Forum:A Few Main Page Changes

The title of this forum says it all. So:

It's nice and all that we have the whole Featured User thing, but I'm kind of questioning the layout of it at the moment. I rather shoot for a more professional layout for it, because we are indeed a wiki, not a playground. I'm not saying the questions or responses are bad, it's everything else. The intro is probably okay, but I think it could be a bit less silly. After the poll where users and anons vote for the next featured user is my problem. No one really answers the question of the month anyways, and we already have a poll, don't we? Why not remove it completely? If we do end up keeping it, I honestly think Kagimizu should be more neutral and remove his signature, remove the "ANSWER OR ELSE!!!" bit, and even remove the "get back to editing" part. It'd honestly look much better if we ended the Featured User section with the next FU Poll, so I suggest removing the question of the month.

I also think we should remove the candidates for deletion section on the main page. Only administrators can delete articles anyways, and there is not very many times when we "discuss" deleting articles, and when we do, users who are active find them one way or another. I doubt anyone has found that link of too much use, and it can probably be removed. There might be a counter-argument for this one, as I have just recently thought of it and I'm probably missing something about that being there.

I'd also kind of like to open up a suggestions for polls idea for the Poll's talk page. Voting won't be necessary on it, I already know most of the polls that have already been done, and I can look through the history myself to see which one's have been done (and repeating one from a while ago isn't that big of a deal), it's unnecessary, yes, but we could get some interesting ideas out of it, and to be honest, my ides aren't the best in the world, either. Below the poll we can do something similar to the featured article where we say "Suggest a Poll", and I can cross out the ones that have been done, and I can cross out the ones chosen each week. Not necessary, but something to consider.

I know it has been suggested before, but maybe~ we should consider moving the Site Discussions up one spot, I don't know what was decided before, but I'm not sure. I'm not even sure on this myself, so we'll see, I just threw this one in here because it popped into my head as I was writing this up. --
