==Planned vote structure==
*[[User:Username/My representational vote]] (i.e. proxy or [[Indirect Vote]], this is probably not used at all in the end)
*[[User:Username/Boycotts]]
*[[User:Username/Avoids]]
*[[User:Username/Supports]]
*[[User:Username/Recommends]]
*[[User:Username/Hedges]]
*[[User:Username/Hedges heavily]]
Use following syntax (vote only once on each "thing")
*[[Company X]]
*[[Country X]]
*[[Product group X]]
*...
One can add any number of reasons by prefixing like this (you can intermix commas with "and"s so don't worry about that.
'''[[Company X]] for [[Reason 1]], [[Reason 2]] and [[Reason 3]]'''
in the above articles to cast your votes. Vote only once on one thing
==What things can you vote on?==
Everyone with over 50 edits may vote on any thing (it should be somehow related to production, trading or shoping),  or  but only the following will be tallied [[:Category:Companies|Companies]], [[:Category:Brands|Brands]], [[:Category:Products|Products]], [[:Category:Product groups|Product groups]], [[Category:Countries]] and [[:Cateogry:Areas|Areas]]. If Votes overlap or conflict, the first or last vote encountered will be counted. This is yet to be decided.
==What's this I keep hearing about a dual voting system?==
[[Indirect Votes]] probably won't be implemented due to lack of interest
===What one can vote?===
Direct votes are:
<table bgcolor="Black">
<tr><td bgcolor="Black"><font color=#009900>'''+2'''</font></td><td> Recommends [[Company X]] </td></tr>
<tr><td bgcolor="Black"><font color=#009900>'''+1'''</font></td><td> Supports [[Company X]] </td></tr>
<tr><td bgcolor="Black"><font color=#009900>'''+1'''</font></td><td>Tries to support [[Company X]] </td></tr>
<tr><td bgcolor="Black"><font color=yellow>'''0'''</font></td><td>is neutral about or</td>
<td bgcolor="Black"><font color=yellow>'''00 (+1 and -1)'''</font></td><td>Hedges [must find better word] or</td>
<td bgcolor="Black"><font color=yellow>'''0000 (+2 and -2)'''</font></td><td>Hedges heavily</td></tr>
<tr><td bgcolor="Black"><font color=#CC0000>'''-1'''</font></td><td>Tries to avoid [[Company X]] </td></tr>
<tr><td bgcolor="Black"><font color=#CC0000>'''-1 '''</font></td><td>Avoids [[Company X]]</td></tr>
<tr><td bgcolor="Black"><font color=#CC0000>'''-2 '''</font></td><td>Boycotts [[Company X]] </td></tr>
</table>
<table><tr><td>'''All 0's move the result towards'''</td><td bgcolor="Black"><font color="yellow">50% positive.</font></td></tr></table>

==Voting result for Company X==
'''Vote average on -2≤x≤2 scale normalized to 100%:'''
<table width=100% cellpadding=15>
  <tr>
      <td bgcolor="Gray" width=100% align=center><font color="Black">'''Result Scale 1'''</font></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<table bgcolor="Black" cellpadding=15 width="100%">
  <tr bgcolor=Black>
    <td bgcolor=Black width=40%><font color=#CC0000>0 ≤ x <40% positive on Company X (Red)</font> </td>
    <td bgcolor=Black width=20%><font color=Yellow>40 ≤ x ≤ 60% (Yellow)</font></td>
    <td bgcolor=Black width=40%><font color=#009900>60 < x ≤ 100%</font></td>
  </tr>
</table>
==What's the ratio of 0's compared to all votes (percentage)==
Other possible words to refer to this metric. These include:
*Levering towards 50% positive (bad. reference to leverage)
*Middlage/Middling (middlage is propably better, pronounced french way)
*Quasi-disputedness (maybe, maybe not)
*Neutralifying (maybe, maybe not)
*It's trollage again! All your 2 cows immediemente!
This metric is an '''Average''' ('''scale may have to be adjusted later''' when we can get info on what levels voting 0's settle into)
<table cellpadding=15><tr><td bgcolor="Black"><font color=#FF6600>'''60  ≤ x ≤ 100%''' of votes are 0's</font></td><td color=#FF6600>Notice the range here is 40% wide</td></tr>
<tr><td bgcolor="Black" width=100%><font color=#CC0000>'''45 ≤ x < 60%''' of votes are 0's</font></td></tr>
<tr><td bgcolor="Black"><font color=#6600CC>'''30 ≤ x < 45%''' of votes are 0's</font></td></tr>
<tr><td bgcolor="Black"><font color=#000099>'''15 ≤ x < 30%''' of votes are 0's</font></td></tr>
<tr><td bgcolor="Black"><font color=#009900>'''0 ≤ x < 15%''' of votes are 0's</font></td></tr></table>

=Voting in the future=
In the future you can use one line to vote on multiple entities on one line.
*[[User:Username/Prefers]]
*[[User:Username/Prefers strongly]]
All votables that are before the keyword '''over''' gets voted up and every votable after that gets voted down.
*<font color="Green">Prefers [[X]]</font><font color="Red"> over [[Y]] </font>results in  +1 and -1 respectively
*<font color="Green">Strongly prefers [[X]] and [[Y]] </font><font color="Red">  over Z </font> results in  +2, +2 and -2 respectively
* <font color=green>Strongly prefers [[Product X]] and [[Product Y]]<font color=red> over [[Product Z]]</font> <for [[reason 1]]>
etc.etc.
