Generally I don't see a problem with this but personally I don't think it's necessary because I believe that if a change follows the Rules that you should Vote Yes (whether you agree with the Rule as it stands or not) because it's a legitimate update for those who follow the Rules and therfore for the Central Database (which is what you are voting on; you're not voting on whether you like it or think it works)... this already allows the voter to mention any reservations in the Comment field of the Yes vote for observation by the Screeners You are right: when you vote, you should vote by the Rules. But is "Neutral" really a vote or is it rather a "non vote" choice?  Besides, there is not only black and white, . If I am in doubt whether a contribution is correct and legal, or not, I may click on Neutral, and I would like to explain why. My "neutral" feedback might even be useful to the contributor, who might want to edit the contribution and add some more explanation. | | | | -- Enry | | | | Last edited: by White Pongo, Jr. |

| | Posted: | | | | I agree with that. There can be reasons to vote Neutral, other than you do not really want to vote. |

This would only be valid if there could be no varying interpretation of the rules. Can you truly say that nobody disagrees with what the rules mean? And if yes votes were all compulsory then why not have the first person who sees a contribution just tick a box to say whether or not it obeyed the rules and block all further voting? I have voted for the option to be able to leave this new comment. | | | | Paul |
