Right before they shoot him...

Can't we vote about this?

I'm just chiming in here after attempting to catch up. I don't want another process for anything. We have a process in place. Maybe it's a little lengthy. Maybe it's a little unwieldy. I don't, however, feel that an entirely new process is going to make anything easier or quicker. It's just going to be another process that we have to debate and hammer out and vote on and then try to remember the rules of.

When we had the vote on closing Bureaucracy to only registered users, I really don't recall any great debate. It was proposed and discussed for the first day or so. Then the debate kind of settled down because everyone who cared had their say and then a few days later we voted. To be honest, I don't see that much debate or contention about the grandfathering. What I see is a lot of people being confused about what the proposal means and that's a separate issue entirely.

In my opinion, the best way to calm down the bureaucratic waters is to just stop trying to tweak the system for a while. We'll finish up the current grandfathering proposal and then move on to the Minear thread. Allyson will propose it, within a day or so everyone will have their say, the lighbulb thread won't have any new posts for three days then we'll vote and it's done.

I am putting a moritorium on my own personal brain for at least a month or two. I want to see the system in action for a non-policy decision or five before I even contemplate another change to the system.

New regime, billytea, new regime.

Can't we vote about this?

I'm pretty sure the new regime is declaring Martial Law.

I still don't have an answer to this from Light Bulbs

Clarification please...

If there are insufficient voters for this proposal to be resolved (ie, less than 42 votes cast) is it subject to the moratorium?

I don't think that I'm picking nits.

I do think that there are four vote options at the moment (Yes, No, No Preference, No vote) and I'd just like to know the consequences of all of them before I act.

Yes, No, and No Prefence all count toward the 42.

If there is not 42, the vote is as though it never happened, so it could be voted on again.

I hate No Preference, just to make my position clear.

New regime, billytea, new regime.

So just to get this straight, this new regime is going to feature military levels of discipline, which will be administered by ita, and will involve a lot of people being thrown up against walls?

I was going to ask how you ever expected to take power, but now I'm just surprised it hasn't happened by popular acclaim already.

You know, I don't know. I was going to say if it doesn't get the minimum, it doesn't count, but I'm not sure. Do we have anything in the Text? NUUUTTTTYYYYY!!!!

What bitterchick said (and all her words above it too).

Thanks Jesse! Sophia

You know, I don't know.

ahh.. welcome to Confusion, Jesse. I'm the first house on the right.. no.. the left.. wait, if you're coming from town and the electric train's smoke is blowing north, three people get off at chattanooga and I'm the house that's earwormed by Hepburn's Bunny Watson. Come sit a spell :)
