On the contrary, good sir, if we allow for an exhaustive list, people will have a palate of ways to choose from. But only those in the law count. In my draft, if the law indicates that you cannot vote "heck yeah", then you cannot. Simple as that. You may select from a plethora of forms to vote in favour, but if you select something else, your efforts are foiled. Allowing for a list of options, whilst not allowing any funny business. That is what I intended with this long list.

If we stick with only one, it should be Aye/Nay/Abstain. People are used to that, which means even if we put something else in the procedures, we're still going to get people casting votes of Aye/Nay/Abstain because they haven't read the procedures and those are the standard votes pretty much everywhere. So yeah, if we're going with just one option, let's keep the status quo.

I appreciate where Sheepshape is coming from, the synonym thing was maybe not the best idea. But I don't think a list of options for each kind of vote will cause trouble. It's pretty simple really; you pick something from the list or your vote isn't valid. There's no argument over a smiley face, that's just an invalid vote.

"Aye", "Nay" "For" "Against" and "Abstain" are known to people.
As such, those should be allowed. "Against" and "For" come from the World Assembly, whilst "Aye" and "Nay" are usual denominations for offsite forum votes related to NS.
"Abstain" is pretty much universal.
As such, support for the simplified version.

So, limit the votes allowed to those few; is that the general consensus?

But that doesn't make sense sorry.
If you say anything that isn't specifically allowed by the list, your vote is invalid. It's really quite simple yeah
Where is the problem?
