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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Can we call the thread something like Voting Issues or Voting Discussion, not just Discussion? I don't think the one word is clear enough.

I like this or the Lightbulbs. Which does contain a multitude of layers.

I don’t post much, in part because I am hesitant to enter into and possibly disturb the community you have here. It is, as you know, generally a very nice place and always a very funny place, and I think you’re quite justified in being protective of it. I think I have been lurking long enough (several months, actually) to have internalized many of the rules. For example, the other day I found myself thinking, with some annoyance, “someone’s nattering in COMM.” I have read the FAQ and the Site Etiquette. While the policies are in there, I think it would be helpful to have, spelled out in an obvious place, a “geopolitical ramifications of being mean” section to which you could point offenders with a link. Perhaps it could just be a condensed version of the Etiquette unacceptable behaviors, along with the banning policy. This may be a part of developing a more codified “how to kill a troll” policy, as you’re discussing.
And I propose Discussion: Shout about it, when you’ve got to choose (Okay, I’m old. Simon and Garfunkel old.)
