Buffistas

Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

Host ,'Why We Fight'

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!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

So I'd like there to be a notation that they can ask me to come over here and explain myself before they actually request a warning and seconds. (If they choose - maybe I'm being such a bitch that they want to go straight to warning me, and they should be able to do that too.)

Brenda. I am not going to include all available options for people in this proposal. That is not what it is for. Theoretically people can just ignore folks, you know. The rules shouldn't have to explain that.

If bitterchick makes me want to slap her, I tell her to take it to Bureaucracy...but what if she doesn't want to go?

Then she doesn't go. And if she stays in the thread being offensive, then you ask for an action.

All this proposal says is that after trying to address offensive behaviour in-thread, a complainant will at least inform the offender that they are taking it over to Bureau. This came out of people not wanting to have Action occur against someone who is unaware of Bureau.

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse

Edit: never mind, long post that I ended up figuring out as I typed it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Why not just have a regular vote on whether someone should be warned?

Ten people is not very many. What ten pals might find unforgivable thirty others might see as a goof.

Don't you love it when that happens.

I got nothin' new.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Moved from B:

Do you really think we have ten-person cliques that tight around here? Ten people who would not only be that petty, but all at the same time towards the same person? I just don't see it happening.

Wolfram easily annoyed ten people with what turned out to be a style (as opposed to his intent) that didn't didn't bother a bunch of others.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

If that happened, I'd be turning in my keys and leaving.

I don't think I have the vocabulary to explain how much that idea bugs me.

Dude, I just saw two of my fav people go at it in another thread. Which is kinda like seeing your parents fight, but it leads to my point:

You're not really going to have ten people lining up to blackball/force a warning on someone who hasn't done jack, because I can't see anyone finding ten people one's close enough to to pull that crap who all feel the same about person X, Y, or Z.

Yeah, but did anyone suggest warning him?

No.

We could be a VIP post away from such a scenario.

No, because it would have been a discussion.

OTOH, if it just meant getting nine people to agree with you it could too easily happen.
