CrystaltheCool wrote: ehhh but "i dont wanna state my reason" is a little different in regards to neutrals compared to support/oppose - neutrals dont affect the vote count, and are merely there to provide additional points of discussion. so, a neutral vote without any reasons accompanying it feels "empty", or like there wasnt a vote at all.

supports/opposes on the other hand, affect the vote count, and dont need to provide discussion to have merit, but it is appreciated.

and uh. if they wanna vote on the thread, yet dont care nor have any additional thoughts about what is being said on the thread... then they probably shouldnt vote on the thread, since, like you said, they dun care!!

if they dont care at all, nor have any additional thoughts, then they shouldnt vote, as their vote notifies followers of a suggestion of... a whole lot of nothing!! theyre basically sending spam when they vote despite not giving a fuck anyway. theyre the equivalent of the fucking assholes who voted harambe in the 2016 election, or the ignorant fools who voted bernie instead of, oh, i dont know, one of the two candidates who had a chance at winning.

my apologies, but as an american, this shit pisses me off, man. Stating reasons isn't mandatory, but it is appreciated, yes, but that doesn't mean you have to do so. Yes, I know that neutral votes do nothing to the count and supports and opposes do, but that still doesn't mean that you have to provide a reason. You'd honestly look like a thirsty douchebag if you pry someone for a reason as to why they voted neutral, especially if it were your staff application. Scream at me all you want about this, but my vote will still stand as oppose, this being one of the reasons.

Also, if you vote on the thread, but don't have any additional opinions, then I see your point because someone could just say "Neutral, I don't have a particular opinion on this." I don't know how to word this, but some reasons people may have might start some drama so, to avoid drama, it would be best if they didn't state them.

Lastly, to compare someone who votes "Neutral." on a thread and someone who voted for Harambe or Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Presidential Election is quite a huge stretch. Voting neutral without stating why isn't going to hurt anyone or make you look dumb, maybe a prick at most, but voting "Harambe" on the 2016 Presidential Election just makes you and your state look like gigantic idiots. Plus, the election wasn't fair as Hillary won the popular vote but Trump got in because of the electoral college votes, meaning that you voting for Harambe or Bernie Sanders wouldn't matter at all unless you care about looking somewhat intelligent, also meaning your system is quite, to be explicit, fucked up, to say the least. Also, apologies if I got the term wrong for how Trump got elected, as I'm not American.

And my apologies, but as a Canadian, we have democracy -well, our system is monarchical, meaning that we have a Prime Minister instead of a President, we acknowledge the queen or something, etc, but we still get to vote for our mayors, Ministers of Parliament, Ministers of Provincial Parliament, Prime Minister, etc- too, so this shit pisses me off too, man.
