Neither side can see the other point of view.
Except, you know, that the bothered people have all said "Yeah, if you cop to it in the profile, I can cope." I haven't heard anybody say that this harshes their mellow.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

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!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Just to clarify, the profile cop is intended for joke logins, right? And we're cool with the limited privacy logins already discussed, as is, right?

The board has the tools available to deal with it, should it happen again, and one occasion of anything is not something to legislate for. I appreciate that a malicious troll is a serious occasion, but the "differences in humour" reason that dragged this issue over to this side of the board and got it some support, is a different issue than a "malicious troll" issue and it feels like one issue is being stabbed from behind the arras, using the other.
The issue was not really difference of humor, it was IDing posters. No one suggested that the current sockpuppets were trolls. People want to be able to ID sockpuppets or any other multiple log-ins.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Not all of us.
But as I've resolved not to ever mention this issue again, you can count me as abstaining.

and if we aren't gonna write this down as what those who are talking here have consensused to, then how will new posters know about it? And if it not a written "rule" then why should they follow it? And if the refuse to abide by it, then would that qualify as demon-like behavior?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
msbelle, do you consider points of etiquette that are in the ettiquette thingy, hard and fast-ish "rules"?

This is how I see the issue too. I don't think it has anything to do with regulating humor. People can make all the jokes they want. They just need to put their real ID in their sockpuppet profile.

when there is a action - result listed, I do.
- spoilers, natter in Press/Apoc, demon-like behavior, NAFDA, and don;t spam.
I think of all of those as rules/policies of the board.
