Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Problem is, whatever we do is going to upset someone, so it becomes harder and harder to make the desicions-- either way someone is upset.
And yet, doing nothing but talk endlessly about what we *should* do? Bound to upset pretty much everyone involved.

Burrell, I agree with that. This is why I favored voting (and I think still favor it, unless ita wants to take up and itacracy)-- I hought it would elp us decide how we would least upset the majority.

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
Yeah. I had no idea about the 10 complainants in 48 hours rule.
Am I a moron staring at it in the FAQ, and can't see it?

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

Nah. A page with all the decisions is being worked on, but not yet complete. In the meanwhile, it requires Press surfing.

Thanks, ita. I was feeling like an ass.
So when is it that I can propose a thread?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Tho I admit I don't think the troll-coddling problem is as large as Allyson and Kat percieve it to be.
We've only had 2 instances of banning, and each one involved days and days and days of heated discussions. People left this thread for good. People left this board for good. Friendships got seriously weakened, if not ended.
I'd call that a problem. If we had another one very soon, I think things would be ugly.
The "coddling" itself (if it exists) isn't the direct problem; it's the angst that arises out of the dithering about it.

The 24th or 25th, I think, unless Betsy withdraws the grandpappy proposal.

A page with all the decisions is being worked on, but not yet complete.
I'm sure I volunteered to htmlify such a page but who is compiling the text?
So when is it that I can propose a thread?
It already got the secondses, right? So right after the current vote is done, or the end of the week.

You know, I'm going along with the whole thing because I want the thread and this seems to be the only way to go about it, but I really, really can't stand this process. I haven't the patience for it.
We don't seem to be using this process for everything. F2F is almost completely planned by a couple of people, for example.
I can't imagine ever doing another charity project under these procedures, and the last couple were signed from "Buffistas."
Was there an agreement somewhere on what was eligible for voting, and what wasn't?
