The War thread proposal hasn't had enough seconds to be Lightbulbed.
The how-long-do-we-close-discussions-for proposal has 5 seconds, and Lightbulbs will be opening for that discussion tonight at midnight.
Right?
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

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'm really hesitant to start the discussion about the war thread now. The US officially started bombing yesterday. We have no idea how long it's going to go on or what's going to happen. I'd much rather leave it off for a little while, see what happens, then decide once we have some idea of how discussing the war in Natter and Bitches and wherever else actually works out.

John, lemme 'splain...no there is too much...lemme sum up. We haven't decided anything, I think. But Wolfram's motion still needs a fourth person to second before it can be moved over anyway.
We do, however, have a proposal on the table that has been seconded four times so we should probably reopen that thread and move the discussion of topic moratorium time limits there.

Thrive to spite them
God this is confusing.
How many seconds does it need for an issue to move to the Discussion thread? And if we get that many seconds then why do we have to wait until midnight?

4

Just to keep things neat with counting the days, I think.

It should be opened now for Sophia's proposal. The war thread proposal a) hasn't received enough seconds and b) hasn't been determined to be valid or not, so it's still a going topic here.

A motion needs 4 seconds to be Lightbulbed.
And I don't know why midnight (board time). It just seems like that's the default start and end time for discussions & voting. (Plus, that's what Sophia's post said. So, really, it's her fault.)

askye - We need 4 seconds (so a proposer and then 4 more people). I think Wolfram only has 2 seconds. I don't know why we're waiting 'til midnight though for a discussion if there were enough seconds. That doesn't make sense.
I'd like to recommend we only have one item on the table in the discussion thread at the same time. It seems to me Sophia's proposal should go all the way through the process and discussion (on that item) should close and go to a vote before another topic can get discussed there. Otherwise? We'll get dizzy.
