Proposal: Fixing unanimous ambiguity

Timed out and passed, 6-5. Yuri gains 10 points. Josh

If the word “unanimously” exists in the rule Points, then replace it with “with no votes against”.

As unanimous can mean either “with no against votes”, or “with only for votes”

COV:  against The rule says “passes unanimously”; if the proposal has all against votes then it doesn’t pass. Also, I don’t want you get 10 points for passing this needless proposal.

against CoV. Good point, I may as well vote the same as on the proposal this is fixing - either they both fail or both pass.

Josh: unanimous can be interpreted as either “with all FOR votes” or “with no AGAINST votes”. This proposal clears up ambiguity with DEF “votes” of abstention.
