"Please only vote if you are really active on both." So only vote if you are going to say yes?

  And what is "Use other" supposed to mean? Other what?

    I use Google. Does that count?

    It's always useful to include "other" - some people might use reddit in a way that they don't want to select either yes or no.

  I think maybe they mean "please vote only if you're active on HN".

  When I was in primary school they sent the kids home with a questionnaire to let the students' parents vote on some rule changes. They options were "Yes", "No" and "I choose to have my vote count with the majority" To this day I'm convinced that was their way of covertly stacking the deck in whatever direction they saw fit.

    Ignoring psychological priming, that's basically the same as Yes/No/Abstain. Of course, we probably shouldn't ignore the priming :).

      But they could count the "majority" vote as going in either direction, and it would still be true :)
