Adding the ability to veto proposals

This was brought up in a Roost discussion a couple months ago, so I thought I'd expand on it and propose it here. The idea is that a Bureaucrat would be able to veto a proposal that does not follow the rules listed on this page (e.g. not fleshed out, not a binary choice, not a big enough change), is made in bad faith, or has no realistic chance of passing. A vetoed proposal would be removed immediately rather than when the voting period ends, and moved to the Archives as a failed proposal (bad-faith proposals would not be added to the Archives). When moving a vetoed proposal to the Archives, the Bureaucrat who vetoed it should leave a comment on the proposal explaining to the proposer why it was vetoed. ~ AlexBot2004 (Talk) 12:33, November 30, 2023 (EST)

 Support per my comments in the Roost discussion linked above. In addition to the examples mentioned, I do think that proposals relating to how the staff operate should also be vetoed (but disallowing them would mean creating a new rule, so that's probably more suitable in a separate discussion).

 Support Good idea for filtering proposals. Although, is there going to be a Bureaucrat available for every bad idea?Briky 03:02, January 6, 2024 (EST)
