Dude, we'd issue the man a warning.
He's too good for rules? We don't need him.
Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.
'Not Fade Away'
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So, to clarify what is messed up in my head, if Joss showed up in the Angel thread and said, "I am SO stoked about Orlando Bloom joining the cast of Angel," would it be deleted, whitefonted, or accepted by all and speculated upon with ruthless passion?
Didn't Tim kinda do that once? As I recall, he got slathered in whitefont, but there wasn't any warning.

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 think that right there is a good enough reason to suspend any grandfathering legislation, whether it applies or not.
84% of the people who voted want policies left in place until a certain date. Shall we chuck their opinion whenever we feel like it? Why do we vote if we're going to have a whole new form of concensus?
If the policy is grandfatherable that should be honored.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Is FAQ policy? That's my question.

I think he's done it more than once.

Hey, guess what, I'm part of that 84%, and I bet Jon was, too, so stop making assumptions about what the hell my opinion was.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
If the policy is grandfatherable that should be honored.
I addressed that issue. The FAQ entries were not subject to the same kind of scrutiny and debate as consensus decisions, and should not be considered grandfathered. They reflect board culture, they don't codify it.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I certainly didn't think I was setting policy with my post in TT three years ago!

I bet Jon was, too
Yes, I was.

Also, aren't we just a few short days away from the Minear thread? We need a name, and also need to know if we can use "Casting Spoilers" to talk about Wonder Falls.

A-yup.
I propose "Tim Minear is a Fluffy Bunny: Wonder Falls 1"
