:They are removed 6 months after the original nomination.  The oppose isn't really necessary, as people can still leave negative comments explaining why they didn't support it.  If a guide is nominated as a collaboration in good faith, I see no reason why it shouldn't be allowed nomination indefinately (and I don't really see it becoming a problem since we leave it up for 6 months). If this page starts getting more voters, and more nominations, we can always switch to weekly collabs, or a faster cleanup time.  -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 19:19, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

::They're only removed after six months if the net voting is at zero. If we removed the oppose section, they would all be at least at a one, so it would take twelve months. The problem I see with indefinite nominations is that at some point the support of it is no longer valid, as interest has waned and some or all supporters may not even be around anymore. If that's of no concern, we'd get as much value out of picking any guide on the site at random for collaboration of the month. — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 19:43, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

:::I'm saying we remove them after 6 months irrespective of votes. I do agree that 6 months is probably too long but it keeps at least a few guides on the list. We need more people nominating and voting, and as traffic grows it will automatically grow.  It used to be a much bigger problem earlier on, which is why we had oppose as well (not enough supports to distinguish).  -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 21:20, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
