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?
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!

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.
I don't think the discussion will be over at 10 and I'm not sure it should be. Buffistas like to add their 2 cents, and I don't see the good in stopping them.
This is especially true when the process gets to #4, I think.
Again, I'm just feeling things out, and not really married to my opinions just yet.
Okay, I like the idea that after 6 months of good behavior, you get a clean slate. That was a concern in the back of my head that I kept forgetting to mention.
Also, would it be possible to make it policy that once the issue gets picked up in Bureaucracy, it gets dropped in the original thread? This way we let the thread get back to its topicy goodness and we're not debating on two fronts.
I like that idea, bitterchick.
After the notice, that's fine by me, but what about when the request to be met in bureaucracy isn't followed up on?
I like the 6-month good behavior exemption, and the idea that once something is in bureaucracy it gets dropped where it started.
what about when the request to be met in bureaucracy isn't followed up on?
I think it depends. If the alleged offender says, "Look I don't want to talk about this in Bureaucracy. I was wrong, I'm sorry," then hey, our work is done. But I think a refusal to address the issue at all and not even show up in Bureaucracy to try and work things out is a statement in and of itself.
Also, if the offensive behavior continues in the thread? That's a whole different animal and should be dealt with in the original thread as the situation unfolds.
ETA: Or maybe not? I dunno what to do in that case.
I like the 6 mth clean slate deal.
bitterchick has a point about someone not even showing up to discuss that they are causing problems, the lack of particpation should be taken into consideration.
Also, I agree with 48hrs.
