57.5 Degrees of Pain 30 Apr 1:43pm, 30 Apr 2025 28,423 posts	Quote Pin 57.5 Degrees of Pain The response could be labelled a more neutral 'abstain', but we need a response to capture what we have considered, but have no opinion on one way or the other.
Sam Jelfs 30 Apr 1:53pm, 30 Apr 2025 1,627 posts	Quote Pin Sam Jelfs Iirc it was added so people could "vote" without really voting, I've abstain but have the request marked as voted. Saves people voting yes/no just for the completeness of voting on everything when actually they don't care
JamieKai chameleon 30 Apr 2:08pm, 30 Apr 2025 20,586 posts	Quote Pin JamieKai chameleon I use Meh for things that just don't affect or interest me. Something to do with the training log or a game I don't play? Meh. That way I know I've read it and won't have to re-read it next week when I'm asked about open votes.
Velociraptor 30 Apr 2:11pm, 30 Apr 2025 75,121 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor "Meh" was of its time when the feature was introduced but I'd be happy to see it changed to Abstain.
Fragile Do Not Bend 30 Apr 2:45pm, 30 Apr 2025 12,290 posts	Quote Pin Fragile Do Not Bend I only use No when it’s something I don’t think should be introduced, there’s not many of those. Meh is for things I’m not fussed about as there’s a limited number of Yes votes I can cast.
um 30 Apr 4:31pm, 30 Apr 2025 9,526 posts	Quote Pin um I use 'Meh' for 'Couldn't care less' or 'Doesn't impact me'. Whereas as others have said, 'No' is reserved for something I disagree with. (although some politically aware people may use 'No' to mean "Don't spend time on that, spend time on the things I'm in favour of" )
AndyS 30 Apr 5:24pm, 30 Apr 2025 3,603 posts	Quote Pin AndyS I always assumed that "meh" was the equivalent of an abstention (maybe "whatever - doesn't affect me"), whereas I reserve "no" for things that I generally don't think are a good idea.
DaveG 30 Apr 5:24pm, 30 Apr 2025 581 posts	Quote Pin DaveG I'd change 'meh' to 'read'. It sounds insulting to say I'm not interested, when I often just mean I'm not a cyclist so have seen it and don't have an opinion. I'd also introduce a 'black ball', doing the opposite of gold and saying 'please don't'. It feels like that would be a better measure than no, which as um says could just mean don't use energy rather than I oppose.
Bowman 🇸🇪 30 Apr 6:51pm, 30 Apr 2025 4,166 posts	Quote Pin Bowman 🇸🇪 Whatever it’s called it should be an definition of the meaning cus everyone has different thoughts of what they mean by pressing the buttons ..
rhb 1 May 5:40pm, 1 May 2025 2,579 posts	Quote Pin rhb Thanks all. Something to do with the training log or a game I don't play? Meh. Meh to me feels like No, so in this scenario Meh suggests the game might not develop if it has non-players vote No or Meh even if the idea is a good one. Perhaps "not relevant to my use of FE" would be a clearer response option. I could put it to the vote as a feature suggestion, but that could all go a bit Votey McVoteface as everyone votes Meh for a giggle 😃
