There are options in the poll that basically describe the status quo.

I'm not going to read through all the poll options just to find the one that applies to my disapproval. You should've just added a "i'm not included / keep things the way they are" option for the people who don't want things to change. So, i'll just refrain from voting.

I voted in the original poll, have not changed my mind so all these extra subdivisions mean nothing to me. MB is fine as it is, no need for change. End, for me, of subject. So I'm not voting here, but just letting you know why.

No, I shouldn't. Last time, I was told it shouldn't be a simple yes / no question. Now you're telling me that there should be a simple option, but only only one for those who want to keep things exactly as they are? I don't think so.

It would be stupid for various reasons which I won't bother get into at this point. It's clear you haven't thought your suggestion through.

If you don't want to vote, that's fine.

Tore you should have made a poll option specifically for someone with my very important point of view, even though the only contributions I've made to the discussion revolve around my not wanting to participate in the discussion.

Great. I'm being mocked now. I see the maturity level of this discussion has gone down significantly.

At least cut him some slack on that point.

On what point? He was complaining to me that I didn't respond to the walls of text on his schedule so I responded to him.

K then the people who don't want any change just won't vote most likely, don't see how making this more complicated will be making it easier so do what you want.

I'd just like to point out that because he posted last, at this point, when you look at the thread it says "How should MB be moderated? By Machine."
