S28 Rules Summit

[slate]

My main question is why are votes not transparent?

Because a rule to make it more transparent failed.

The concerns that got brought up in rules discussion chat re: my proposed rule (Vote Splits) was that it would expose HO to more ire from the rest of the league if there were a vote that was voted yes on by 13/14 GMs and only 1/7 HO+owner+simmer, or something like that. In my opinion HO should be able to defend their votes if something like that were to happen, but I kind of get the concern.

I do think individual ballots would probably be too far (it's a good thing that we can't know exactly which GMs voted for/against something, IMO, since that just leads to extremely targeted harassment). But I thought my proposal was a solid compromise.
