AVID:Requests for Comment/Screen ALL future RfCs

Screen ALL future RfCs
Lately, I've noticed an influx of under-thought, half-baked Requests for Comment, to the point of the RfC landing page being clogged with heavily opposed RfCs. I'm proposing that a system to screen RfCs be implemented in order to keep proposals to a certain standard of quality. I have two possible options in mind, which will be outlined below.

Send all RfCs to a staff screening queue
This proposal would be similar to the Moderator extension, where any RfCs are sent to a queue where AVID staff will discuss the pros and cons of such a proposal, and whether there has been enough thought put into it.

Oppose

 * 1) Absolutely not. There could be censorship behind this process, which given that there is no publicly available general criterion that users can reference if they believe that rejection has been made in bad-faith. -- Cheers, Bukkit (talk • contribs • global • rights) 04:53, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * 2) As Bukkit pointed out, censorship could be behind this process. That's not good for me (or the site), so for that reason, I'm out. (I have no idea on the third proposal, and I think the second proposal is the best out of the three.) User:AUnnamedDragon 9:50 AM, May 21, 2023 (CET)


 * An understandable concern. I can assure you, having worked with AVID staff for a while, that we would not work to censor our users. Given your position on the matter, I encourage you to consider the second proposal provided here. Eternity Media Group Wordmark.png (Lets chat!) 07:14, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

Implement an RfC draft system
This would be similar to the RfC draft system at meta.miraheze.org.

Support

 * 1) I'm vouching for this one. I think this would ensure the right RFCs that will get approved   Logohub   (talk) 07:20, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * 2) as proposer for this option. Eternity Media Group Wordmark.png (Lets chat!) 07:40, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * , we seriously NEEDED this for a long time. It took several months from when this first got proposed on Discord to when it finally showed up on an RfC. I bet this feature is going to be a lifesaver for many people on the Staff to screen those half-baked RfCs some have been putting out ever since its introduction. Why haven't we got started on this sooner? Compooper (talk) 11:01, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) per others. T807sig.png · Talk · Edits 12:47, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * 2) Great for rush hour! Ashley Taylor ft. Cure Finale (soulbond) and Raboot (pet) (talk) 13:46, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

A Hybrid System
As proposed by Raidarr on the Discord server, this idea would see what is primarily a draft system, with a to be determined amount of time in draftspace, alongside the requirement of 2 members of site staff signing off on the proposal before it appears on the RfC landing page.
