And why are you making such a big deal over an obvious rule that has been there for 5-6 months? Would you rather have it so anyone could create a vote, purposely have it ignored for 6 days, on the 7th day highlight it and get 10 support, and then have it pass with little to no opposes? That would create a huge problem.

1) You probably should if you're now going to being denying forums a pass after they've been open for a week.

2) I'm making a big deal because I (and I know others feel the same) don't think and never did (especially based on your own actions) that "a forum must be open for one week" translated over to "A forum must be highlighted for one week".

3) You also know I pointed out I could make a forum and keep it unhighlighted for as long as I wanted, slowly gaining support and, when I have such a large amount of support that even if someone opposed it wouldn't matter, only highlighting it when it had reached that number of supports. I could also pretty much keep a forum up as long as I wanted. Besides, there are so many forums that aren't highlighted, it's a joke to need them to be highlighted.

4) Again, you're not answering my question: If these two meanings were always synonymou to each other, why have you closed forums that only ran for 1-2 weeks but were never highlighted?
