It's in Rule 1728 and 2124, but those rules are a little confusingly written.
If the rules say you can do something "with N support", then you make an "announcment of intent" announcing what you intend to do, and you have to say you need N support to do it (if N isn't specified, it defaults to 1). Then, when N or more people publish something that says they support you doing it, you say something like "having gotten N support, I do this." "Without N objections" is the opposite. You post the intent, saying you'll do it Without N objections. There's then a 4 day waiting period. If fewer than N people have announced that they Object in that time, then you can say "having received fewer then N objections, I do this". Again N defaults to 1. Finally there's an "with N Agoran Consent" option which is like a mini-election, after 4 days the ratio of Supporters/Objectors must exceed N. Support and objections an also be withdrawn. You're supposed to list your supporters/objectors when you do the action, but that's enforced with a SHOULD and hardly anyone ever does, and shorthand is used a lot.
