'Bring On The Night'
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 am for following the guidelines as they are set forth, especially since nothing changes until that time and nothing needs to be changed right this very second.
We have, by precedent, allowed proposals to be withdrawn without voting.
Are you saying that should not have happened/should not happen here?
Well, we could have Betsy propose that she's a weirdo. We could vote on that.
Doesn't look like the fact of this particular discussion ever got posted in Press, by the way. Past the point of usefulness now, I suppose.
Identifying in profile and adding that to the FAQ seems like a reasonable compromise. Don't particularly feel the need to vote formally on it.
Well, I think a withdrawl of a proposal that leaves the board as is, is different than stopping discussion on a proposal and deciding to make a policy change without a vote.
I am on dial-up and so didn't go all the way through the cheesebutt document, but is there anything in there about what type of board changes require a vote?
At the very least - the proposal needs to be posted in Press to alert anyone who would like to be a part of the discussion. I would hate to stop discussion before that.
I feel like proposing a group hug, but I'll resist. How about some calm, weary smiles of respect and congratulations on solving another one?
Huh. Go to class, and something's proposed and consensed before you can blink.
I dislike the "not in on the joke" feeling that sockpuppets give me, but I'm profoundly uncomfortable with making a rule that says you CANNOT have ANY OTHER LOGIN, you big LOSER (except for these people we've made exceptions for).
I realize the issue is pretty much decided, but I'm with ND and DX and possibly other initialed people.
yes, this is sort of a quick consensing with no announcement. I think there might be more interest in the topic if folks knew it was happening. I'm not saying we have to put it to a vote, but I'd feel a hell of a lot more comfortable if the discussion was on the table long enough for more people to find it, or, better, be alerted to it.
Well, we could have Betsy propose that she's a weirdo. We could vote on that.
I'm good with that.
Well, we could have Betsy propose that she's a weirdo. We could vote on that.
I think we might need preferential voting on this one.
I TOTALLY am a weirdo. No vote needed, it's by acclamation.
