Okay, while lounging at Burrell's place, I had another thought. How do we know when something qualifies as one of the 10? I'm not being dense. I'm actually serious.
What gets my goat lots of the time are the comments like, "Well I find X annoying and irritiating, but I don't know if I think that warrants a warning."
Well, okay. But what are you saying. Warn? Not Warn?
The reason I bring it up is because I see people doing the Defense of Someone with the preface, "I don't like them either."
I'd say that for something to count, it should have to be prefaced with something like, "Count this as one toward warning," or something like that.
What gets my goat lots of the time are the comments like, "Well I find X annoying and irritiating, but I don't know if I think that warrants a warning."
Well for me, I think my comment the other night would have qualified as an absention. Like, "I don't care enough to warn her but I don't mind if you do."
The unclear pronoun that in my sentence above is referencing not the actual actions this time, but not thinking that being annoying warrants a warning.
Do stompies get a vote? Do they get to say, "Yes, I agree X should be warned"?
Will they feel comforable voting?
Personally, I think it would have to be pretty egregious to warrant me stepping out and complaining, unless it was directed straight at me. And if it's
that
egregious, I'm sure 10 people will beat me to it anyway.
I'm pretty comfortable with being excluded from general (but not personal) complaint.
I think I'm confused. If you're asking if I feel that the simple act of being annoying deserves a warning, then no. Not for me anyway. I'm a pissy bitch. I get annoyed easily. Which is why I don't always feel like I'm the best person to contribute to a decision on whether or not someone should be warned/suspended/banned.
As for Stompies, I think that as long as they continue in their current role [unofficial caretakers but not mods] then yes, they should have a vote. I don't know how comfortable they would feel about it though.
bitterchick, I wasn't really asking so much as clarifying what I meant by "that." Damned pronouns will get me everytime.
So if someone wants their voice to be added to The Ten, they should actually say, "Count Me. I want X warned."
edited to delete my freudian slip
Just going for clarity.
Yes. I think we need to be clear in the future. If you say you don't care, know that your vote won't be counted. If you care, say you care.
