'Underneath'
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!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I trust that a community member would stop being annoying and/or apologize in thread if they have offended others. I trust that 10 of my fellow Buffistas will not call for a warning unless it is warranted. I trust that a member who will in time become a valued member of this community would respond immediately in a positive fashion to a warning.
Because I think it bears repeating.

Nobody
I am also not concerned because I not only trust that 10 Buffistas wouldn't gang up in a nefarious or whimsical way, but I also trust that if 10 people suddenly formed an anti-Scrappy cabal, that other Buffstas would leap to my defense.

Which I think brings us back to the point Trudy's concerned about - that there is no provision as it stands for the defense. I'm not sure whether I think we need it or not, but I see what Trudy means. Michele's suggestion of a stompy veto might be the least complicated method of dealing with this, but possibly there's another option I'm not thinking of?

Our wings are not tired.
If it is a concern to some then a stompy veto is a good option.

Thanks for all the fish.
If we were to ever have a situation where 10 (really, 11, because there has to be an initial complainant) people decide to gang up on another poster this is would a very different community than it is - and that would be of very great concern to me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My feeling is that, with this kind of procedure in place, the type of people who would organize an attack on a blameless community member would get themselves sporked for other reasons before they had the chance.
And I think the "linky citations" requirement is proof against people being sporked for no reason.
[Spork is fun to say. Spork spork spork.]

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
10 is also a pretty high number considering the fact that we are only counting as a "second" someone who says, "yes, I think that X's behavior warrants an official warning" (as opposed to saying, "I think that X is annoying, but he has not violated CS").

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
I'm sorry that what I was suggesting came across as such. I was trying to suggest a compromise, because even though I don't share your concern to the same level you do, since two people I respect (you and Gar) have both mentioned it, I'd like to see it at least discussed.
And I'm sorry if I came across as snippy, Cindy.
The stompy veto could prevent a scenario where, say, another board perished and 15 or 20 refugees decided to teraform the phoenix to their satisfaction.
Can you imagine? A bunch of Rules G*rls telling Allyson not to cuss?

Is that the final wording, msbelle?
