The negative side of this idea: more coding work for ita (and Lord knows that she has already work enough here during the weekend).
Paul, I'm pretty sure that polls are on the list of features to be implemented some day.
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

And why not adding a poll module to the current website?
Paul, I think that's a goal, just not an immediately accessible tool.
once - twice - three times, an x-post

Paul, onsite polling is on the features list, but it's not a top priority. We're trying to come up with a temporary workaround.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'd like to see it a bit more moderated/stomped than the other threads, if not as much so as Press and Beep Me
Agreed. I also think that the thread should be kept closed unless there is something up for discussion.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Sophia, I think we have to agree on the idea of a Supreme Court and debate thread first.
True, true.
So the options are:
1) Keep decision making the same, by trying to get consensus
2) Vote on things proposed in Bureacracy
3) Vote on things proposed in Bureacracy, but discussed in another thread created for that purpose.
Are these the only options?
My actual point was that someone might propose something, we talk about it, and end up with a differant idea. I think we should be open to it.

I think the admins can get a report of addresses, but only for people with their addresses in their profile, maybe? DX? ita?
The admins can see all the e-mail addresses, hidden or not.

Proposal - the Supreme Court thread (which I think I liked but disremember) is probably something that needs more discussion. I'd like to see us set that aside for now. Let's get a simple decision making model in place, first. Then discuss and decide on the Supreme Court thread. I think it has enough formality to it that some people will oppose it and we might get so bogged down, that we'll never even be able to decide on a thread name again.

A variation on DX's idea that would be easier to tally -- create two email addresses, voteyes@buffistas.org and voteno@buffistas.org. We only vote on one issue at a time. That way, all Jesse has to do is look at how many new messages are in each box (deleting duplicates, if necessary).

OK-- so we are deciding
To vote or not to vote?
And how? (I actually think that we can't discuss how without discussing a separate thread).
