Users who do not meet the predetermined productivity level(s) will have their votes stricken from voting forums by the administration. Votes by any users who have fewer than 50 valid edits (as defined below) will NOT be counted. A blocked user's votes do not count on any active voting forum for the entire duration of the block.
