Because why the hell not? What the hell happened to the past 'requirement' of giving actual reasons for any kind of vote in CTs from last year? Probably the same thing that happened to anti-corruption (not being allowed to kick/ban people out of no reason regardless if it was a joke) policies from last year. The only exception I can see to this lack of proper reasoning, or atleat proper explanation for that reasoning, is Nomar's text.

I'm fairly sure that the concept of Consensus Threads being more than simple polls, and instead actual discussions in which the ideas and opinions of the community could be brought in, was introduced sometime after the previous government of this wiki left in January. But no, what happens instead is a bland poll in which people can give the absurdest reasons for a vote - hell, I could probably just give "Donut" as a reason for a support or oppose vote and it'd be fully okay and miraculously ignored by the policy-writers unless my decision somehow goes against the campaign or 'fan'base of a sysop, as seen multiple times with Spey.
