I think that is a good compromise, Dana. We could also do a truncated voting period or a straight to vote, with discussion happening during the vote.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
The strike will last anywhere from three to nine months.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Could we consensus on it as a preliminary step, make the changes to the logo (or whatever is possible for the admins), and then have the discussion/voting? If it's voted down, we could revert back to the old logo.
Or, could we consense on requesting Buffistas for the sign logo at fans4writers (which would make Cafepress stuff available in addition to the web buttons) and vote before making any changes to this site?

I like aurelia's idea. I would also not be opposed to a bullshit consensus on the whole thing, but I guess that's not a good precedent.

I'm never opposed to bullshit consensus, but I am not Spartacus. Um.

I'm in favor of Dana's idea.

Should I post a link to Allyson's proposal in Press and let people know what is going on?

Why the rush for a strike that's likely going to last months?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It just seems a little silly to me. "We're going to support you! In about a week, after we get the votes counted. Here we come, supporting you! Any second now!"
But if it's not an issue, that's fine. I was just looking for a compromise.

It seems tacky to be a (relative) latecomer to support the writers, when we could just do it now.
