There is an obvious over abundance of proposals in the UN. The are only voted on by the UN if they recieve enough support, but how am I to read through them all. If they must recieve enough support to be voted on by the UN than they should also be allowed to be voted to be removed from the proposal list.

I. All existing proposals required to recieve a number of support votes should have an option to cast negative support which should be set in accordance with the support votes (ie. they must recieve 124 to be voted on by the UN then there should be an option so cast negative support. If 50 negative support be submitted then it should be deleted.)

II. Any proposal recieving set amount of negative support should be deleted.

An intriguing idea, though I'd be against it in the form you've proposed. Anybody can get 50 people to disagree with any proposal, so nothing would ever survive.

There are a couple of other options I'd be in favor of:

Each proposal no longer needs a set percentage of delegate support. Instead, each proposal has to get more delegate support than vetoes to be voted on by everyone. Each delegate can either approve of or vote against each proposal. If a proposal has more approvals than negative votes, it reaches quorum, even if only 3 people vote for it, and 2 against! This will give Delegates more power, and I would love this.

The other option would be for each delegate to have a positive or negative vote on proposals, and each proposal would still need the approval percentage, but each negative vote would subtract one of the approvals. Therefore, if 124 delegates vote for a proposal, and 1 votes against it, the proposal will only have 123 approvals, because the vote against would detract from the approval. I don't really favor this, because no proposal would ever make it.

Perhaps we could keep it the way it was, but have UN Modlings (Like Salusa's job, but for the UN. They could go through the proposals and delete stupid ones. (Unless the mods already do this, in which case, feel free to hit me).

Enodia does that.

I like, although I wonder how much coding it would take.

I suspect that when Salusa sees this the result of discussion is "No, Maybe in NS2."

I already suggeste promoting somebody for this and they said no.

But Enodia (and sometimes Reploid) are very efficiant at it.
