Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!  

Site Administration

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

Okay.

The proposal:

Add an icon to our header, replacing the random quote generator, supporting the WGA Strike. The icon looks like this: [link]

The icon would feature our logo, and would add us to a growing list of websites supporting fans4writers. fans4writers is a fan-run organization that pledges to support the writers as a booster club; they deliver goodies to the strikers and march with them on the strike lines.

Buffistas.org would remain autonomous and participate in any strike activities as individuals, without direction from fans4writers. There are no requirements to donate or participate in any way as individuals.

The only community-wide participation this proposal would cover is adding the logo to our site.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

A question that may have been answered upthread, but I was too confused to be sure: Will fans4writers also put up a link to us, or is the linking one-way only?

It looks like they will link to us in a list of fan sites that support the writers.

I'm not comfortable with linking to us. Maybe I'm an elitist, but I don't like random folks in our playground. Seems (to me) that every time we get linked to, we end up having random people who jump into the guacamole.

And some of them keep making asses of themselves, and wear out their welcome and go away. And some of them stay and become valued board members.

What is even happening?

I'm not comfortable with linking to us. Maybe I'm an elitist, but I don't like random folks in our playground. Seems (to me) that every time we get linked to, we end up having random people who jump into the guacamole.

In my opinion, that's more of a problem when a site has linked directly to a Joss or Tim post. If that fans4writers site is just linking to Buffistas.org, I doubt it will garner us much attention. If the motion passes, I would be sort of proud to have our name up there.

Has votes@ been updated. I've got a 3pm (EST) meeting (that's Noon PST), so I'd like to get the ballot up before then.

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

Debet will need to confirm she got the test email, but everything's done on my end.

I think having our name part of the public face of the campaign, not just a statement here, is an important part of supporting the WGA. Not that I expect any particular impact on us one way or another.
