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?"

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!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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 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"
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.

I can't even.
I think it is inappropriate and insensitive that we continue to use the pejorative term "sockpuppet" for these discussions and suggest that we adopt the term "differently-identitied".
Either that, or Cockpuppet.

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?
Cockpuppet.
Between that and
I'ma reiterate what I've said many times in the past: penii are weird as hell. I mean, I like them, don't get me wrong, but they're weird-looking and -- no external body part should move on its own like that, as often as it does.
I'm sensing a trend. Also, snerk.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
When a sockpuppet appears I could shout "Hey Bozo! It's customary to disclose your board name in your profile," or something.
if someone said this to me, I'd say "it's not written anywhere. how the hell do you crazy b.orgers expect anyone to know what is expected?"

The whole numberslutting thing is customary around here too. Do we have a line item for that?
