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!

"...and that calls for some hard-hitting, potentially violent SCIENCE!"

I've always wanted to do that thing where you light a whole trail of gas with your cigarette and blow up a car or something. Can that be part of it?

Please?

Only if you can find the original poster to rewrite the proposal.

Buffistas have never used a can of gas for efficiency. There has always been consensus on this, and we grandfathered it into the by-laws. We refuse to support the man, yo, and his incessant campaign to keep us leaning upon the foul crutch that are fossil fuels. Besides, it's smelly. So just namaste, you.

This is a false consensus, run through by a bunch of 'Green Kids' while I was taking a nap and fails to take into account my uniquely valid perspective as a Clueless MoMo. I am offended by your blanket statements about fossil fuel users, and will take it over to Bureaucracy so it can come back here in another 24 hours.

This is what happens when you're trying to duplicate 2 season's worth of Buffy VCDs for someone. Do not attempt this at home. All sarcasm above my own. Opinions stated above does not remotely reflect the policy of management, Buffistas, or Small Furry Creatures from Alpha Centauri

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

I have seen Jesse not-in-a-cowboy-hat. So I move that that proposal be changed to "Jesse SHOULD always wear a cowboy hat," in which case I vote yes.

Burning is automatic if the bannee is is a WITCH

I propose that the use of ASSCAPS in conjunction with the word 'witch' always be met with a simple, calm, "She turned me into a NEWT!"

Nobody

'Cause the NEWT name still means something?

I hate to interrupt a good toasted-cheese discussion, but aren't we supposed to start the voting today?

Hi there. Let me gather up my past posts of language and put together my suggested ballot.

OK - here is what I have. I think Proposal three may be confusing and I know some people think it is unnecessary. ANy assistance in making it clearer is appreciated:

PROPOSAL: The following procedure will be in place for warning a poster about unacceptable behaviour. 1. A user-complainant will try to resolve the complaint on-thread. If unsuccessful,
2. A user-complainant (does not need to be same person) will post in-thread that it's time to meet in Bureaucracy.
3. A user-complainant posts in Bureaucracy outlining complaint and linky citations, and requests a Warning.
4. At least 10 other users in 48 hours second the need for a Warning. If 10 other users do not complain within the 48 hour period, no complaint can be made again about that particular incident, unless it is being used to illustrate, with others, a pattern of demon-like behaviour.
5. As soon as the request for warning receives 10 seconds, Stompy sets forth a Warning over email and in Bureaucracy.

Yes/No

PROPOSAL: Warnings will be in effect for four months. After four months, the slate is wiped clean.

Yes/No

PROPOSAL: The procedure for lodging a complaint and requesting action after an initial Warning, will be the same as for a Warning. (in-thread attempt, post in Bureaucracy, 10 seconds in 48 hours, action).

Yes/No

PROPOSAL: The poster known as ita should have to change her on board name to bo bita.

Yes/No
