And when they say "I don't want to. Stop yelling at me." what happens next?
Blocking. Thank you, coders!
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

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!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

It does seem that between blocking and our policies for dealing with "demon-like behaviour" we have good tools in place to deal with sock-puppets.
If this goes to vote, one of the options needs to be for no change in board policy on this.
I also think that it could be a simple addition to the registration info that doesn't even mention sock-puppets, but merely says something along the lines of "Users with multiple accounts are requested to make a note they they are the same person in the user profile"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Clearly. Wouldn't a vote have to be change something or don't?

My experience around here is that all things need to be stated explicitly. The vote ballot has no requirement to have a "no change" option. I'm merely making sure that if we go that route that it makes it onto the ballot.

I just don't understand how it would not have a "no change" option. Isn't it going to be "Let's add this to the etiquette, yes or no?"

There is no requirement for that. The ballot could easily read:
Option one:
Change board policy to no double log-ins.
Option Two:
Board faq is changed to add [faq verbage inserted here]
I want to make sure there is a third option
Option 3:
No change.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Doesn't affect what's on the ballot.

Well, we don't have that right now Cindy and I'm trying to work within the system here.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I haven't been vocal about the entire situation/discussion because it didn't really bother me too much. The March/Universe SP's were funny because of the conversations going on in Bitches, so I didn't mind. As someone mentioned earlier, though, it can create an out-of-the-loop feeling for those who don't figure out who the real person is in other scenarios. [And honestly, because of the short time that I've been involved on chat boards, I didn't even know there was a name for it.]
In any case, I feel that the rules that are in place are adequate to deal with any problems that the SP's might cause, and by going with NoiseDesign's suggestion we are making a general statement about multiple accounts being acknowledged and not putting the specific idea of "sockpuppets" into someone's head.
