Can I ask all the VFD regulars to stop using an abstain vote? Unlike VFH where you, supposingly, don't want to hurt the writer's feelings, in VFD there is really no weight to the abs vote. You either want it gone, or not. By using the abs one you simply delay the process and clog up VFD. Thanks. ~Jewriken.GIF 11:50, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Hmm you're right. If you can't decide about it being deleted it should be a keep right? --Sir DJ ~ Irreverent OZ! Noobaward.jpg Wotm.jpg Unbooks mousepad.PNG GUN.png 11:54, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
That's my approach. ~Jewriken.GIF 12:02, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Fair enough... I had thought that an abs was (in some small way) useful to the administrators in assessing the quality of an article, especially if there is a useful comment attached, but I'm happy to change how I vote. Should Template:VFDRules be updated to reflect this new policy? MrN Icons-flag-gb.png HalIcon.png WhoreMrn.png Fork you! 17:23, May 4
It shouldn't be a strict rule, more of a request. ~Jewriken.GIF 17:36, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I occasionally use an abstain to point out relevant facts about an article about which I otherwise have no strong feelings -- for instance, if reviewers suspecting a vanity article seem unaware that the subject of the article is in fact the #1-rated quoits champion from Guyana, or something. But other than that, voting in order to express ambivalence is mostly non-productive all right. ----OEJ 17:30, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, but I'd say that's more of a Symbol comment vote.svg Comment. than an Symbol neutral vote.svg Abstain.. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon Baloon.gif(Tick Tock) (Contribs) 19:37, May 4
If you want to Symbol comment vote.svg Comment. with your Symbol opinion vote.svg Opinion or ask a Symbol question.svg Question, that's Symbol keep vote.svg fine. If you don't care about Symbol keep vote.svg keeping or Symbol delete vote.svg deleting the article, then Symbol abstain vote.svg abstaining for the hell of it will Symbol possible vote.svg possibly just Symbol wtf vote.svg annoy people. I Symbol heart vote.svg heart vote symbols. Spang talk 20:09, 04 May 2008
And to think, I introduced them to Uncyclopedia as a prank...  Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize  writings  SU&W) 20:10 May 04, 2008
Yeah, it's a pity I don't like voting. Spang talk 20:11, 04 May 2008
