I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!

tag: A thread open only to discuss proposals on the floor for voting. If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

Blurb: We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy. (Which we voted on!)

I liked Whip Appeal because, you know, I'm the Whip. But the lightbulbs one works for me as well so you can toss my vote in that direction.

Yup. [EDIT: to Burrell] Thread titles aren't going to be voted on. I can't quote chapter and verse but it's been said many times.

I mean "voted on" in our system that is. Mr Poll is presumably still cool with people.

from Nutty's post.

And also, I do think we can revisit things at appropriate times, such as when the time limit is up or when circumstances change. Talk ing about a general TV thread now is to me, not necessary. Talking about it next year at this time may be.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Ah, heck.

Okay, I CAN'T get it to stick in the right section.

It's up, but there's a bug in the creation part.

Can we move the voting thread to the right-hand box? With Bureaucracy, Press and etc.?

See previous mention. There's a bug.

I've mentioned it in BBB, too.

We introduced a voting system because people weren't happy with the old "consensus" system, but we never said decisions of the old system could be revisited.

But you're making the decision to not revisit old "consensus decisions" by consensus, which is the old way. The new way would be to vote:

Should decisions made previously by consensus be closed or open to voting under the new voting mechanism?

I think only ita and/or Jon B can do that.
