Oz ,'Him'
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.

The procedure for this vote right now is email, but I don't think the mothod is worked out yet (see Jon's post).
Ah ha. That's not in Cindy's post (the one linked to in the Press) nor is it made explicit in the discussion that follows. I backtracked to try and figure out how we were supposed to vote, and even so it still isn't at all clear to me.
Also, I fear that people don't read press.
I read Press, Apocalypse and COMM religiously. Even when I'm not posting for weeks on end, I show up almost everyday to read those threads. They're quick, they're easy and they are interesting.
I think the idea was after the discussion any changes would be made to Cindy's post, and reposted to open the vote, along with instructions.
I still am counting 48 hours for the vote. Am I that bad at math? Pathetic. That's why I can't participate in the higher math discussions.
Is it votes@buffistas.org (with an 's') or vote@buffistas.org?
Also, I fear that people don't read press.
it is the people whose names I hardly even know, in the show threads or in Firefly that I don't think even know some of the other threads exist.
I know that the idea of posting an announcement about every new vote (provided we vote to vote) in every thread was dismissed, but perhaps a general broadcast for this one, first-time vote would not be amiss.
Just a thought.

Call me elitist, but if folks can't be bothered to read a thread labelled "General Announcements" then that's their loss.
vote@buffistas.org
juliana, personally, my reflex is that people that care about boring voting and stuff are the sort that read press or bureaucracy.
But there may be a smidge of defensiveness there. No, not really. Lots of people don't care, and that's just fine. I'm just leaning towards an assumption I think is efficient.
I know Jon, and I sort of feelthat way, too. But they could think it is general announcements of buffy stuff and not care, or something. I just want anyone who care to be able to say we told them. Even if we just went in with a PSA that they should read Press.

FWIW, Jesse posted it right after Liese's post that you referenced, when I asked the same question: Jesse "Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier" Feb 25, 2003 1:33:02 pm EST
I agree an APB this once couldn't hurt.
