This seems more reasonable than proposal 98, but item two seems ill thought out. Do not prohibit the automated Polls, but instead utilize them to provide visualization on a particular proposal. Of course, only the actual posted votes will count, but the automated one might provide useful data on an issue.
My vote on this particular proposal is no. While I'm in favor of removing automated polls (at least initially), removing the motion to close will simply waste time in many case, and serve as stonewalling by the smaller groups.
I move that poll topics be not prohibited, as I feel that is too limiting, and instead just be noted as poll votes not counting towards total votes in a proposal.
Come on guys, it's a good bill but it just needs a little bit of work.
Since we're blocked in this thread, let's try another proposal that will encompass all the good changes while retaining the senate's power to end bills before the seven-day time limit!
The bills that get ended before people have a chance to vote on them is what's broken. We have people from all over, with different time zones. How about we change it so that motions to close can only be used after 3 full days of open voting?
