A WikiVote is just a vote taken via a wiki. Some issues:
- can you change a vote after you make it?
- Sure. You can remove your vote simply by removing it from your User:UserName/MyVotes page perhaps to switch to support an another more credible, better-argued campaign.
- which w:voting system should you use? for what purposes?
- The question is already answered elsewhere, though disagreeing views are welcome. The current proposition is a one-to-one vote: You have one WikiVote per issue. A more interesting question is how and by who is defined what is an "issue". Obivious issues are a company, a brand, a product and a product group so we should start with these basics and then expand.
- See m:TIPAESA for an outline of a typical issue position argument structure. Presumably something can't be a Consumerium:issue until it has had some time to be elaborated, if this is to be a w:deliberative democracy.
- how is w:user authentication performed? By just accounts and passwords, or by IP number, or what?
- The existence of multiple levels of authentication is the basic approach, but the details are yet quite open.
- This could be factionally defined if there is a way for factions to register distrust in each other's methods and reduce their power if a Consumerium:audit shows them abusing proxies or something. Make them compete to create invincible systems of authentication, or none, as long as they dont claim to speak for individual buying criteria that they don't speak for.
