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

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!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
1. Should we have a new thread that covers Fall TV (covering new series that debut in September or October)?
a. No
b. Yes, with no whitefont at all. ever.
c. Whitefont (with show title in black font) for 7 days. Then fade to black.
d. Whitefont (with show title in black font) current season discussion.
e. Whitefont (with show title in black font) all the time.
f. Yes. I'm indifferent to whitefont rules.
g. No Opinion.
2. Should we have a new Natter TV thread (covering all tv series - new and continuing that aren't covered in separate threads)?
a. No
b. Yes, with no whitefont at all. ever.
c. Whitefont (with show title in black font) for 7 days. Then fade to black.
d. Whitefont (with show title in black font) current season discussion.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Okay, I added an option to include those who want the thread, but couldn't care less about whitefont rules. I might be the only one who fits in this category.

What is even happening?
I think adding that option has the potential to further fracture the vote, le nubian. Part of the issue is that our voting isn't just structured so that the option with the most votes wins; an option has to get a simple majority (50% of the votes + 1 more vote) to win.

Maybe this is too complicated but...
What if we gave people the right to vote for more than one option? Then we could have a runoff between all the options, if any, that received more than 50% of the vote.
Hopefully, this would encourage people to vote for whichever options they found acceptable, rather than just their favorite option.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Jon, okay. that would be fine with me.
Cindy, but I'm assuming we will have a runoff. The reason I included that line is that there wasn't really an option for me except "no opinion" which really doesn't reflect what I want.

Okay. I think I was probably hoping that if enough people want the thread, enough will also want the same kind, which is probably completely silly of me, in the first place.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
After the results are in, if it won't kill anyone, I wouldn't mind having day or two discussion of how to word the runoff ballot.

le nubian, I think we'll only have a run-off if one of your options on the first ballot does not win by a simple majority. Wouldn't it just be between the top two options from the first ballot?

Here is the ballot I'm thinking of putting up. Comments?
-----
le nubian has proposed a new TV Thread. Because there was disagreement about the spoiler rule in the thread, and several Buffistas opined that they would only want a thread if it adhered to a particular spoiler rule, we are structuring the vote as follows:
- Vote "Yes" for every option that would be acceptable to you. You may vote yes on as many options as you like.
- If you want the thread but don't care what the spoiler policy is, vote "Yes" in every option.
- If you do not want the thread at all, vote "No" in every option.
If more than one option receives a majority of yes votes, then there will be a runoff to decide which thread and spoiler policy is created.
1. We should have a new thread that covers Fall TV (covering new series that debut in September or October) and it should have the following spoiler policy:
a. No whitefont at all. ever.
(yes/no/no opinion)
b. Whitefont (with show title in black font) for 7 days. Then fade to black.
(yes/no/no opinion)
c. Whitefont (with show title in black font) current season discussion.
(yes/no/no opinion)
d. Whitefont (with show title in black font) all the time.
(yes/no/no opinion)
2. We should have a new Natter TV thread (covering all tv series - new and continuing that aren't covered in separate threads) and it should have the following spoiler policy:
