#REDIRECT [[edits, votes and bets]]
'''Voting''' refers to any system of making [[multiple choice]] collectively - it is typically used in [[election]]s to form a [[government]] which must make binding decisions that affect everyone, or elect a board (or sometimes even the management) of an enterprise, or choose various measures that affect [[company]] operations.  ''See [[w:voting systems]] for some more depth on this.''
 
''How [[edits, votes and bets]] affect the [[Consumerium buying signal]] is up for debate.  This is probably the design issue that is hardest to resolve, as different [[faction]]s typically view these in quite a different manner.  It is possible to manage it as a trusted [[priestly hierarchy]] as [[Wikipedia]] does, but this degrades the [[dissensus]].  It is possible to have [[faction]]s compete in a '''voting''' system, but this values poor contributors as much as good ones.  It is possible to create a [[revert currency]] and do [[betting]] in it, or in cash even, but this is just another system suitable for hacking.''
