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'm trying not to get all worked up here, but I really do genuinely believe that process and procedures help things work better.
Me too. I don't think this board would have survived without them. It was a fuck of a lot of hard work to put them in place, but they do what they're supposed to do. I like consensus too, for that matter.
This is the 18th item that has been proposed and then discussed since 2/2003.
What was the 11th (being the only one you didn't mention), just out of curiosity?
shudders in remembrance of the 9th
oh sorry, the 11th was allowing posters to opt in to the American National Corpus.
American National Corpus
Which reminds me of an utterly off topic things--do newbies (ie, folk new since then) know about this?

I think I was already HERE for that one, but I neither remember it nor know what it is.
dunno since these things (votes) are tracked anywhere for reference (I'm working on it though).
People interested in the info can go look at posts # 1066, 1076, and 1090 in Press.
It was opt-in, so it's up to Erinaceous to let newbies know, if she needs more bodies.
From a quick search, newbies don't need to know, because it only applies to a subset of the threads archived at the time of the discussion.
Hey Jon, do you recall if any of the FAQ changes (from the tina f FAQ clean-up) changed policy or were they just clarifications and cleaning up clutter?

Ahh, now I remember. That's right, and I did vote in it.
