<div>Thanks for the feedback, good points.<br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">1) That people don't reply to a post doesn't mean they don't have an opinion. The new forum for example allows to give emoticon reactions. This means that people don't need to comment but a simple thumps up or down is enough to express their opinion. Making the voting more accessible means that even the silent people have a change to participate in this community vote.<br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">2) That poll was not made public. On a public vote you see the usernames below the different options.<br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">3) If you see who voted for what, you can also see who commented. Besides, by using thumps up, users can agree with other people their reactions instead of replying with the same comment or "Same reasoning as user xx"<br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">4) That is a valid point. I don't have a clear answer to that right now.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div>Greetings,<br></div><div><br></div><div>Vincent<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>24 sep. 2022 10:47 van tagging_at_openstreetmap_org_seblajktkh@simplelogin.co:<br></div><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><div>1) "The most popular vote on OSM wiki had about 130 votes. <br></div><div dir="auto">This is really
