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 closed an open italics tag in Sean's post.

Thanks Jon. (whoops)

Plei's 6 months for thread requests, 3 months for evertyhing else

I like this too. Is that a bad thing?

I have perhaps not had enough caffeine yet this morning.

Wimp! I haven't had ANY caffeine!

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.

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.

I agree with Burrell. It's too complicated. One period of time for everything is cleaner and easier.

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.

and so the Ple minions have been pointed out as bad things

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.

Huh. Interesting.

So since I have embraced 6 as the one true choice, I'm not allowed to have an opinion on what else I prefer should 6 not win?
