Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

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.

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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I'm with Burrell. One time limit is enough.

The reason I was in favor of setting up this system is so that topics don't keep getting raised every few months. I don't see why thread requests are different from other issues. But maybe I'm seeing the issue through my six-months-is-the-only-true-answer tinted glasses.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I agree with Burrell. It's too complicated. One period of time for everything is cleaner and easier.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
One rule for everything
Yeah, one rule to ring them all.
Sorry.
fwiw, I vote six. Go six. Choose six.
And I agree that in the case of truly extraordinary circumstances (which we can't plan for or hypothesise at this point, but will recognise if they smack us in the face with a wet fish) then we can address it as it arises.

It seems like we don't have consensus on the alternatives. I honestly don't think people who favor six months should be pushing for three months as the alternative if six months does not pass. If you absolutely think that you like six months better than any other alternative, but also strongly feel that three months should be the alternative if six months doesn't pass (rather than four) then you are really saying that you are not happy with two alternatives and want three.
I think the majority of people who don't want six months prefer four to three. If we are only having two alternatives and not using pmmmph then the second alternative should be the one that those who don't want six months favor. Otherwise you are making on heck of a strong argument for pmmph.
In other words you are not gong get a consenus on a ballot of:
1) 6 months
2) Wrong
If you want a consensus on two choices, then the people who favor choice A) shoulld not be part of the decision on what choice B) is unless they are willing to have a choice (C.
