Hm, good question. I would think that we can only vote on what is proposed during that month, and if no one proposes anything, interest isn't high enough to warrant an official F2F. Maybe we should add the provision that ever pimp must have a second-in-command/fallback person?
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

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!

Erin has proposed the following:
A new thread for Buffistas who are in business for themselves, be it writing, freelancing or other, or those pondering it.
Thread would be clearinghouse for Buffistas business owners to have "watercooler" discussions about issues germane to running/starting a business, and also for all Buffistae to offer or seek assistance in various fields which Buffistas could offer (or at least point people in a reliable direction, if possible.)
Business spamming would NOT be acceptable practice, but persons could certainly mention services other Buffistae might be in need of.
Discuss amongst yourselves.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I am in favor of the Buffista biz thread.

Are the guidelines acceptable? I mean, we want Buffistas to be able to discuss their businesses and strategize and such, but do you think we should have a policy on excessive pimpery?
I know long-time Buffistas will know the etiquette, and I don't think we'd have a deluge of lurkers suddenly appearing, but it's best to be proactive about such.
Perhaps make it part of the thread blurb, if this thing passes the vote: "Promoting your business and skills is acceptable, but this is primarily a networking and solution-sharing thread: excessive over-promotion of services is not on par with Buffistas.org etiquette, and will be dealt with appropriately by Stompies?"

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
but do you think we should have a policy on excessive pimpery?
We're often self-correcting. I'm not at all against us having a clear policy but I think we're not bad at either bopping people on the nose or just not engaging when they don't conform to ever-changing community standards.
And I like the idea of a thread.

True dat. Maybe just "Excessive/inappropriate business-promo spamming will get you stomped like the wrath of Godzilla."
