moving obsolete stuff to WikiVote+ the ability of users to show sub-sets of their votes to different groups
(open but anonymized voting, everybody sees everybody's votes but does not usually know which votes belong to whom)

Consumerium has the opposite system where '''voting is [[#The trick is in the counting|open]] though anonymized for consumer comfort and security''' and vote counting is '''[[#The trick is in the counting|closed]] and tunable''' which is possible because there is '''no requirement to reach a consensus''' like there is when electing elected representatives of the people in democratic elections.

Everybody will be able to see what everybody voted but not know which votes were cast by whom.  
Everybody will be able to see what everybody voted but not know which votes were cast by whom. It would enrich the Consumium social media game experience to be able to share sub-sets of your votes with your friends or even publish some sets of your votes for all to see. Forming teams and factions that draw and aggregate from team/faction members' votes sub-sets seems a likely feature.
 
===General===
 
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
 
''This is one of many [[open questions]] that need to be resolved.''
 
==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

As in all highly-political wikis we expect a [[paid trolls vs. unpaid trolls]] situation. We are also optimist and hope that a healthy dynamic equilibrium(s) will form. :D :D

==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

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?==
==What one can vote?==
[[Indirect Vote]]s probably won't be implemented due to lack of interest

=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.
