Whip Appeal
OMG, I don't think we can use that, because I'd spend all day remembering this one guy from high school.
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 vote for Whip Appeal!
I know. You're all stunned.
Give in to the Babyface earworm.
Actually, it might help me separate the 'Face from that one guy. OK, I'm in!
I like the idea of bringing the offender to Bureaucracy before a warning is issued. However, an official warning should be clearly marked as such (say, the words "Official Warning" in the header).
Or the other way 'round - come to Bureaucracy if the warning is not effective. I'd rather give people the opportunity to change their behavior before being called on the carpet, IOW.
All I gotta say is... 42! How cool!
Catching up, catching up.
Various things to say -- first, the only Buffy quote I can find containing the word "democracy" is this:
ANYA: Well, that's right, foreigner. (Giles gives her a look) So I've been reading a lot about the good ol' us of A (she says "us" not "U.S."), embracing the extraordinarily precious ideology that's helped to shape and define it.
WILLOW: Democracy?
ANYA: Capitalism. The free market depends on the profitable exchange of goods for currency.
Mister Pointy in exile lives at [link] by the way.

Debate the finer points of upcoming Buffista ballots
A thread for the formal discussion of proposed changes to Buffista policy prior to voting. Only open following an official proposal that has been seconded. We are entirely pointy here so natter is strongly discouraged.
Though I feel like I want to make a filibuster joke.
I'm kind of against discouraging Natter. I'm not saying that we want it to turn into a discussion about cats and dieting, but if this thread is any experience, we're going to need some nattery-type posts for levity's sake, if nothing else.
