My admittedly vague memory was that the vote over "No Preference" was instigated by proposals being passed because they reached the 42 vote quorum, but the majority of those votes were No Preference, so it would pass with 6 Yes votes or some such.
None of it means a damn thing.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My understanding is that anything that goes to a vote falls under the 6 month moratorium.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I think we should go with this, but we should note that the cheesebutt document says "There is currently a moratorium in place on re-proposing proposals which have already been discussed and voted down.", so we should theoretically change that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My understanding was that if it doesn't go to a vote, there's no moratorium.

No, that never happened. Every vote we had up to that point would have reached quorum even if the NP's were ignored, although a couple of the "downballot" questions might not have. There was a concern that your scenario *could* happen, but it never did.

Sophia, can you repost your text with what of the suggestions you think are relevant and useful so that Jon can turn it into a page?
