem regarding voting, what to do with votes by users banned onwiki. Inclusion and exclusion both seem to carry benefits and disadvantages. exclusion might lead to sysop vandalism and obviously want to avoid that
(http://pingdom.com and http://uptimerobot.com both sent an email alert about the server outage as was to be expected...) |

There was an server outage in noon EET approx 1:50-2:05 in duration. Contacted the hosting people about it as the server wasn't responding to http or ssh and they replied it's in the works and little later services were restored. Both http://pingdom.com and http://uptimerobot.com both sent an email alert but no SMS was received as promised by the pingdom.com freebie account with it's free 20 SMS alerts. As I suggested to them they should send a "Welcome to pingdom.com SMS alert." to the newly registered so that it would be explicit that the SMS alerts are now configured in such a configuration that they work when they are supposed to. | There was an server outage in noon EET approx 1:50-2:05 in duration.

There is still one problem with the [[voting]] plans.. what to do with votes of accounts bannhammered onwiki? One instinct would say to cancel them all. Another would say that would lead to abuse of power. One aspect is that it'd actually interesting to '''calculate the results of only banned users''' but maybe still exclude them from the main counting. But excluding votes by banned onwiki users would lead easily to [[sysop vandalism]]. | |||
