It can either be a box on the left or right side like Whedonesque:
Or can go next to the header.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's so not a stretch (hi, connie) to imagine that Buffistas mightn't support anything en masse that I'm not sure why the people who want there to be no or truncated voting either don't think so or don't care.
Sure, connie would probably get outvoted. But I want her to have a chance to participate in our procedure and have her vote. Similarly for everyone who might not have the steel to speak up in the face of all this support.
In the end I think that we are important, and we should respect that, and the vote is part of it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And not to discount our own importance, there's nothing this board does that would be an actual emergency. I mean seriously. It's not like we're voting to close down Gitmo or whatever.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
It's not like we're voting to close down Gitmo or whatever.
We're such slackers.

What is even happening?

I feel like we're too entrenched in process, and get itchy when we're (to my mind) needlessly bureaucratic. It makes me sad that what is essentially a fairly joyful act has to be so orderly (i.e. a group largely made up of writers groupies has to vote whether or not to support the writers). That's my problem. connie's post moots my point.

I hope I'm now done editing that last post. Sheeesh, my typing sucks.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I thought we were going to put a "Fans support the writers" image next to (or maybe at the top of the sidebar - whatever's easiest for Jon) our logo, not replace the one we have now.
Oooh, oooh! What if it replaces the random quote generator in the upper right? 'Cause, y'know, we wouldn't have the quotes without the writers!

Our wings are not tired
My problem with shortening the procedure is that it makes an assumption on unanimity and for me that feels like a dangerous assumption to make. Sure, in this case it may be true, but in the next it may not and this just feels like it is paving the way for bad procedure.
