What happened to my Proposal (should not have expired yet)

My proposal in the WA (a resolution to ban slavery) had disappeared this morning, all other proposals set to expire this day are still up, it seems to be the only one gone....I am quite disappointed in this as it was the leading proposal in approvals. Thanks

They may have expired at different times because the proposals were submitted at different times.

Negative, the remaining proposals were submitted before mine

No mod deleted your proposal (it's not in the automated mod logs) so it must have been removed by the normal WA process when time expired.

So then the game does not notify you of anything that happens with your proposal?

if it's deleted by the length of time, no.

I submitted a proposal, and was tracking the support like crazy on the last day for that reason. TG time ^_^

Well, I can't comment on technical constraints, but it would be pretty neat to have updates on a proposal's progress.

Let me make a suggestion to address this situation. In the Voting Ends section of each proposal, add the time in addition to the date to show the exact time (GMT is a good time zone) when the voting actually ends. It can really help iron out most of the confusion.

I think that voting ends as part of the Update, which is spread over several hours, so unless proposals are always checked for remaining time at the very start of that process very day it might not be possible to predict exactly when they'll expire...

Correct, which is why we won't be implementing that suggestion.
