User:James1011R/The difference between !voting and vote-discussion

When trying to discuss ideas to reach a consensus, remember that there's a difference between !voting, vote-discussion, and just voting. Just voting is like putting Support or Oppose and signing it, without having a comment. In a !poll or vote-discussion, those are usually ignored or removed. This essay is going to explain the difference between the two.

!vote

It is based only on consensus, is basically an enhanced discussion with Support, Oppose, or Comment.

vote-discussion

edit

It is based both on consensus and the actual result of the vote. Hence the term "vote-discussion".
