You know what's weird? Is that, as Jess (I think) pointed out, 6 months ago was the site's birth, and that feels like foreverago, but 3 months ago was when mieskie was suspended, and that feels like yesterday.
Not to me.
Yeah - but I think the people who support six should defer to the people who want a lower alternative on what the alternative should be. Four months has a better chance of beating six than three months. And I do think six is too long.
Wrod.
Ballot:
1) 6 months
2) 4 months
3) fnord
I change my vote to fnord.
Although in a perfect world, that would be whitefonted.
Edit, but seriously, I still think that quarterly or biannually is the best way to go.
So, I'm firm with three/six.
Or some combination, where three for everything BUT new threads, and six for new threads.
Anything other than an integral number of months will just get confusing.
-7 months!
I want 6 months, for no better reason (although I think it's a damn fine reason) than it'll make Bureaucracy ever-so-slightly easier to read than would 3 or 4.
Pi months! Pi months!
Only after months of Pi
Let the digits be our cry

Sorry, sorry.
As for real content, I'm actually intrigued by Plei's 6 months for thread requests, 3 months for evertyhing else, but I wonder what else we'll be voting on, other than thread creation.

Er, thread uncreation (When is it time to end a thread?), thread reorganization (Should X and Y be combined into one thread?) both come to mind, official banning procedures (if we decide to codify them). So I can think of a few other things.

Thanks Burrell, I thought there might be things like that, but I just wasn't coming up with any. I have perhaps not had enough caffeine yet this morning.

I like this too. Is that a bad thing?

Wimp! I haven't had ANY caffeine!
Plei's 6 months for thread requests, 3 months for evertyhing else
Me no like. Too complicated. One rule for everything. If we need to get bendy about the rules later, we can.
I'm with Burrell. One time limit is enough.
