Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I need a stompie. Do I need a second and a third?

I move we close the lightbulb thread. The current topic, which proposes to change grandfathered policy, is (due to the preference of 84% of the voters) invalid for discussion until September 20th (or until such time as it's determined that this issue is not protected under the grandfather clause).

Thanks for all the fish.

I have to second.

Because it's a policy point that needs addressing. I am in no way trying to stifle discussion on this issue, but I think that it's essential that we decide what fits under the grandfather clause.

I think that you really need to cite the discussion that grandfathers this issue.

Thanks for all the fish.

Here, Kristen,

It was a vote. Some people think that the spoiler policy is grandfathered. We're trying to see if that's the case.

The Spoiler Policy is in the FAQ.

No, I get the grandfathering. I'm just unclear on when this shift in spoiler policy was discussed before being implemented.

That seems to be the sticking point.

Unless proven otherwise, it seems reasonable to assume that the spoiler policy as stated in the FAQ predates the board and should be grandfathered.

Thanks for all the fish.

We're trying to determine when the shift occured. Well, I'm not so much trying as saying 'hmm, don't remember' at intervals. But I'm trying to remember, so I think I get partial points.

Not seeming so reasonable from here. If the current wording was something that was discussed in Bureaucracy before being implemented, then yes. It would fall under grandfathering and we can stop talking about it for six to eight weeks. But if there wasn't an actual discussion or consensus, bullshit or otherwise, it doesn't.
