User blog:The Terrible Travis/Proposal 7: No Neutrals

Okay, okay. I know I just introduced a proposal like yesterday, but I'm trying to make up for those long six months I went without introducing any new proposals. You know, I was thinking about our proposal policy, and the fact that a proposal can recieve majority support and yet still fail anyway isn't the only dumb part of it. The way neutral votes are counted is also fucking bullshit.

You know how back during the election, Clinton supporters would say "A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for Donald Trump"? Which isn't true, by the way. But you know what is true? A vote for Neutral is a vote for Oppose. Yep. That's how things go under our current system. Which once again, is fucking bullshit. Being neutral towards something isn't the same as being opposed to something, so why should they counted the same? It's time to change how neutral votes are counted.

Changes That This Proposal Will Make
Note: If this proposal is passed, it will be applied to all ongoing and future proposals. Past proposals that have already been closed will not be affected by it.
 * Make it so that neutral votes have no impact on the score, rather than bringing it down as they do under the current system

Please state whether you support, oppose, or are neutral towards this proposal in the comments. Votes will be tallied and the result will be decided on April 12th.
