No.

No it does not, atleast to me Qwaz. I grew up with the idea that you put the bigger number first, as long as you state what the meaning is.

That, and don’t tell the other admins how to post lol. We’re not sheep

If it;s understood, it really doesn’t matter…

Thank you Wak. I have never heard of any vote, here or in RL where if something was voted down it went lower number-bigger number.

If you object to how something is formatted, make a proposal so that we can get a consensus on it - don’t just tell people that they have to agree with you. (I don’t really mind how things are formatted so long as they’re clear from context, but find the “FOR-AGA-DEF” markup confusing, as it can easily be read as “FOR-DEF-AGA”.)

I didn’t think it was even contentious, until recently every Proposal I’d ever seen adminned was in FOR-AGAINST-DEF format. If we want to do it the other way, fine; just so long as it’s uniform.

Why does it have to be uniform? The larger number is the outcome by definition; mandating a format seems astoundingly pointless.

I thought it was intuitive but ppl do it different ways.

Josh, just to play devil’s advocate, since the largest number is, as you point out, obviously the outcome, using the format of For-Against-Def makes no LESS sense than arbitrarily deciding that the largest number must go first.

It seems odd to start playing devil’s advocate when both proposals have been voted down ^_^

Nevertheless, if all options are equally sensible, then mandating one over all others is not an optimal outcome.
