[VectorHermit] I just looked at "VirianVoting and WikiVote and didn't see a reference to "decisiveness". Can you point me in the right direction?
-[VectorHermit] In any case, this format describes a simple majority of the 60% quorum (and we have already determined that the 60% is made up of only Ayes and Nayes, not abstains). The only iffy circumsance is a "balanced" outcome which is not decisive. I suggest that the "Principle of Conservation" suggests that we should retain an old document or not approve a new document, although an alternative approach would be to give the [PrimeVector|VirianPrimeVector] an ex-officio casting super-vote (ie a vote in addition to a personal vote which may previously have been cast). Whichever the case, we should add the decision to the Virian Voting page before establishing the vote on accepting it. I've left this at a simple majority, although Roger
's makes the making of a motion to retract an already passed motion require 2/3 support to be affirmed, on the grounds that anything that doesn't have sufficient support to attract 50% of the the vote probably has other flaws which should be addressed.

Once an official document of the [Church of Virus|ChurchOfVirus] has been [accepted by a vote|WikiAccepted] or [rejected by a vote|WikiRejected], it may only be challenged by a [VirianVector] establishing an alternative document or documents and then establishing a poll (60% quorum:simple majority vote) on the [Virian Voting Page|http://virus.lucifer.com/bbs/index.php?action=voteIndex] which includes links to the wikipages in question.

Question: why a poll instead of a vote? --DavidLucifer
