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]]. | |||

The voting pages are most obviously "noindex, nofollow" ( stops search engines from indexing ) and furthermore copyright of the wiki user i.e. '''not copylefted'''. If someone wants to publish vote sets in another namespace this surely will be allowed or even recommended. ( If NGOs want to publish vote sets it's sort of the revival of the [[indirect vote]]. ) | |||
''See [[edits, votes and bets]] for the debate about how to decide the final | |||
[[Consumerium buying signal]].'' | |||
Some basic paradigms have been suggested to measure the support of [[campaigns]]: | |||
*[[Direct Vote]] requires many votes and rewards heavy participation, and, | |||
*[[Indirect Vote]] requires fewer votes and rewards [[faction]] organization | |||
*and the oddly-named [[WikiVote]] which seems to overlap with both of them | |||
==To vote or not to vote?== | |||
The Policy on Consumerium is that '''voting''' is discouraged for various reasons. | |||
#) By voting you open up yourself to severe consumption pattern profiling. Please consider [[not using real name]] if you intend to vote. | |||
#) We don't want any sorts of census effect à la facebook. So please, srsly, don't vote. | |||
#) Voting is unwiki | |||
#) ... | |||

==Planned onwiki 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 | |||
==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. | |||

==What's this I keep hearing about a dual voting system?== | |||
[[Indirect Vote]]s probably won't be implemented due to lack of interest | |||
