Denise, if you don't think you can get here, email me. Maybe I can help. Heck, email me anyhow.

Cindy, is that also a ticky box?

It is now, Kat.

msbelle, maybe a post in Press?

---

SHOULD I POST IT ANYWHERE ELSE?

I think a link to it should maybe go in Natter, Bitches, Minearverse and the open show threads. I usually hate spamming the board, and love Press because it saves us that. I don't know. Definitely it should go in Press at the least.

I think that's a good poll, msbelle. Thanks to you, askye, Hec, and anyone else who helped craft it.

---

askye, Hec, and Sean need the thanks.

Well done, msbelle. The main comment I have is on the question in the Policy/Procedure section. The question as worded seems rather vague. For example, I'd be open to re-visiting the voting rules in the sense that I'd be willing to consider a proposal brought by someone else. But I don't see a need to revamp the rules wholesale.

Possibly --

1. Would you like to see a change in the voting rules? Y/N

2. If so, what issue(s) would you like to discuss? (text box)

On a lesser scale, you might want to consider rephrasing Question 5 under New Threads/Board Change to "If we do create a check on thread creation, what should it be?" To allow those who don't want a change to express a preference.
