Sorry I thought I made a typo and could correct it.

MP, I agree with you and not only that.. I understand your reaction, because Sean's proposal came as a direct reaction to you creating a group. I also created a group on top level (not a sub-group), I did so without asking for permission, I did not crate a proposal for others to vote if it was necessary or not. But hey, maybe it was a "bad" thing.

I find the "block position" interesting, it reminds me of the UN security council :)

@altruism: How do you know that Sean did this?

@Sean: Is it true that you created this in direct reaction to my creating a group? If so, why?

@Altruism: LOL. Thanks for keeping your humor!

I think that there should be some process to creating groups. Otherwise, you could, theoretically, have 15-20 groups created by people, and there would be a lot of redundancy and disorder. For instance, we don't need to have 6 groups for development. My opinion is the fewer groups, the better.

Too many groups reduces efficiency, and causes fragmentation.

MP, I don't know! I could have been clearer on that, what I meant to say was: ... because TO ME Sean's proposal came as a direct reaction to you creating a group. You created the first group (top level) and short after Sean created this proposal. That was what I observed and that was my impression.

Sean, if we're going to regard a "block" as a "no", then we should be able to either A) remove the Block button, or B) make sure that people know that those two votes are equivalent.

I prefer simple majority rule, too.

If we hover over "state your position" we can see that "block" in Loomio means "I block, I have strong objections to this motion and I'm not ok with it going ahead".

@Brent: Who decides that a "block" is a "no" vote?

And why is that discussed after I decided to use the "block" vote?
