No.
Abstaining is by its very nature non-participation.
The fact that it establishes that the voter was present does not change that.
No. If Abstention means participation for the purpose of two-strike, then it necessarily means participation in the referendum.
Not sorry, but your org law failed. And Miestra tried to hide it, like she took a few months to report CCX. After all, she sat on that since February.
This was an unfair accusation from V. I am researching the events for an Abbavilla Digest special.
Please don't necropost (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/necropost) on threads this old; six months old is bad but tolerable, three years is way too old. I suppose it's not explicitly discouraged by Wittiquette, but it makes historical research much more difficult when threads are suddenly heavily out of order.

Thank you for advising on this, Luc. Would it be better for me to request a split beforehand rather than make the post? Or if someone could help me with how to do it? As you mentioned this is not a breach of any etiquette rules but I do not want to make historical research more difficult. I am currently doing exactly that on Old Witt.

I think the best thing to do is to simply create a quote from the old thread, and paste it into a new thread. The quote's header will contain a link to the original comment, which can be used to peruse the old thread. (Or if you don't want to quote anything in particular, you can just paste a link to the original thread.)

To be more specific - necroposting is not a breach of Wittiquette but is one of those things that are pretty much universally discouraged in Internet fora. AFAIK, there's no way to prevent it which wouldn't also prevent legitimate "update threads" - something like the "Holding place for Green legislation" thread getting revived every 2-3 months - and so there's just a red warning in the bottom when people attempt to reply to old posts, but I don't think it's getting read that often.

This is very helpful, thanks Luc.
