A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Allyson, it couldn't hurt to have the proposal drafted and ready to go. Since someone's been paying attention to the queue, though, I think we should deal with Betsy's first.
Bannings, once applied, have no takebacks. That's what gives them teeth, and that's what makes them a last resort. (Also, that's what justifies and puts to rest all of the yammering that is required to make a banning happen.)
Emphasis added. And a great example of disagreeing that is 100% calm argument and not even .02% nastiness.
Say, should I actually propose "Any Buffista who gets a show gets their own thread"?
That would be great, because I'm getting my own reality show next season. It's going to be called "Real World
Noumenon: Master of All I Survey." Come to think of it, just put the proposal on hold and I'll enact it with a flourish of my scepter during the season premiere.
Maybe it did reduce this magic popularity cash,
Even snappier than "social capital," although it doesn't encompass all the forms social capital can take, such as the checkable deposits on reserve at the Buffista gallery. And of course the great thing about social capitalism is that we're all in control of the means of production! (Not strictly true, of course -- little social capital is possessed by the members of the proletarian "lurking class" -- but social capitalism is destined to eventually give way to the establishment of an egalitarian lurker's paradise.)
Another myth bites the dust. Buffistas don't blindly vote YES on everything.

At least she linked to our front page instead of Tim's post. For some reason, I don't mind that as much.
I was thinking the same thing -- because there's no way a random person who clicks through is going to be able to find Tim's posts without a lot of work. I like making people work for the goodies.
Thanks for the permission to not read the past few hundred posts Brenda. With limited time I really want to stay focused on show threads and natter about Buffistas in love.
Also, I ended up voting NP with the notion that if I ever wanted to bring up something less publicly I could send a note to the Admins.
I ended up not voting, because I didn't think it should have come to a vote.
Can we get an emergency white-out on post 1699 in the Angel thread, please?
Did we reach a consensus on the Buffy thread title, and when to change it?

It seemed like the majority of people wanted to name the thread during which the finale will take place (the next thread, # 4) "Grr Argh", with the following one (# 5) named "She saved the world. A lot" (with a 'during the ending' and 'after the ending' logic behind it).
Despite this being before the beginning of the discussion about which BtvS threads will need to be closed after the season finale, I still don't see it as that much of a problem with naming the fourth BtvS thread - whichever thread that will remain (and obviously at least one thread will), can be named, even if only in its following incarnation, with "She saved the world. A lot".
Of course, this is only my opinion (and I should probably mention I was in the "Grr Argh" camp all along).
Could someone close the italics in Post 9809 in the Buffy3 thread?

One has to click on the next post to re-orient to get rid of it infecting the rest of the posts on a page. Some people do not know this trick.
When one is viewing posts at 100 per page, it's inconvienient italics...
