'Objects In Space'

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!

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

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

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.

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.

Yeah, but did anyone suggest warning him?

No.

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

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?

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.

Highly freaking unlikely.

Given that we haven't had a VIP post in ages, interest in the shows will wane as it moves into re-runville, and the best-case scenario is we have ONE ME show on the air next season.

Nobody

Trudy, the person requesting that a warning is issued has to provide proof (cite posts, etc) when making the request. How are 10 people going to fake that up?

Remember the last time a VIP posted and the board trippled?

ME has a new show and it could happen all over again.

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

AND, there has to be an ignored request to discuss it in-thread.

I'm like Plei -- I can't express my reluctance at the idea of a vote (4 day discussion 3 day poll) for a freaking WARNING.

Nuh-huh.

Who approves the case that they make?

Ten people could decide that the word "cunt" is a problem. Suddenly, it would be policy for the board?

ME has a new show and it could happen all over again.

That's only because it was Joss posting.

Tim posting never made people seek out the place.

Joss is unlikely to post again. He may or may not ever do another TV show; who knows? As it stands, however, we're more likely to see a drop off rather than an increase in users.
