no

aye

Each week the current slate of pending votes is posted and voting can occur with upvotes and downvotes on an aye, nay, and abstention comments inside the post.

I really like this, helps keep it neat and easy to find each question on the "ballot" which will have a natural time limit

Some people want a secret ballot. Shitbags deserve a vote too 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's not perfect, but like you said, it's simple enough, and IMHO it's better than our current system

Just do what takes the least effort because at the end of the day there is no way to prevent outside voting.

I voted aye initially but after thinking about it, this makes the most sense.

My suggestion here would allow for this:

The current aye/nay system is cluttered and clunky. How about we allow comments in [discussion] posts and then have a separate [vote] post with a single comment for each option so people can choose up/down/abstain? Then nobody has to count anything, human or bot, or worry about typos, formatting, sarcasm, etc.

I also propose a minimum of 3 days, maximum of 1 week per each [vote], no time limits for discussion. You can choose when to start the official [vote] after discussion starts.

correct me if I'm wrong as a noob, but all I can see are numbers of posts, not "karma" which depends on up votes?

nay, down vote and move on. if it really bothers you, unsubscribe/block. defederate only if they start brigading and normal mod controls stop working, if it's just a few bad actors should be easy enough to ban them

Aye, I agree; I think this is a good starting point.

Perhaps we should also require a time limit for each vote, so we can officially state a result at a defined point in time instead of dragging it out forever. I am assuming a [vote] will result in a rule change, while a [poll] is nonbinding and simply gauges the community's thoughts. If we do have a time limit, I think it's a good idea to have a minimum of 3 business days or something like that so someone can't hold a secret 1 hour vote on a weekend or holiday. I know not everyone lives in Canada or the US, but we could use those countries as starting points for holidays.

Edit: expanded on my thoughts here
