One formula I've seen work is a 50/50 payout -- that is, half the entry goes to payouts (on a regular scale), other half goes to the fundraiser. So players get some payout, which works for those who are so motivated, and the fundraiser raises money from each entrant.
I don't think the rule anticipates abstentions.
Among the cures could be adding "failure to participate in a group decision" to the courtesy violations."
Though, ultimately, I think that any cure in this case is worse than the disease -- more elaborate voting rules, for the rare case in...
