I'd say 3 days is still likely to suck for people & like Liese would prefer a full week to vote.
Note that one of the questions you'd be voting on this time is how long the discussion and voting periods will be in all subsequent votes.

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.

Are we not going to wait for Jon's form?
You must have missed my post upthread -- Don't wait for me! If I get a form done, I'll announce it.

Are you calling me a skimmer, Jon? I resemble that.
Okay -
Last call for tweakage to the motion. Then I suggest we post the motion this one time here and Press, Natter and wherever else people think it's appropriate, along with a sample ballot, the email address and instructions.

Dana rocks. Dana just send a test message to votes@buffistas.org
It looks like this:
Username: Dana
Item 1: VOTING
Yes.
Item 2: QUORUMS
No.
Item 3: SIMPLE MAJORITY
Yes.
Item 4: Discussion and Voting Period Time Limits
Yes.
This is close to perfect. For readability, if you all could, I'd prefer:
Username: Dana
1.) VOTING: Yes.
2.) QUORUMS: Yes.
3.) SIMPLE MAJORITY: Yes.
4.) DISCUSSION AND VOTING PERIOD TIME LIMITS: Yes.
If things are all on one line there is much less room for mistake or miscontruing or error. If that's okay with everybody else...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Now everyone knows what I voted!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wow. I feel like a doof for not asking before, but does the "week discussion" mean that discussion continues during the voting, or is it that the decision process takes a week (4 talk, 3 vote days)?

I am sorry to be a pain, but I thought we could discuss and tweak as necessary up until the vote was called?

And alsoo, I think we should announce to threads (if we are going to) before the discussion period ends so that other people get a chance to tweak if they want to..

Not that anybody cares, but I just set up a filter and folder for myself. All Buffista Ballots will be diverted there for safekeeping. Just please be sure not to include phrases like GIANT COCKS or NIGERIANS HAVE TOO MUCH MONEY -- WOULD YOU LIKE SOME? in your subject line. Wouldn't want your vote to get caught in a spam trap.
