Literally working on all tasks in the original post ASAP. The first one there needs more votes and it'll get implemented for sure. I'd say over 100 votes and it's almost automatic. The others... well, I'm working on ways of implementing all of them. Seriously. E-mails have been sent and talks are being had. I even commented on several of them. Okay then. PS: I know I should post it elsewhere but I'm also now actively working on giving this place (SPOTM) a swift kick in the ass. More details, like, tomorrow night. Hell yeah. Go Rob  |

The "Democracy" task has been deleted. It had 14 "yes" votes and 5 "no" votes about a month after it was submitted.
I would resubmit it, but recent technical changes to the decision engine have made this somewhat risky. Tasks' "popularity" is now controlled primarily by percentage and secondarily by number of votes, so a task with one "yes" vote and zero "no" votes is placed above a task with 99 "yes" votes and one "no" vote. This means that a single "no" vote can put a task onto page 33 or lower on the "popularity" list.
In order to make sure this does not happen to the "Democracy" task, I would recommend that, rather than resubmitting it immediately, we focus on the "We Get to Choose How the Decision Engine Works" task, which hopefully will make the "popularity" list work much more sensibly. This will also help the other three tasks we have endorsed, as they all have a lot of votes, but not exclusively "yes" votes.
