Possible minor adjustment

I think this should be changed to "inaccurate, incomplete or violates..."

Incomplete data isn't neccessarily inaccurate. Voting "No" to a contribution that adds new correct data to an incomplete entry is just as bad as voting "No" to data that replaces old bad data.

Might I suggest that that whole sentence should be taken out and shot? I had to read it several times just to figure out what the hell it's trying to say. I think we should start from scratch and come up with something that's a little easier to comprehend. I think what we're trying to say here is:

"A No vote on a contribution that follows the Contribution Rules is considered an abuse of the voting system."

I don't think it's necessary to worry about what data is being replaced. That data isn't being voted on. It is the new contribution that is being voted on and it either follows the rules or it doesn't. Likewise it should be impossible to follow the Contribution Rules with inaccurate data. I think we can simplify here.

Mark,

I like it. Let's keep it as simple as possible. I support your suggestion.

Voting Rules

Familiarize yourself with the contribution rules before voting. Base aAll voting ~~should be based~~ on support of these Rules and not your personal preferences.

If a user is following the Contribution Rules and his/her data is accurate, and the contribution replaces data which is inaccurate or violates these Contribution Rules, a "No" vote is considered an abuse of the voting privilege and ~~should~~must be avoided ~~when possible~~.
Conversely, voting "Yes" to a contribution which violates these Contribution Rules ~~should~~must also be avoided.
If your personal preference differs from the Rules or you are unsure use the "Neutral" vote
~~Include a reason for any "No" vote that you cast in order to provide useful feedback to the contributor (and the IVS Reviewers.)~~Reasons for "No" votes are required. Reasons for "Yes" votes are optional.
"Vote stuffing", or voting more than once for (or against) a contribution with more than one account is a serious violation of voting rules. This includes bypassing safeguards to vote for your own contribution. Violations will result in immediate loss of voting ability.
