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.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

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!

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.

You can propose it in B. for the next discussion and vote, right?
It probably is at least worth discussing.

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.

Hey, amyth, that was an accident (unlike my 4444 in spoilers and my 9999 in bureau)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
part of me really gets what Heather says, and then part of me sees that without everything spelled out, we basically don't have a real policy.
I'm not sure everyone gets it, but the idea of going back to bureau and opening a disussion on
1) how long warnings stay in effect
2) what constitutes moving a warning to a suspension (cause this is next to come up, mark my word)
makes me want to pull each and every one of my hairs out.
