Glory ,'The Killer In Me'
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.

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).
Banning someone is a board issue, but raising money for charity on behalf of Buffistas is not?
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.
Me neither. I'd go mad. But there's not a clear separation, unless we define it that Buffista activities don't fall under Buffista law. And if we have to vote on that I'll go mad.
Hm. Will you all bake me cookies and bring them to the asylum? And maybe some taco bell for dessert?

I'm fairly sure I owe you a batch of cookies just on principle.
I think new threads go up for a vote because we have limited bandwidth and that means not all proposed threads could ever be instituted. I may want a thread called "Please Search the Net for Photos of Guys I Think Are Cute and Post Them Here For Me." but that would be of interest to, well, me, and use a lot of community resources. Charity or the F2F don't use up server space--we can have unlimited supplies of them as long as peoples' pocketbooks and goodwill hold out.
