Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

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 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.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

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.

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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Yeah, it's my call, but I want opinions.

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

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

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

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

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).

IIRC, I bitched back more, explained what I meant, and we all went on with it. Wasn't one of those in this very thread? May have been.

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.

But, for the person who it's happening to, assuming that they want to remain part of this community, it will feel like having to walk on eggshells, never knowing if saying one thing wrong will get them kicked out.

If time limits seem like they're going to be a sticky place, I'm siding with Heather on this. The process is really more important.

If it's going to be a killer, then we can wait, by all means. In fact, yeah, maybe we should. As long as we get that done SHORTLY after this vote is finished.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

You can propose it in B. for the next discussion and vote, right?

It probably is at least worth discussing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Honestly, if it's that hard for this hypothetical person not to anger large groups of people that they feel as if they're "walking on eggshells" to avoid it, I don't think 6 months or 2 months will make a difference.
