I think disabling requests for three weeks following a "win" is a bit much given how few of us there are making requests at the moment. Maybe later if the requests start climbing. For now, I think a one week cooldown is more logical. That's still a maximum of two "wins" per month. Just a suggestion. (The only reason I didn't put up a request was that I was pretty sure mine would win this week, so didn't want to needlessly put up a moot request.) --[[User:Elerneron|Elerneron]] ([[User talk:Elerneron|talk]]) 11:15, 28 June 2021 (UTC) | I think disabling requests for three weeks following a "win" is a bit much given how few of us there are making requests at the moment.

I think disabling requests for three weeks following a "win" is a bit much given how few of us there are making requests at the moment. Maybe later if the requests start climbing. For now, I think a one week cooldown is more logical. That's still a maximum of two "wins" per month. Just a suggestion. (The only reason I didn't put up a request was that I was pretty sure mine would win this week, so didn't want to needlessly put up a moot request.) --Elerneron (talk) 11:15, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
Also, would a list of general wishes be handy...you know non sexual things. I have had all kinds of non-sexual wishes that I have quietly made over the years that might help pad the polls for you if you want. --Elerneron (talk) 11:16, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
