Catching up...
These two things are indirect contradiction with each other, unless you presume that some significant portion of respondants don't think creating a greater threshold for thread creation is the same as revisiting the voting rules.
I understand what you mean, but in my head in my head "revisiting the voting rules" meant eliminating no preference, changing the # for a quorum, shortening the time period, or otherwise altering the who/what/why/how of all votes.
I'm not sure that I'd consider it revisiting the rules if you made that kind of change for one particular type of proposal. Like, if you said for new thread proposals only , the quorum is 60 instead of 42.
And beyond that, you could make it harder for new threads to be created in other ways. It might mean saying, "Only 1 new thead can be created in any 3 month period," or "In order to propose opening a new thread, you must also ask for another thread to be closed" or "if the measure passes, everyone who voted yes has to send ita a dollar." That sort of thing doesn't change the voting process.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
You know, in a case of complete esprit d'escalier, I'm going to try this again.
Although there is one type of person who meets ita's definition of NOT-a-lurker, but not victor's -- the person who has donated money to the board but never posts.
Lurkers with Privileges.
I feel better now ....

Yeah, but I've been here the longest. In case anyone's forgotten.

Oh, you are not going to make me pull out proof.
And "here" equals "the Buffy threads back on TT". There was life before the Phoenix, though it seems hard to believe.

So there was Agnes and then there was Dana?

The funny thing is, I don't think I ever posted with Agnes. I came into the thread right around the beginning of third season. Um, the episode where Cordelia gets impaled and they fakeout her funeral at the end. I can't remember the name any more.
God, I'm going to get kicked off the board for failing Buffy 101.
