Okay, then make it Monkeys. I didn't check the poll -- sorry.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

I feel that perhaps we should keep the voting on the board in future. I see the attraction of voting in a poll like that, but it seems to have too many possible difficulties- people who can't vote, people who don't bother to vote there when they might here, people who vote lots of times to change the result (some have happened, some could)- that it isn't worth it. Counting posts isn't that difficult.

(Hey, Jon? I don't know if you saw my post before I edited. I'm in a rotten mood today, and I'm sorry I bitched at your completely valid question because of it. The ongoing discussion was just wearing my patience.)

Yay! Big birthday smooch for Jon.
(Or whatever more manly gesture he feels comfortable with.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The problem with voting on the board (before the poll code gets written) is that it's a bitch to tally.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I vote no more voting until the poll code gets written.
Should we set up a poll for that?

I did see it, but no worries. I didn't take it personally. ;)
Thanks, Angus. I guess I better get over to Natter...

I'm wondering if the slug for the NAFDA show threads don't need a little more clarification.
For example, the Buffy thread slug reads:
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though—if you post one by accident, an admin will white-font or delete it.
I think by saying that an admin will white-font it leaves whether or not the spoiler belongs in the thread a bit up in the air. I know admins probably don't like to delete, but if spoilers shouldn't be in the thread at all, perhaps the slug should be more clear on that? Just a thought.

I think the phrase "No spoilers though" is pretty clear.
