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!

Yay for Sophia.

Looks good, Sophia. I have one question, however. Is the survey directed only at those who vote NO on 6 months?

I'm wondering, though. Just because I think 4 would be a great number (hypothetically), I'll probably vote yes on six because it's close enough for me to support and get a decision made. But shouldn't my 4 be counted in the opinion survey if six doesn't end up passing?

Personally, I do in fact believe that Six is the One True Number. But I wouldn't want to assume that everyone who votes yes is as devout as me.

I am just throwing this out there, but if you don't like 6, vote NO. Only if you do like 6, vote YES.

It's just a survey. If six doesn't pass, there'll be more discussion, and those who voted six, but like other numbers better can say so at the time.

I'm very much breathing. Also calm. I sounded harsh didn't I? I didn't mean to, at all. In fact, I was going for the opposite. I'm sorry. Very sorry.

I edited out the parts in that prior post that sounded un-breathing, because I really didn't mean them to.

Not a problem, I was just wondering about why we decided to limit it.

Because frankly, even if the number were 2, 9, or 11, I'd probably be voting yes in the hope of getting through this one.

But I'm happy with it as it stands if that's what the decision was.

I printed and got caught up last night and have 5 mins. left on my lunch break. I trotted here to advocate for 4, because there was a request backthread asking 3 and 4s to come on it and advocate away. But there're ~125 more messages that I just scanned/don't really have time to read; and we've gone from 3, 4 and 6 on the table to having only 6 on the table? And you're posting it tonight?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yes. If 6 does not work for you, vote no.

Okay. VOTE NO against 6.

The Phoenix started about 6 months ago. Think about how much discussion has gone on in 6 months. That's a long time to have something banned from being brought up.

Natter 6 started Dec. 28. Today is March 25 and we're on Natter 10. 4 full Natter threads (almost) = 3 months.

I think that 3 months is too little time, and 6 too much.

Four would mean that instead of twice a year, items can be looked at again three times a year. Four = about 6.5 Natter threads. And that's about right.

VOTE NO on 6.
