- NhanH 10y agoHow would "doing something" be the default action over "doing nothing"? Regardless, you can make up all kind of reasons (for both sides), to justify this or that being the default action. But in the end, it's all assumptions of other people's intention, and those are always causing trouble. There is a reason quorum is required for most type of serious voting.
