Right, Amy. But Jim posted the proposal asking for seconds, didn't he? I agree it should be (and probably will be) modified before the vote, but we have four days until then. Getting seconds would be a good way to start discussion, rather than waiting until we get the *perfect* proposal. On the other hand, I would understand it if the feelign was that Jim's is a starting point, and an official bullshit-consensus proposal will be Plei's.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer
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.

Oh, and "major", I'd say, means regulars not guest stars or recurrings.

As candyb put it in spoilers:
I would support a proposal to changes to the MAIN CAST ONLY, not recurring or guest.
This sounds like the way to go, although I'd probably change it to "well-publicized changes". I know "well-publicized" opens its own can of worms (i.e. define "well-publicized"). Doyles death, for instance, was not what I'd call well-publicized in advance. Buffy returning season 6, or SMG not doing another season, I would call well-publicized.
If Jim's proposal was official, I'll third.

Teppy - my understanding is you followed the steps, but I wish more folks would chime in.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Thanks, Cindy. I don't want to be a rogue Buffista.
Well, I *do*, but not in matters of procedure.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Can we define "main cast" to be "those whose names appear in the opening credits"?

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm agreeing like crazy with teppy. But I've only scrolled a few of the said events, not actually participated in the discussions.

OK, Changes are cool. How does:
"That major casting spoilers to the main cast only, not recurring or guest which are being advertised by Fox, the WB or ME on TV, press advertising or their official website are no longer spoilers, and should be discussed in the show threads. The Main Cast are those characters who appear in the credits."
Strike you? So that excludes interviews and trade press stories, but includes full-page ads in Variety saying "Angel is proud to welcome Shannon Doherty as the new Slayer in town!"

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Can we define "main cast" to be "those whose names appear in the opening credits"?
Or even "changes that will affect the opening credits"?
Like "'Angel' is being renamed 'Queer Eye for the Vamp Guy'" or such.

Swouncing
Teppy, from the approved proposal ( msbelle "Sunnydale Press" Apr 19, 2003 12:02:50 am PDT ):
The following procedure will be in place for taking action for unacceptable behaviour.
1. A user-complainant will try to resolve the complaint on-thread. If unsuccessful,
2. A user-complainant (does not need to be same person) will post in-thread that it's time to meet in Bureaucracy. In Bureaucracy, user-complainant will outline the complaint with linky citations, and request an Action.
3. At least 10 other users in 48 hours second the need for an Action. If 10 other users do not complain within the 48 hour period, no complaint can be made again about that particular incident, unless it is being used to illustrate, with others, a pattern of demon-like behaviour.
4. As soon as the request for action receives 10 seconds, Stompy sets forth Action.
So you followed 1 and 2 to the letter.
