Thanks for splainin' me. I went off to try to catch up in other posts. I took an hour in bureacracy and I was trying to deal with a whiny baby at the same time. That could explain why it took so long to catch up in one thread, now that I think of it.
Yes, I just meant that I'd like the clock re-set at some point, and 6 months seems reasonable. So that one warning at month 1, if no other problems, then not suspension at 6 months but another warning.
I have a headache, so, basically, what you all said.
sorry, cereal - also fine with 48 hours, or even 72, but not longer.
I think I'm just gonna nod vigorously at whatever msbelle posts.
48 hours = good.
6 months gets you a reset = good
My only reason for wanting a shorter time period is that I don't think we need enough time for everyone to weigh in -- we just need to find out if we have enough concerned people to warrent the warning.
Right. I'm thinking what Jesse is thinking -- if there aren't 10 indignant people within 24 hours, then it's not worth a warning. Extending it to 48 strikes me as lowering the bar.
Because, really, what I've seen so far in our various stompinesses is that 15 people will jump over to Bureaucracy at the same time, or that 1 person will, and suddenly 25 people say "I was thinking that too and didn't dare say it!" So, I am for the shorter time.
All sounds reasonable. As I noted in Bureaucracy, I would like clarification that the people who have brought it up in-thread needn't be the person who brings it to bureaucracy. Cause I can envision a situation where the poster has upset lots of people but no one wants to the be bad guy. So someone, like me, posts in Bureaucracy.
Kat, I thought I made that clear in my new wording? no?
Ok. Jesse and Nutty got me. I was ready to move over to 48, because I thought maybe I was just being too pushy, but when oh when do we not have 10 posters within a 24 hour period?
if there aren't 10 indignant people within 24 hours
Looking at the stats, one would be ill-advised to get pissed off early Sunday morning. Pretty much a tiny fraction of the traffic of the rest of the week.
Yeah, that's reasonable, Kat. If one person attempts a social enforcement on-thread, and it clearly fails, then I don't mind if it's someone else who brings it to Bureaucracy. After all, the whole point is that it's more than one person with an axe to grind.
when do we not have 10 posters within a 24 hour period?
That would require unanimity. We never have that.
