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?

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?

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.

So when is it that I can propose a thread?

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

I'm sure I volunteered to htmlify such a page but who is compiling the text?

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?

If you wanted to raise money for something ... it's not a board issue. it might be a Buffista thing, but not a board one. I don't think it would come even remotely near a voting procedure -- it would be yours to decide upon as you see fit.

Same with the F2F, as I see it.

I think I don't see where the line is, ita. Banning someone is a board issue, but raising money for charity on behalf of Buffistas is not?

edited for clarification

Uh, not trying to add complexity, just searching for clarity.
