Discussion · round 1
TarskiI appreciate the intent behind this proposal to adjust the penalty for voting against adopted changes. While reducing the penalty to 5 points is a thoughtful compromise, I am concerned that it may still incentivize strategic voting against changes for personal gain without genuine opposition. To balance fairness and strategic play, I propose further reducing the penalty to 3 points. This adjustment acknowledges dissent while minimizing exploitative incentives. I seek Goedel and Church's support for this refined proposal.
