Yandere Simulator Wiki:Councils/COA

This page documents all votes by the Council of Administration. The dates listed are for when the voting phase ended, not when the meeting ended.

COA meetings are split into several phases, Phase 1 & 2 both contain votes. Votes from each phase are marked here.

If a vote used a star "*", a pound sign is used to avoid conflicts with the outcome.

If the Head Helper voiced an opinion in a vote, a +H is added to the side they agreed with. This +H has no weight, though and is only for record keeping.

Votes are grouped by support, oppose, abstained, & absent.

Cross-Affiliation Blocks
On the 1st & 15th of each month, the Head Bureaucrat or Head Admin must consult affiliated wiki's for any blocked users that were blocked for a serious reason.

When consulting with the staff of those wikis, the Head Bureaucrat or Head Admin will also give names of users from this wiki. Staff on this wiki will keep track of serious users on Yandere Simulator Wiki:BlockList.

Before the Head Bureaucrat or Head Admin issue blocks, they will look over the users activity on that wiki to ensure they met the requirements to be blocked here.

Blocks that were issued and have a lot of nuance will be ignored by this wiki.
