Actually, it might help me separate the 'Face from that one guy. OK, I'm in!
Buffy: I was regrouping. Spike: You were about to be regrouped into separate piles.
'Potential'
Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
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.

Voting 1: Whip Appeal
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 terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Voting 1: Whip Appeal
At the risk of sounding utterly clueless, what on earth does this title mean?

Secondly, I won't say any more about the emotional issues I raised. I'm a little disappointed that the actual Bureacracy issues got lost in there, to whit: I was unhappy with the announcement, both the wording and the decision not to put it in Press.

It's the title of an r&b song from 1989 or 90 by Babyface.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I like the Dead Horse title, because that's so what's gonna happen. Or maybe Plei's Like Sartre, Only Longer (or whatever it was).
