Board Thread:General Discussion/@comment-30330407-20170429135242

I've always wondered why you should provide a reason if you wanna support the idea on Decisions Board.

The point is if you don't type anything below Support icon, some admin or a user that acts like and admin (there are pretty many of them here) will for sure reply with something like 'You need to provide a reason'. If you don't provide a reason, your vote won't be counted.

Therefore, in order to have some text and have their votes counted, people start paraphrasing parts of topic's first message (where the idea is described) or typing 'Same as %username%'. It's really really stupid to see the entire thread filled with pointless messages of that kind.

All the reasons have already been stated by the topic's creator and if you don't have anything extra to say then why should (even must) you?
