Well, the use case a friend of mine described was using the **voting plugin** , where each topic in the voting is a long and complex proposal.

Everyone can submit a proposal (by creating a topic in the category with the plugin enabled) and vote for a month.

Having “contest mode”, during this month, would help with the bandwagon effect.

After one month, everything is reverted to normal, and the winners and votes are public, as usual.

PS: If this was not clear by the category, this is a proposal for a feature inside the voting plugin.
