My opinion, don't bash.

The idea is very simple:

Changes
 * Really major votes should take two weeks instead of one.

(My Opinion: Too much time, 1 week is better.)


 * Only users with more than one/two weeks on the wiki can vote on them.

(My Opinion: Already covered.)


 * Both sides need to present a reason to oppose and support, if they don't, they votes will be deleted.

(My Opinion: No way! Not everybody will present reasons to support/oppose! If this rule is added, I'll no longer present a reason as long the rule is in effect.)


 * Unanimous votes should be added.

(My Opinion: If you mean Unanonymous votes on polls, then that's impossible.)


 * Minor votes should not have a time limit and should stay until there's +10 votes in one side (Support or Oppose) than in the other.

(My Opinion: 1 day time limit is better.)


 * Relevant votes should use the same method as the minor votes, but the +10 could be extended if needed.

(My Opinion: Not needed.)

Why this?
 * Someone voting in a major vote just because they "want it" or "don't want it" is totally useless and bother people who are really trying to have a serious vote.

(My Opinion: What is worser than that is having to present a reason to have your vote to count.)


 * If a new user tries to vote on a really really important vote and just tries to support xir "new friends" that would totally bother others.

(My Opinion: That's why the Voting requirements exist in first place!)


 * If a vote is made to demote a staff who is abusing power, the vote will be really fast to be settled and there will be no time for the staff to abuse powers between the time gap of the one week.

(My Opinion: The 1 week time limit exists because WE need it in order to get enough votes.)


 * There are extremely minor votes who are just voted and left over for a entire week without any new comments or any new oppose, in the risk of being forgotten if no one cares for it much.

(My Opinion: Somebody has to remind the staff about these then!)


 * There's no actual need to a normal vote to be left a entire week open. I understand major votes does need one week or more, but most of the wiki votes are minor or neutral and would not bring anything bad to the wiki, it's pointless to be given a week for this.

(My Opinion: We need a week to vote, Instant voting would cause harm to the wiki.)


 * "All votes, unless wiki life or death, must take a week." This should be totally the opposite.

(My Opinion: No, it MUST take a week.)

Overall, the voting rules Bubble suggested are either harmful, Awful, or are already covered.
