A player shall be considered to have voted in favour of a proposed rules change, regardless of whether or not that player has posted a vote on the rules change, if the rules change in question is a) the oldest currently proposed rules change which has not been voted on by every player, and b) one of the following criteria are met:
i) The player has made the other players aware, by commenting on the main group board, that they will not be able to vote for a certain period of time. The player is considered to vote in favour of any rules changes proposed in this period as soon as the rules change becomes the oldest currently proposed rules change which has not been voted on by every player;
ii) The player has neither voted, nor commented, on a proposed rules change within 24 hours of the proposed rule change becoming the oldest currently proposed rule change which has not been voted on by every player. The player is considered to vote in favour of the rules change as soon as the 24 hours have passed, unless the rule has been modified or a judgement requested on the change. Once the rule has been modified or a judgement decided upon, a new 24 hour period will be considered to have begun;
iii) The player has not voted on the proposed rules change within 24 hours of posting any comment on the rules change that does not include a vote.
