I had thought this at one point, but they actually don't amount to the same thing. An abstain vote counts for quorum but it doesn't count against the majority. As long as quorum is met a proposal could pass with one yes vote, and all the rest abstains, but it could not pass with one yes vote and all the rest no votes.
Should a single "yes" vote really be enough to make someone a "trusted" user?
If no one else cares to voice an opinion, then yes.
I suppose this would only happen if *no-one* voiced a "no" opinion, meaning that our definition of "trust" comes down to a question of burden of proof. Should someone be required to have a minimum proportion of "yes" votes to be counted as "trusted" or should it be enough that no-one really thought that they weren't to be trusted? Have there ever been any "betrayals" of trust? (i.e. has any TU ever abused privileges?) Pete.
