Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

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 else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Wait a second, Solange Knowles is a Buffista! I'm happy that you're delurking, and I'ma let you finish, but your sister is the best lurker of all time! OF ALL TIME!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
ita, I'd like to suggest the following change in wording, which I think is more clear:
I propose an annual delurking and locating thread, to be opened each October 1 and closed each October 31, where everyone is encouraged to stop by, lurkers and regular posters alike, and say a little bit about themselves so we can learn about the people we don't post with, or the people who read but don't post. Also, people are encouraged in that month to enter or update the location field in their profile, with the note that they can be as vague as their country or as specific as their street address, with the options in between of state, province, zip code, city, and the like--whatever feels comfortable.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, I just slammed October in there without properly modifying the sentence structure--yours is better.
