I don't suppose anyone would care to enlighten me as to how the bot
works wrt the new voting system would tey? I'm sure it's been said
before but I know I for one don't want to go looking for it. It's just
that I've finally got motivated to vote again and realised all I know
how to do is botes of +100, -100 and 0.

Laa Laa.

	Instead of typing Y, you could type 100 or 60 or 80 or whatever.
Instead of N, type -100 or -60, etc.  In otherwords, just type the integer
you would like to vote in place of a letter.

Just substitute the number you want to vote in place of the Y, N, or B.
For instance, if I really didn't like proposals 9901-9903 and was mildly
in favor of 9904 I might tell the bot:

#vote 9901 -200 -200 -200 60

Be sure to separate all your votes in one #vote command with spaces, as
always, and be sure to put space between the first vote and the proposal
number.

You are correct that this sentance is still in there and it did in fact
get misharfed by myself.   I had already fixed this error in my local copy
of the rules, but hadn't put that copy up onto www.ackanomic.org yet.
