Mal ,'Objects In Space'
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!
If it feels good, do it. To me. (sounds porny, but isn't. Unless you're into that sort of thing).
Steph's not around, is she?
...But seriously, folks. Susan, I think we might be able to reopen a discussion by acclamation (sp?) if something really out of the ordinary happens.
I agree a year is too long.
And I propose that Sean K needs to stop offering to take our abuse. It's indecent. t /faux propriety
we will reopen a discussion when I say so!
Umm.. No...
we will reopen a discussion if a consensus is that a major factor has changed?
I'm thinking that emergency re-opening would have to be brought up in Bureaucracy. Or something.
Though, I'm a bit worried about reopening discussion due to a change in circumstances because it seems like a big easy loophole to just talk about the verbotten subject, even though it's been shelved.
Not that I can think of an easily acceptable set of standards to apply.
There's that 'c' word again...
But yeah, that sounds reasonable. Some kind of "barring unforseen major events" phrase should be built into the final proposal language.
Well, since we are an ME board, i would say we could reopen a disucssion because of changes in the ME universe (i.e. Joss starts a new show or maybe even Jane goes to Gilmore Girls?)
Yes, I am taking any and all abuse, so that my Buffistas do not aim it at each other.
Very well. Please step over here to your right, where the rack and cat o' nine tails await.
Three and six, and what if Sean *likes* being fucked by angry Buffistas?
I vote for a choice between 3 and 6 months. A year is just too long, IMO. And I know we're all into the spelling out everything, but I think if something really momentous happened that caused us to want/need to revisit a closed issue, we'd know it. Limiting revisting to Jossverse issues would rule out the scenario someone posited above if Dubya declared the US a dictatorship with him as head dic-tator. I think maybe something vague in the proposal about the possibility of revisiting closed decisions in extreme/extraordinary circumstances should suffice.

Sounds like a mutually beneficial relationship.
