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.

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!

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."

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

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?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
FWIW, I think Typo Boy raises a valid point--the Buffistas as presently constituted certainly wouldn't gang up, but it wouldn't hurt to overbuild our "constitution" a bit just in case that ever changes. Better to have the concept in place than to have to spend 500 posts of Bureaucracy on it if a problem ever arises.
