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!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

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.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

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?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

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.

That would require unanimity. We never have that.

Hey! Stop calling me longpants.

But honestly, Sundays are dead days. What's the downside to 48 hours, especially if one usually gets the support in a fraction of that?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I thought that too the first time I saw moveitalongpants. And, I have been calling you that in my head ever since.

Also I echo Dana's request that you not kill me.
