Remember my first attempt to imprison or kill Tiberias?  Well, remember Tiberias’ votes?  The ones that made the town meeting be a 2.7 mb page?  Well, that kind of voting ends here!

Add the following text to the rule titled Voting:

Votes that have more than 2 voting icons in them are not allowed.

against This is entirely unnecessary.

And unenforceable.

Bad idea, on top of that it’s vaguely worded enough that one could argue that it does nothing.

against Would do nothing to stop someone adding a billion two-vote comments to a proposal. Or just 2.7Mb of “la la la”, to discourage other people from voting.

Any case where spamming had an effect would quickly be reversed by a CfJ or proposal; any victory achieved by excessive and abusive spamming would get disapproving no-votes in its DoV.
