Proposal: Here comes the equestrian statue!

Change, in rule 6,

Whenever an Admin Enacts or Fails a Proposal that has been pending for more than 48 hours, he/she has the option of deducting 5 Brains from the accounts of all active Hordes who did not vote on the Proposal. This deduction cannot take place if a proposal has been vetoed or self failed.

Whenever an Admin Enacts or Fails a Proposal that has been pending for more than 48 hours, he/she has the option of idling all active Hordes who did not vote on the Proposal. This idling cannot take place if the proposal in question has been vetoed or self failed.


Also, in Rule 5, change

Any Horde may cast their vote on a Pending Proposal by declaring it in the comments of the entry. Valid votes are FOR, AGAINST, and DEFERENTIAL, which must be represented by appropriate icons. If there exists more than one Vote from a single Horde on a single Proposal, only the most recent of those Votes is counted. If a Horde leaves the game or goes idle, their Vote no longer counts.

Any Horde may cast their vote on a Pending Proposal by declaring it in the comments of the entry. Valid votes are FOR, AGAINST, ABSTAIN, and DEFERENTIAL, which must be represented by appropriate icons. If there exists more than one Vote from a single Horde on a single Proposal, only the most recent of those Votes is counted. If a Horde leaves the game or goes idle, their Vote no longer counts.


and add the following paragraph after the second one in the rule:

A vote of ABSTAIN is a vote of absolutely no opinion whatsoever. It counts as one/half of a FOR vote and one/half of an AGAINST vote when tallying up the votes.


I know this has been proposed before, but, really, I've been doing a lot of minus-fiving, and I could have been doing more, and it seems to fit in with our current movement toward lessening proposals' effects on people's Brains. And, if people are worried that coming around every other day and voting randomly would have horrible effects, now they have an option that doesn't affect anything at all, except for making the queue go faster! yay!
