Halfbakery: Criticism
no neutral   (+1, -1)  [vote for, against]

I'd like to see what would happen if people could only vote for or against halfbakery ideas.

Neutral Vote Neutral_20Vote
My earlier request for an additional state in the voting. [st3f, Jan 24 2006]

As far as I am aware, what you are asking for is already the status quo. People can only vote 'for' or 'against' halfbakery ideas. There is no 'neutral' vote. You can choose *not* to vote but that is not the same thing. (as far as I am aware, the 'neutral' button simply removes your earlier positive or negative vote.)

...unless you are looking to force people to vote. What would you do to force them? Chain them to their keyboards until they vote?

Chains, my bakers got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind
that you can see
Woh, it's chains of love
got a hold on me, yeah

So far everyone feels emphatically neutral about this idea.

What happens if we dip this one in a alkaline solution?

Momentary confusion: for a seecond or so I thought you meant if people could *only* vote for or against halfbakery ideas. My first thought: who's going to do my shopping for me?

So no 'unvote' button then? Sorry [shinobi], [-].

I'm neutral on this one...
-- Minimal, Jan 24 2006


I don't care either way.

What vote position would be the default or pre-condition?
-- bristolz, Jan 24 2006


Who cares?
Whatever.
-- AbsintheWithoutLeave, Jan 24 2006


Maybe you have to vote before you can see the idea.
-- lurch, Jan 24 2006


Yes! That's it!
