I agree that the next vote should be on how long a discussion gets shut down.
I'll be a third second.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

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.

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.

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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
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.

I second that, too, and feel we should throw out 3 months as an option but add on the clause that if there is a signficant change in circumstances, we can move to reopen. I think the example I used last time is: if an Alias thread gets shot down, we close discussion for 6 months. But if two months later, Joss takes over Alias and Willow joins the CIA, someone can move to reopen the conversation due to the change in circumstance.
You've just murdered your own grandfather.
And he was already dead. I'm SO confused.
