one of the big problems i have with the assembly hall system is that there is a support button, but not an unsupported button.
why is this a problem?
it means you cannot be neutral. in order to gauge how well an idea is liked, you have to compare the number of supports to the total number of posts.
this creates an atmosphere of "if you arnt with us, you are against us" because it means if you dont post with an explicit support, you are reducing the apparent support level.
i propose a "not supported" tick box. if you tick "not supported" it deducts a point from the "supported" tally.
this means an item can have negative or positive support, but more importantly allows people to post constructive but not explicitly supportive posts, without seeming to cast a "not supported" vote.

Not supported, as this is based off the flawed idea that the number of thumbs up posts (as compared to the total number of posts) is what indicates whether the idea will be brought to CCP by the CSMs. This is incorrect.
The thumbs up feature on the Assembly Hall posts can allow the CSMs to easily eyeball the threads. They can see by the number which topics have caught the eye of many people and then go into the threads themselves to see what kind of support (or lack thereof) there actually is for the idea.
and this is wasting the CSM's time.
let me show you why:
hypothetical thread:
2000 posts on thread, 500 supports.
looks pretty promising, eh?
except that in that thread, 500 posts are supportive, 500 are neutral and 1000 are negative.
if there were a "not supported" box, that tally would have shown -500 instead of 500, and the CSM would have known that it was an unpopular idea.
instead, they have to tunnel though the entire thread to get an overview o just how unpopular the idea is.
if you have a way to show your liking for an idea, but no way to show your disliking, it cannot help but create misrepresentation.
