if voting is approved, will everything need to go to formal vote?
The ballot lists things that would be exceptions, including blocking obvious trolls and thread naming.

On the subject of abstension votes, I think we should include more specific options for people who aren't firmly yays or nays.
1) emphatically yes; 2) yes; 3) eh; 4) no; 5) no fuckin' way; 6) abstain; 7) don't give a rat's ass; 8) monkey; 9) what the hell's a quorum? 10) LOL
Please check all that apply.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Monkey stuffers.
Tangentially, but on the topic of poor ballot design, I discovered that my company gave out a culture satisfaction test (easy on the yoghurt jokes, folks) where you could rate statements about the company from 1 to 5. 5 was "strongly agree" and 1 was "slightly agree".
There's representation for you.

if I were coming in to vote now, I'd be more tempted to vote against further voting than I would have been yesterday.
You read my mind. Plus it would kind of make me want to go back and change my vote.

Our wings are not tired.
So you managed to put another 150 posts here while I did away from computer stuff! Do I need to threadsuck the whole thing, or can someone summarize what we are deciding.
As the Palm Beach County Florida Buffista I declare myself resident expert on poor ballot design.

A long discussion about different methods of voting (borda, Australian, Condorcet) which made people want not to vote anymore.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Don't get me started on the university's class rating system. Every single question is a superlative like "I had a strong desire to take this course" and "I learned a substantial amount of material" and "class discussion was by far the best part of this course, in fact, it was the best part of my day" and "I think this professor loves me and would like to have a million of my babies and name them all after me" and you can strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree or be neutral.
