Xander ,'Get It Done'
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.

I can't imagine ever doing another charity project under these procedures, and the last couple were signed from "Buffistas."
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.
By board, I mean straight up Buffistas.org. I'd always seen who posts here, and how, and which threads exist for posting in, yadda, yadda to be in the voting purview.
T-shirts, face to faces, charitable donations ... those don't actually involve right *here*. Not about this code, these threads ... does that make sense?
Of course, as I type, I'm realising that there's no reason anyone else would make a similar distinction.
I think I make that distinction the same way you do, ita. And also, the process is a little wonky this week because of the "Oh yeah! We forgot about this whole other thing!" Other votes have gone off with many fewer hitches.
I'm the one compiling the text of decisions. I'm about done, and Jon, I can do the basics of htmlification if you like. Next 2 days?
One thing I've learned from reading B1 and 2 is that oftentimes, we talked past an issue for 500 posts, got exhausted, forgot what we were talking about, and then proposed the same thing all over again. So I'm thinking that institutional memory is a good thing!

I'm off to Lalaland on Saturday, so I can't promise it'll get done until I get back (beginning of June).

Okay, I thought that warning, suspending, and banning, while a board issue, is NOT a voting issue. Ten seconds and that's it, the first warning goes out. That's right, right?

Yes. I thought she meant deciding on the procedure, not the instantiation.
But we voted on that process, Burrell.

Ah, okay. Now me see.
No, I can't see things like charity drives and the F2F working with a board vote. You're right about that. But so far, we haven't done them that way and I don't see a good precedent for starting.
