Content Removal Voting- Keep OR Remove- there is no Neutral
I was just offered the opportunity to assist the BabePedia community, but I think the voting system needs a small change.
Message received:
"Help us decide whether comments or links should be removed. Review each active case and choose the option that best reflects the content."
The problem is that there are 3 options for voting on the Comment.
"Keep", "Neutral", or "Remove".
We're voting on Keeping or Removing it, so why not just TWO vote options?
"Keep" or "Remove"?
The people who are Neutral (don't care either way) either won't vote or will pick Neutral which could give you 2 Keeps, 14 Neutrals and 2 Removes... so you're back at Square One again.
Keep or Remove?
THAT is the question.

Comments (1)
In fact, in your example (2-14-2), just two more neutral votes would end that case and keep the comment.
The reasoning is that we want to give people who don't have a strong opinion an option.
If they don't have a strong opinion about the comment, then it's not a terrible comment, so we're using a minor voting effect.
Ideally, we only remove comments where it's clear-cut that they should be removed.
Thanks for your feedback and for helping us improve.
