do you know what it mean if you have "http://cryptofresh.com/u/committee-account"
as your proxy?

i see many accounts are doing this, but the committe-account are not voting, so why does people use the committe-account as proxy?
It's due to a sad GUI bug, which can be found in the closed issue list.

Just send 0.000000001 BTS to each of them with a memo. :)

P.S. Why don't we have a "Send message" feature in openledger?

do we need a token for this, or is is enough to send a transaction with a memofield?

in general i think it is a better idea, to get people to vote. I would only send the reminder to active accounts, makes no sense to
waste effort to people who are not even aware of it.

i would suggest, we could create a thread who everything is explained

1. how they vote
2. we is it important to express what they want

we could incloud in the memofield this thread link and if anyone has questions we could answer them in this place.
Yep, also a good idea !!!!

I've just created the thread and throw my idea to brainstorm.

I'm sure we can do something easy to improve this situation !

Well, I'm not completely sure it's a good idea ...

Here are the top 80 richest bts shareholders not voting.

( http://richlist.btsgame.org/#/richlist/bts )

mcxcwbts 11,107,976
goldsix 6,050,401
ubris 6,000,000
miso69 4,833,076
lambda1 4,063,036
deepweb 2,974,341
jaehyuk 3,876,514
andrewmiao 3,786,080
tomliu 3,719,558
go-danny-go 3,533,157
mike-primorac 3,479,329
bts-ats8088 3,778,135
freggieleggie 1 3,401,362
brentallsop 3,247,576
zy360 2,891,468
bts-fruitsalad 2,804,446
operations.hyperetas 2,626,603
rand1 2,586,347
thread 2,553,716
hardfork 2 2,545,413

Which is 76,201,801 BTS not voting.

I could have done this list much bigger and have much more not-voting-power.
I just want first to have feedbacks on that first.

My idea is to create an UIA named "voting", "shame", "participation", ... something like that.
Share this token to anyone who is willing to participate.
Then we can all send these "UIA reminders" to vote to these accounts that are not voting.
In the transaction, we would add a memo saying something like : "Remember that voting for proxy or workers helps the natural growth and health of BitShares and your investment." And we also add a link to a youtube quick video on how to vote.

In the event of a community agreement on that idea, I would create the UIA (the name would be chosen in this thread) and put it for sell in the market at a ridiculous price so everybody can have plenty of that UIA for a a few bts and I would get back the 7K bts paied for UIA creation fee.

Do you think it's a good idea ? Can it be improved ?

If you think it's a good idea, how many bts do you pledge (particpate, support the idea) to buy the UIA (I just want to make sure I can have at least a part of these 7000 bts paid in fees)

I think it could give us a tool to point out the accounts not voting and they would also feel the pression of the community suggesting that it could be nice to vote. It would be a gentle way to manage the voting apathy.

I would also add the UIA on http://richlist.btsgame.org/#/richlist/ so we could see the accounts who has received the more of the UIA-suggestion-to-vote.
