I think Cindy's #1 and #2 need to be put on a ballot.

I think the ballot needs to state that people are voting on the possibility of one thread. If most want a new thread at all, a runoff of the top 4 options across both questions will start after the first vote is counted.

Cindy's ballot makes sense, except for the need for a runoff. Do we have anything about runoffs?

Kat, I think the run-off vs. preferential voting was something we decided to take as it came, rather than lock ourselves into one method. I think we decided that was up to the proposer, but I can't find any rules regarding the situation.

Here's the voting FAQ: [link] and the Cheesebutt document: [link]

le nubian, I think you're right that the ballot should limit us to one thread. I'm glad we're going to get to vote on spoiler policy when we're thumbs upping or downing a thread.

I'm back.

Do we have final wording?

We also need a vote counter, which I'll be if no one else steps up.

I'll do the counting,

Profile address, Perk?

sure, that works.

Redirect complete.

Still awaiting final wording.

I think that if we do a runoff, the runoff needs to have the option of no new thread.

I am very concerned that the structure of the vote (with all the different options) will allow for a thread to be created that a majority (over 50%) of the voters do not want. I do not think this would be a Good Thing, but YGTMV.

yep. I agree.

Okay, let me just cut and paste what Cindy did above.
