'Heart Of Gold'
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!
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.
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.

Ok.
Again, I think we can make changes to Etiquette by consensus.
Changes to Policy by vote.
I think we should deal with this as an Etiquette question.
I am one hundred percent in this corner.
still watching the debate though it seemed settled very amicably last night
I feel like I need to point out that a few people coming to apparent agreement is not the same as the issue being settled for the whole board. I didn't even read this discussion until today, and it bothers me to think that it was all "settled" before I had voiced an opinion, or even formed one.
Which is not to say that I am against consensus. We seem to have one as far as "sockpuppets should have real IDs in their profiles" goes. How to implement that is still under debate.
can anyone tell me what the differences are between some of the entries on the etiquette and the policies?
Where do the policies live?
Personally, I think the policies live in the FAQ. They are hard and fast, we mean it, so do it. The etiquette, to me, is suggestions as to how to get along with everyone.
I think the policies live in the FAQ
I think spoilers are the only policies in the FAQ. Which is why we need a cleaned up FAQ, and an actual policy document.

Ah yes, I'm noticing this.
Where's the thingy that says "You can't resigter as Tim Minear or we shave your head" ?
Isn't the etiquette section where there is the policy against persistent demon-like behavior?
The FAQ has seemed to me to be more informational, and the Etiquette thing more expectational, if that makes any sense.

Yeah, except we want the names in there so people won't feel left out of a joke. Are we going to make Teppy and Perkins explain their whole "You suck" riff, that obviously happened when they spent time together? I'm left out of that joke.
