Gar, I don't think we have ruled out anything. Katie was just pointing out that people might feel the vote was confusing.

I do like the idea of the preference system in principle, but I'm not sure why it would be applicable here. I was under the impression that things would be proposed, then discussed, and then there'd be a proposition and we'd vote either yes or no (or abstain, if we decide to go that way.) Where, other than thread names, would we have multiple choices? (Well, and if we decide to do multiple choice for quorum size, but we don't even know yet if that passed, so there's really no point in deciding now how to have a vote that we don't know if we're going to have.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like the idea of cagematches, but groin strikes should be illegal.

Okay here's how I see it.
1.) Idea proposed.
2.) Idea discussed.
3.) Idea put on ballot.
4.) If 10 or more people show up to vote the balloting is considered valid.
5.) If more than half of the voting voters vote for it, it passes.
6.) If more than half of the voting voters vote against it, it goes into the idea underground for six months.
The end.

That is how I see it too.
I think for that to happen, we have to ALWAYS frame voting questions into yes/no. Which I don't know is possible.

Can you think of an example where it wouldn't be possible? I can't think of anything we've decided recently that was more than a "should we do this?" question.
