You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Good thing I checked because I was setting up Gaming 1, too.

I always post in here before setting up a new thread for just that reason!

That was my plan, too.

All is well that ends in pizza.
ita's link in Press to "your set profile page" sent me to the login page.
I suspect because she used buffistas.org instead of www.buffistas org.

So there's really no good time for this (only less inconvenient times for me). I wanted to discuss the issue that arises in every thread proposal dicussion - proliferation. I think this one issue provokes the most hurt feelings and is avoidable. I suggested in the last Lightbulbs discussion ( Wolfram "Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!" Apr 18, 2008 10:10:30 am PDT ) - the possibility of coming up with a "thread creation threshold" (thanks Kristen) to try and minimize this acrimony.
The problem with the current system is that any proposed thread gets created provided it gets the four seconds, a majority and a quorum. This requires active debating in Lightbulbs over every proposal to ensure only appropriate threads make it through. If we could create guidelines for what those "appropriate" threads might be - even if the guidelines were broad - I think it would significantly cut down on the nature of the debates, narrowing the argument from whether any thread should be created to whether a particular thread fit the guidelines.
Before discussing my thresholding proposal, do we think this is something we should do? Do we think this will be useful, or is this "cure" going to do more damage than the "disease"? Are there other "cures"? Is there really a "disease"?

Well, first, I think that we need to identify what (if any) the base issue with proliferation is. Is it bandwith? Is it fractioning of the thread? Something else?
