The access issues for Metaforo have been resolved. Community members are welcome to check and cast their votes. If you encounter any further issues, please feel free to reach out.
During the slow issue, metaforo is still possible to access and vote, after refreshing a few times. For that reason, I would lean towards maintaining the current situation.
Of course, this is purely my personal opinion, and any decision lies beyond my responsibilities as a coordinator. Perhaps the community could consider initiating a vote on this.
I tried refreshing the page several times with 2 devices under wifi and cellular network, but was unable to visit it, so I’m not sure whether the issue is region-specific.
However, the fact remains that my friend was unable to vote against the proposal.

I understand that this is a personal opinion, would the team of DAO or someone/team share their opinion? a more official one. thank you.
Regardless of whether I like the current voting implementation or not, we—the community—and this operator/manager cannot allow ourselves to be swayed by claims such as “I wanted to vote, but it didn’t work.” There are at least a thousand reasons why individuals might not be able to vote at a given time.
If there is evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that there were voting implementation issues—such as technical glitches—when a vote took place, then a re-vote should not be ruled out. Otherwise, those responsible for technology and infrastructure could manipulate the election results.
In this case, there were several independent reports of problems. It’s a decision made on a case-by-case basis.
In my opinion, the Metaforo issue was quite annoying, and resulted in delayed loading times. In the long term, we’ll need an alternative solution. However, based on the amount of time those proposals were up for consideration in both phase 1 and 2, there was a large window of opportunity for people to raise questions or concerns, or for more people to express that they wanted to vote but couldn’t.
With that clarified, I would appreciate if my request in the other thread could be addressed. If we value the importance of encouraging and retaining developers, as you have pointed out in the past, then I believe giving constructive feedback on proposals and giving developers an opportunity to respond is a necessary part of that.
