The immediate future of the subreddit [r/chess] is in question after our latest subreddit poll. Results and the situation so far
Mods made a poll to ask whether to extend the blackout or re-open. After accusations of brigading, mods created a second, more secure poll. The option to extend the blackout wins by a 18% margin. However, the top mod changes his mind, unilaterally decides that the sub should open, and threatens the rest of the mods with contacting the admins to reopen and depose them if they follow through the results of the vote.

I admit that 18% is a small margin, but even so, this somehow just doesn't sit well with me.
18% is a huge margin when it comes to a yes or no question. The last US presidential election to have such a margin was Reagan's 2nd term almost 40 years ago, which was seen as a complete blow out.
Edit: Especially since another 5% votes to keep restricted, which is a 2nd option of not returning to business as normal. So I'd say it was more like a 23% margin, which is enormous.
Huh. I thought Reagan was a blowout because he won 49 out of 50 states.
Didn't know about restricted. I'd be willing to round that up to 1/4th.
Haha that's what I'm saying! An 18 point margin is so big that it results in 49/50 states in the electoral college. Saying it's too close to call is really disingenuous of that one mod.
18pp isn't a small margin. 49 vs 51 is a small margin. 41 vs 59 is no contest.
18% is a huge margin in a democratic election.
