Is "Threshold Equal Approval" discussed online?

Hi User:Catulhu, has "Threshold Equal Approval" been discussed in any publicly-accessible online forum ? If so, could you provide a deep link to the exact discussion? Otherwise, we'll need to move the "Threshold Equal Approval" to "User:Catulhu/Threshold Equal Approval". Also, it's pretty clear you haven't read User:RobLa/Welcome, which isn't required for all editors, but as of this writing, you haven't acknowledged my welcome message from February 2022. That's a hint that you aren't inclined reply to talk pages generally, which is worrisome. If nothing else, I would appreciate it if you placed something on the "User:Catulhu" page. Thanks in advance! -- RobLa (talk) 05:24, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi Rob, sorry for not responding to the welcome message!

It's discussed for a bit on this forum post https://www.votingtheory.org/forum/topic/240/threshold-mes/. Also due to its similarity with Expanding Approvals and ordinal MES, I should link their papers as well, https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00355-019-01208-3, and https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper/2021/hash/69f8ea31de0c00502b2ae571fbab1f95-Abstract.html respectively. If you'd like me to move it to my user page, I can certainly do that and I don't really mind doing so; I mostly just wanted to have a static description of the method & motivation to point to. I will say though, it seems at least as legitimate as a few other methods with their own pages ;) Catulhu (talk) 12:56, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

No worries at all, and thanks for the links! I'll add them while I'm here. I know that I've been rather uneven with my enforcement of the norms I'd like to see here, so my apologies if my responses to you seem more harsh than others appear to have gotten. It largely depends on my mood and my energy. My mood (like if I'm feeling overwhelmed) may result in seeming impatient. My energy level will dictate how much energy I apply to making it cordial here. My hope is that the people who make changes here on electowiki get practice for editing English Wikipedia, where the admins vary greatly in their friendliness. Mastering "Talk:" pages over on English Wikipedia is an important aspect to having influence over there (and it doesn't hurt here on electowiki, either). -- RobLa (talk) 08:08, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
