Neuromatch.social decisions are made with a modified form of consensus for large asynchronous groups. | Neuromatch.social decisions are made with a modified form of consensus for large asynchronous groups. There is no minimum vote required for quorum: all members are encouraged to vote in all decisions, but since it is impossible to define how many members are active, there is no sensible threshold that can be set. | ||
Voting in a [[Consensus]] system is not like voting in a majoritarian system: rather than voting for the thing that would be best for you, you are voting for what is best for the instance.

=== Non-Binary Decisions === | |||
If a proposal needs to make a decision that isn't a yes or no decision, then the following poll types can be used in loomio: | |||
* Ranked Choice - for deciding among an array of possible options | |||
* Score poll - for deciding on a continuous value like eg. a consensus threshold | |||
In this case, the poll should be accompanied by a second that allows members to block the proposal. Otherwise, the winner of the ranked choice or score poll is the result of the proposal. | |||
