I thought we were only discussing Proposal One right now. I thought Proposal Two would be a separate discussion/vote.

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!

You're right ginger! I will reword that
Polter- we were confused too, because it was fairly unclear who the seconds were for ( since everyone seconded me, and I didn't propose anything) Since neither original proposer said they would craft the ballot when Jon asked, I assumed I was doing it for both. Personally I don't care either way.

My understanding was that both would be on this ballot.
Also, I'm busy putting a toddler to bed, but I'll be back in the next couple of hours to put the ballot up and start voting.

But I'm not sure what the point of a non-binding "poll question" is. I thought that's why we haggled over the proposal/voting system. If some people want to revisit the spoiler policy, let's discuss it in Bureaucracy and make a concrete proposal if it's warranted.

Mostly because I was curious? I wanted to ask if people were interested before I proposed a discussion. You could take it off-- it is fine!

I'm ready to put the ballot up, but I'm waiting to hear from Nilly or Tom that the email is set correctly.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Proposal: Ban Polter-Cow from the board by consensus, without going through the official voting process.
Background: In the past couple of days on Twitter, I've seen several writers discussing what they consider a pattern of harassment by Polter-Cow. Anyone interested in what's happening on Twitter can search on his real name, Sunil Patel. (He has linked his pseud and his real name repeatedly on the board, so I feel comfortable using it.)
In discussing this with other board members, I have been made aware of several people who he has made uncomfortable with his behavior and actions, to the point that they have avoided threads he posts in or F2F events he's part of, or they have left the board entirely. I think we should ban him for this consistent and long-standing pattern of behavior.

Our wings are not tired.
It is with sadness that I have to agree. This board is precious to me and it hurts me that members feel uncomfortable with his presence.
