Semi-related. Should you...

A) Cast your vote with a comment behind an option, perhaps intentionally heaving your popular influence on something?

or

B) Leave the votes anonymous relegating (and moving) your comment under "COMMENTS ?" (and I would do likewise)?

Further... How should I state this in the "VOTING OUTLINE" and/or should this "public / anonymous-ish" issue be voted on (thus voting on voting in stages)? Or does it just become a tangle of endless options?

And how might one enforce/organize this? Maybe the mods have some control?

And and, how can I pin the "VOTING OUTLINE" at the top? Maybe /u/magnora7 as mod can? And/or is this post worth pinning anywhere on SaidIt so it won't be lost in time?

Lastly, is 3 weeks appropriate for such a matter? The CAPITALization may be trivial, but really, "tinkering" is not a trivial matter and seems like it could be a paradigm change for this site, from a technical and possibly ethical aspect.

Yes. I recommend taking a look at the code (open source link at the bottom) and if you can implement the features you're talking about and they work well, we'd be happy to bring that in to the main code.

I wasn't referring to code at this part. I was referring to the democratic process.

For example, before we vote on "tinkering" should we first have a vote on how we vote on it?

Would folks prefer A) a user's comment behind an option be a vote, or B) no one comment and simply "upvote/like" the option they prefer to keep it anonymous(ish)?

This additional pre-vote vote/discussion may be obsessive anal over-organized and extremely ineffective democracy to the point of pointlessness.

Or maybe folks want an open and/or anonymous pre-vote/discussion about how the actual vote should take place.

Yeah that's my feeling on it. One of saidit's big strengths is how streamlined we are and how quickly we can improve and change the site. I'm not keen on creating a bunch of bureaucracy to get bogged down in. But I am interested to hear what people think.
