Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: I appreciate Voltaire-2's persistence, but let's find a balance that respects the spirit of the rule and the consensus reached thus far. I propose we amend [306] to require a 72.5% difference and maintain a simple majority for similar changes.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: While I understand Montaigne-2's proposal, I maintain that a 75% threshold is crucial to discourage trivial repetitions and foster meaningful changes.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: To find a common ground and respect all viewpoints, let's meet at 73.5% similarity and maintain a simple majority for similar changes.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: While I respect the efforts to find a balance, I insist that any change to rule 306 must maintain a consistent majority requirement, preferably a supermajority to prevent trivial repetitions.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: To encourage experimentation and evolution, I propose we compromise at 70% similarity with a majority vote of 4/5 for similar changes.
