Here is a formal proposal for the next vote (assuming it gets four seconds).

All decisions made within the last three months are subject to a waiting period before being reopened. This waiting period shall be the standard Buffista post-vote waiting period, and shall begin from the passage of this proposal.

Okay, so what I posted above is what's working right now. Yes? Except possibly for the below:

no other proposals may be formalized. They can be hashed out and maybe even put in queue (?), but not formalized so as not to cause Light Bulb traffic.

Wolfram, I do sort of understand your concern about time, but you've seen how hairy and off-topic we can get trying to debate a single point. Trying to debate two at once? That way lies madness. If we really want to talk out a proposal, and we really want to let everyone contribute (i.e. have a longish talk period), then this is the only practical way I can think of to make it work.

I mean, imagine if the Math Talk of a few days ago were trying to happen at the same time as "Should we have a thread about Nutty's cottage cheese butt?" -- imagine all the math I would have to wade through to find backhanded compliments about my butt! That would never do. Moreso, if there were any ambiguity or need to debate the 2nd topic seriously.

Seconded

Seconded again.

seconded.

I want to marry Nutty.

And fourthed, although I sort of kind of think it can be added to what is under vote now?

Seconded for Betsy's.

What are we seconding, exactly?

One Lightbulb topic at a time, or grandfathering pre-vote decisions?

grandfathering.

I was seconding grandfathering pre-vote decisions. I didn't see an actual proposal for one Lightbulb topic at a time; I thought that was already implied.
