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.
Big ol' wrod.
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.
Should she then round up ten people who don't care?
In another 6 months/year, sure.
Sorry to be dim, but I don't get that.
OK the principle is the same, just divided by ten.
Six yes-votes, two no-votes, one abstention = 9 voters = no Aly thread for Lizard.
But if she gets one more person to show up and say "hell, I don't care, it's all the same to me" then she gets a thread?
She doesn't need more yes-votes, she doesn't want more no-votes, but by calling on the apathy vote, she gets her way?
