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?
Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?

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!

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

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?

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

That was Joss, Trudy. Joss is completely different than anyone or anything else.

So what we want is for Joss to never ever post here again?
I think ten is too easy, there are plenty of groups of ten here. Why not a group of twenty or thirty?

I'm confused about this statement.
Why not a group of twenty or thirty?
Why not 802?

Well, whereas 10 seems too easy, 802 seems a mite too difficult.
20 or 30 is a bit closer to 10 and yet unlikely to be people over a beer who got annoyed with Poster X and three days later flip out when X says something obnoxious yet not outrageous.

I don't care if he does or not. I don't think he will, that's not the same thing.
If anything, I think ten is erring on the side of caution.
