Name: rally3
Suggestion(s): Enforce (or at least encourage) use of voting formats
Why would it be useful: It would make applications more appealing to read, and make members put some effort into voting. It would also make Army as a more "professional" faction if a proper template is used.
Additional comments: I've taken some time to create one type of template, with variations for a possible/neutral/negative vote. I'll go one by one for each scenario, first inserting the "raw" code in a spoiler, and then provide with a complete example.

Positive

Raw code below:
Spoiler: show
Example below:

Neutral

Raw code below:

Example below:

Negative

Raw code below:

Example below:

Please note that I have taken some inspiration from SWAT's template (only natural since I am a part of said faction) so you are obviously more than welcome to create a different format and use that instead.

Looking forward to hearing some input and hopefully get a variation of this included in Army!

It is good how it is now, we are free to express our opinions through votes like how we feel. Making a template and forcing the members to follow it doesn't feels good to me.

Anyways, you are free to express what you want as well, it's just a neater and more professional/aesthetic way.

Encourage, yeah sure. Forcing to use templates, no.
I'd rather stick with my own templates:

I will go with + 1
looks nice and organized in my opinion looks better than the regular voting method and I always admired the way swat members vote and now we would have a voting template like they do.

What I ment is that some people (just some) actually use templates instead of typing it out with plain text.
For some bit more fancy templates, I'd say yes but there should be a bit of freedom in this and allowing people to use their own created templates.

This is why I offered a possible 'fancier" template. I'm not saying this should be what gets encouraged to be used, but just giving a general idea. Of course people should be allowed to make it an ordered list, table, put pictures, etc. But I do think that some sort of format should be enforced, but it would allow for "customization".

It seems we're on the same page though

Sorry but every member may choose which template to vote with and it's all up to the personal preference. We won't force anyone to use strict templates but rather leave it to members' own will. Thank you for the suggestion and effort you made, appreciated.
