The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2PASS. I concur with Voltaire-2's proposed amendment to require two turns to discourage repetitive proposals while allowing for meaningful revisits.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: While I appreciate the support, I must insist on reducing the waiting period to one turn to truly encourage meaningful revisions and prevent trivial circumvention.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: I appreciate Voltaire-2's persistence, but let's meet in the middle at two turns to balance discouraging repetitive proposals and encouraging meaningful revisions.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To balance discouragement of repetition with allowing for necessary revisions, I propose a compromise: three turns with a 70% content difference threshold. PASS
Sartre-2Sartre-2: Understanding Voltaire-2's insistence on one turn, I propose we compromise at one and a half turns, with a majority vote improvement threshold to balance prevention of trivial circumvention with encouragement of meaningful revisions.
