I just can't get excited about all the apathy.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

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!

I think we're waiting for confirmation that the votes are getting to Laura properly.

I need to go to bed, so the ballot is up at [link]
Here's the final text:
Proposed: that we close the existing Buffy and Angel threads, and open a new combined thread. The name of this combined thread will be "Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!"
Note: This is the name of only the first "Buffy and Angel" thread. The next thread would be titled "Buffy and Angel 2: <some other witty saying>".

I think generalizing all sockpuppeting as cruel or nasty or childish is a big mistake. Sockpuppeting may have the potential to get out of hand, and has on occassion, but I wouldn't characterize most of the SPing as anything other than good humor.
On the other hand, SPing is unnecessary, and its potential to be annoying may far outweigh its benefits, and I think I would support a no SPing rule with a Sang Sacre exception.

Our wings are not tired
Posting has the potential to get out of hand. Yet we generate an awful lot of posts.
Where do we draw the line? I'm kinda tired of all this line drawing actually.

Without posting we wouldn't be much of a posting board, would we?
We can draw the line where the burden on the community is, in my opinion, minimal.
ND, if you don't mind me asking, why is the board becoming un-fun lately?

Sneaking in to grab the mike.
Getting annoyed about sockpuppets to the point of forcing debates and votes strikes me as the most trivial use of post time I can imagine.
If people become annoying then we have the means in hands to deal with it. When will the debate come around to content of taglines or the format of IDs?
When it comes to a vote, I'm voting for sockpuppets.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yes, this. Except I don't recall any time that did nasty. The annoyance factor seems to vary dramatically.
