The Agora
In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.
Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.
You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.
Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

Why? No rules on it, you should make that a discussion/vote topic though.
I try not to interact using my other accounts (not everyone can see burggit) so if you do ping me, just use the one related to the thing, please and thank you.
You can start your own voting ways on that kinda stuff, I just did this because it's likely what the ancient greeks at Agora would've done. Just shout your answer for all to hear. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_vote#Ancient_Greece
Common sense. No informed decision can be made if not all information has been brought forward.
My bad, i just tapped the first user the system suggested. Sorry for that, and good that it was still your account :-)
There have been more nuanced arguments made in this thread, this is why i had the idea.
I don't think that the ancient greeks didn't discuss their stuff before voting.
Hey like I said, make a discussion/vote on it, hell I'll probably say Aye/whatever your system is to it. But for now since there just are no rules to this, this is just what we have to deal with.
I didn't mean to say that you acted in some ill faith. Just, not so fast! I see it as my responsibility to voice this, as the idea came to me, and because i haven't seen anyone else doing it.
Edit: Someone is already up to it, discussing the vote mechanics ... i'd suggest to repeat all ongoing votes after these have been established.
... And now that i saw there were numerous votes popping up, i'll apologise for seemingly randomly picking one of them. It was just the first vote link i saw in the info post b the admin. Could have complained anywhere, should have seen the whole forum first.
