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 agree that the next vote should be on how long a discussion gets shut down.
I'll be a third second.
Seconded.
You've just murdered your own grandfather.
Actually, he died before I was born or thought of.

I think 1 year is too long. I don't have a solid opinion on the other two.
Do we need another? Second, in case.
Also, i is confusing and rediculous, but we need to have some freeddom to revisit old decisions within reason. for example, on Salon we decided not to have a natter thread. When we got to WX, we did. So when we went back to Salon, we changed out minds and created natter. If we stood by that decision made three years ago, we wouldn't have natter now.
That's why there's a time limit on revisiting. After the limit's up, we can discuss it again.
Good God please excuse my typing.
Who shall second me?
Allyson? I've got your back, girl.
I sympathise with Wolfram's wish - based only on having read these recent posts on the subject - because I do feel pretty strongly about the war and having one location in which to discuss it is appealing. But, that said, I can see (from reading the recent posts) that it would likely be a red flag to trolls and could disociate individuals from their political stance and generally make this little world considerably less pleasant. Regardless, though - if it was discussed before and ruled out, I'm happy to go with that. If I have a powerful urge to discuss politics, I'll hit GuardianUnlimited.
