Well, "whatever-it-is" is "offending someone," right? So theoretically, if someone gets a warning for, I don't know, calling me a poopyhead, and then two months later someone complains about them repeatedly posting spoilers in the show topics without whitefont, they'd still get suspended even if they'd been very good about not calling anyone a poopyhead.

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!

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
It just seems to me that, if the suspension is for 2 months, we shouldn't have the walking-on-egshells period be THREE TIMES that length.

Frankly, yes. Because the second thing would have been followed with inthread corrections and the whole 9 too. That's a pattern of disrespectful behavior IMO.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Actually, IIRC, adding the time limit to the vote is up to msbelle.
Yeah, it's my call, but I want opinions. I may be power hungry, but I promise not to just throw in all my pet projects like Congress does (although everyone wear pink day would be good).
Galdalfe, how do you think you would have responded if you were confronted about one of your pissy posts in thread?(maybe this happened and I am unaware).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But, Gandalfe, it's not a walking-on-eggshells period. It's an Acting Right period. You can see that we, as a group, do not have a tendency to jump on people for every little thing.

Yes, this. Why is that so much to ask, especially after all the prior steps and discussion?

I like the idea that the warning goes as soon as 10 is reached. If that is 10 minutes, then so be it, if it takes all 48 hours because it's a weekend or holiday or my birthday or somesuch, then that is cool too. But no 10 by 48 hours 1 minute and tough titties, no warning at that moment as a result of the instance or build up of instances brought up.
msbelle, I like this.
Depends on how seriously you see a warning. The fact that it's one warning and then a suspension is what makes me feel nervous about this.
Warnings only happen when people are called on something and don't settle it themselves, in fact, refuse to settle it themselves, so this doesn't bother me.

Right, okay. I wasn't trying to argue whether that was a good or a bad thing, actually, just trying to make clear that someone could indeed refrain from doing whatever got them warned and still get booted.

Well then, to restate, I don't want time limits added to this vote, because I want a process first.

I get you Katie. I'm glad you brought it up, because it made me think about it, and I hadn't before.
