Not a big fan tbh. From the voter side, it doesn’t really do much - unless you’re not planning to vote for the next seven days’ worth of proposals, this earns you nothing, and for that reason I doubt that many would use it. From the quorum side there’s a couple of problem - not least of which being that you can vote ABSTAIN, then switch votes, while the quorum stays at its lower rate - but I’d probably vote against even if that was fixed as this just seems like a solution in search of a problem.

I don’t really see the point.

I’d rather simply abstain than vote :ABSTAIN:.  Who cares if I’m keeping the Quorum up?

Utter apathy here.

Per Hix. I didn’t vote on DC’s list of stuff proposal, only because I really didn’t feel like reading all of it atm, and I’ll prob do it again down the line.

At least put in some option to unvote. Empty blue checkbox on the unresolved proposals is perfect icon for this.

Maybe consider a proposal “hammered” the instant the quorum is reached to prevent this?

@yabbaguy: You could always just vote DEFERENTIAL.

What if you don’t /want/ to defer?

Why wouldn’t you want to defer?

Seems inelegant to have both ABSTAIN (“count my vote as whatever the majority thinks”) and DEFERENTIAL (“count my vote as whatever the Emperor thinks”). And if we only had one, the second would be more useful.

Same reason as Hix

Hm, you convinced me to a vote, which would mean, that I am imperial self kill my proposal. So I vote :ABSTAIN: :D

Seriously: S/K

The precedent is that a vote cannot cause a self-kill.
