To be honest I didn't expect the vote to end so fast especially with
the notice "Voting will go on for a minimum of 48 hours." in the vote

If this was expressed as a duration of 24 hours and expressed as an
emergency (I know it was implied, but for some rules are rules), I
think we would have been fine with that -- but the vote did say 48
hours.On Fri, Sep 28, 2018 at 11:35 PM Shazron <[email protected]>
