msbelle, while you're at it, I'd like a really hot chauffeur to drive me places whenever I want, and a big bag of money, 'kay?
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

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!

Nutty,
I think the problem is, that is not what I proposed. The way I understand it, and I am open to input here, is that some one proposes something in Bureau. People second that. It comes here so people can debate the pros and cons of it as a proposal. I think adding things like time that a warning is active and steps from warning to suspension alter the proposal beyond what was posted.
I regret now that I did not cover all issues in my original post. I am really all for just taking over, but I don't think that is what is what the board will tolerate.

I think that what we decided was that the original proposer can modify the proposal. That way things brought up in here can get in, but we don't have to try to get the group to agree on how to word it.

I agree with Hil. I think you can modify, but I'd rather you didn't. Doesn't mean you can't.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I have no comment on msbelle's pants.
However, I like the proposal.
I'mk not sure if we're talking length of time or not. If we ARE, I favor 6 months after a warning and then clean slate. I also favor 10 Buffistas who are offended.
If we are NOT talking length of time yet, or number of Buffistas, then ignore the preceding paragraph.
But my stance is firm on msbelle's pants.

You're getting footprints on them Steph! Besides, you shouldn't be standing. You should be resting.

Heather, would you be against the time period thing even if it was worded as 6 months or 2 months? I tend to draft things in a yes/no set-up, but time period could be a choice. ONLY a choice of 2 things though - do not get me started.

I am lying on my stomach. But I am not lying about being in favor of the proposal. (Man, that was cheesy.)
What IS the next step, after we vote on this proposal? Do we vote on a length of time for the warning to be in effect? Or do we draft the wording of the Official Warning?

drafting of the official warning should be going on at the same time as this discussion. It should not be voted on IMO, but should be agreeable to the stompies.
Next step would be one person put up a proposal about time of warnings and procedure from warning to suspension (unless I include those on this ballot also) - everyone else start requesting people to be warned.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'm against adding it because...well maybe it's moot now that there doesn't seem to be much of an argument about the 1st proposal. I just didn't want arguments about the time issue getting caught up in arguments about the procedure.
