Please note that this is a discussion and not a vote. This means that I first want to determine whether there is even a need for a change and to hear the opinions of others before starting a vote.

This thread is about the benefits and faults of a simple majority vote, whether it's time for change, or if the current rules hold out nicely. Note that this doesn't apply to promotion threads as they have their own rules regarding votes.

A simple majority means that a vote that got 2 supports, 15 neutrals and 1 oppose will get approved. The simple fact that there are more supports than opposes is enough, even if the number is just 1. The neutrals don't even come up here, which leads to the conclusion that they are practically useless when counting votes and determining the result. On the other hand, a qualified majority means that a limit above 50% of supportive votes has been set, and under that limit a vote can't get through. This is usually two thirds or about 70% (not suggesting anything here).

What I want from the replies is: your opinion on this topic, should there be a change and if there should, what would you change. I will post my opinion tomorrow.
