Well, like, if they don't care themselves whether Cindy gets her CINDI'N'VIGO4EVEH thread, or they haven't made up their mind yet; but they think it's something that
ought to be voted on, just not by them. They're saying it's something they think the community really ought to seriously consider and think about. And if the abstentions are bigger than anything else, then it's the people saying it's somethign the community needs to think
more
about-- it's not ready for a vote yet, not with those options, at least.
In my mind. At the moment.
I'll vote ABSTAIN if I'm making the point, or stay mum if I'm leaving the stuff to others.
Maybe I'm missing something.
Say we require that, picking a number out of the air, at least a hundred Buffistas register
some sort of vote.
Rebecca's proposal to create a thread devoted solely to Alyson Hannigan has 60 yes-votes, 20 no-votes, and 10 abstentions.
Does she get her thread? No, because 100 people have not taken part.
Should she then round up ten people who don't care?
I was seriously thinking a quorum would be, like, 10 Buffistas.
I'm anti-quorum anyway, but I see a distinction between my responses to issues I may neither want to vote yay or nay on.
There are the people who have a separate id for Sang Sacre?
That's true but it's only about five or six separate IDs.
Should she then round up ten people who don't care?
In another 6 months/year, sure.
I don't blame Noah Webster! Well, maybe I do. But that wasn't me! That was my sister, with the amn'ts, and the shalln'ts, and the ice cream and the frog and the ten-year-old's overdeveloped sense of irony.
Quoraciosity.
I was seriously thinking a quorum would be, like, 10 Buffistas.
I wouldn't want to see it go higher than say 25.
Would every issue have the same quorum? That seems ... flat.
