Seen by 214
This is a fork of https://www.loomio.org/d/uFwWM58m/abstention-do-loomio-voting-options-foster-participation-, which aims to make viewers but non voters visible, ie abstention.
This discussion aims to clarify the words used to describe the voting groups. Proposal :
a) Rename the orange "Abstain" to "Undecided"
b) Change "Show undecided members" to "Show members who did not open the proposal",
c) Use "abstain" for the automatic counting of viewers
d) Change the red "Block" to "Stop"

I really like having visibility into lurkers. I have long held that "null" is a valid vote, and it says something when a lot of people are interested enough to read a thread, but not motivated enough to get involved.

Just because somebody hits a URL doesn't mean they actually read the content on the page, hence viewing does not at all amount to abstaining, in my opinion.

I don't know enough about this particular proposal (nor the one from which it was forked) to make an informed decision. However, the underlying question seems to be how to increase participation. If so, how do the proposed data fields address that?

The general idea is good, not sure about the exact plan of action presented...

Was unsure about the Stop thing first, but reading on a little it seems to be a quite consistent proposal. I would recommend to test it well first though!
