I'm with the "do it now" folks, but perhaps we could post in press and ask if there are any objections?
I know I was just getting all mushy over in Minearverse, but this seems fairly in line with who we are.
Why couldn't Giles have shackles like any self-respecting bachelor?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Fans4writers is looking to sustain support for as long as the strike lasts. I suspect support will be welcome whenever it occurs.

I posted a link in Press that a discussion was happening. If it seems biased or unfair to anyone, please let me know, and I can change, edit or delete.

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
We're talking about an alliance of sorts with a group that has no Buffistas in its governing board.
If, for example, F4W were to toe tap someone under a bathroom stall and all hell broke loose, we'd have a (loose) affiliation with that.
OTOH, it's a freakin' logo.
OTOOH, we're making a change to our masthead.
My personal opinion is go bullshit consense, choose bullshit consense, but we have these rules in place.

I totally support the idea. How about bullshit consensus, subject to a confirming vote. (I.E., yes we agree that the action you took on our behalf really represents our opinions.)

As much as I'm usually for following protocol, I'm not averse to bullshit consensus in this case.

True, but it's not really an alliance - more of an endorsement. And although we're mighty, we can't be everywhere.
I really like the post the icon first, vote later idea.

Well, we can definately consense on asking for the icon. Does anyone want to make the request, and perhaps ask for a time frame (like, if it takes a few days, we might as well vote.)

This is the only part I'm concerned about doing without a vote. I'm not opposed, but I think we need to respect our process.
