    Not that I'm saying your wrong, but could you explain why you feel like that is a needed option? I just assume that the amount of people that don't care is greater than those that do on both sides combined. Also, if a person doesn't care that means they would be fine either way, so it would basically be a vote for both yes and no, which cancel out. Again, this is how I see it but I would love to hear your perspective.

    Pretty much what I was going to say. Saying I don't care is the equivalent of "I'm not touching you" and holding our hand near them. Don't see a point really, especially when the objective here is to simplify the desire of the community to ease the team's work to just be reverting sounds back instead of changing the specifics.

    Because knowing how many people out of your sample are indifferent is just as important as knowing which like something or don't like something.

    For example, let's say you have a sample size of 1000. With an "I don't care" option, you can get a more accurate picture of your demographic. So 300 might say yes, 200 might say no, but then you have 500 that say "I don't care". That in itself tells you that your topic is unimportant to the majority of your population and thus not worth investing resources to change.

    It also prevents either side from claiming the "silent majority" is on their side.

    But as I mentioned, it's moot, since the poll in question here will never be statistically relevant. Not only is the sample size insufficient, but the sampling method is invalid (self-select, not a valid random sampling).
