I like that suggestion, Wolfram.
Me too. It wouldn't blow the joke, but anyone who's bothered can find out whose hand is inside the sock with one click.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm worried that now that it's become a proposal, and we have a clock on the discussion, that it won't be fully hashed out, and forced to a vote, which, if defeated, will make it sort of off limits for discussion for the
Weren't you just the one trusting Betsy? You think she'd do that?
We don't have to vote, you know.

My take is that if people are wanting that environment, it probably already exists somewhere and maybe that is somewhere to join a community. This place has a different feel/environment what-have-you.
Clovis, Ferrets, Zombies, and God have been here as long as I have. I think this IS part of our community vibe.

Have we EVER opened Lightbulbs without ultimately voting?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

In that instance, then there is probably a place that doesn't allow sockpuppets that those who don't like them can go to. But, they don't cause they like it here. Just like the sockpuppets do.
(This is not a personal attack, btw.)

Yes.
ETA: There was at least one proposal withdrawn. Too lazy to find it.

Yes, a proposal was withdrawn. Who wants to Nilly?

In an environment without sound, a lot of the way we judge tone of a post is by the personality of the poster. Words posted by an oldtimer we know may be taken one way, and verbatim words posted by a newbie may be taken completely differently. It really is all relative.
Nicely stated, Wolfram. I agree with this.
I also dislike sockpuppets and would love for them to go away.

Once, I think. Pulled for lack of real interest.
