How about this? If we can't find Jim by midnight board time tonight, we turn the wording over to Plei, who IIRC intended to make a similar proposal at around the same time.
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I would prefer the amended version go to vote. I think that Jim would probably be okay with that as well. Let's give him a chance to come back and peruse it. I think we can stretch a little to accomodate that. It's only if he were gone for an extended absence that I think we'd need to go forward with the original wording.
I'd rather preserve what little accord we've achieved in Lightbulb. As noted, however, there would be a moratorium on voting on the same issue.
Let's use our common sense about this, instead of being run ragged by rules interpretations.

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
The suggestion has been made for a virgin thread as well, but I'd rather save that for another vote because we really haven't discussed it.
Then let's discuss it, shall we?
Really, whichever community gets booted out of the series thread should get a patch of board to call it's own.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Well, this is the original proposal:
"That major casting spoilers (to the main cast only, not recurring or guest), which are being advertised by Fox, the WB or ME in press advertising or their official website, are no longer spoilers, and should be discussed in the show threads. This includes cast additions or departures. The Main Cast are those characters who appear in the opening credits."
This is Kristen's revision, modified by Nutty:
"That major casting spoilers (to the main cast only, not recurring or guest), which are being advertised by Fox or the WB at their annual upfront presentation to advertisers, are no longer considered spoilers and may be discussed, within their respective show threads only . This only includes cast additions or departures that occur over summer hiatus only (not midseason) . Any plot points related to the character's (not the actor's) arrival or departure are to be treated as spoilers. The Main Cast are those characters who appear in the opening credits."
And Cindy's suggestion was to build in some amount of time after the season finale before the next season stuff was free for discussion, to make sure that end of season talk doesn't get curtailed.
There's some really key differences.

Well, here is where we're discussing modifying the ballot if Jim doesn't come back.

Three weeks? Four?

I don't think we've figured that out yet. Finale is usually end of May? Would July 1 be too long?

Lets make any reasonable conccessions to the virgins we can. Four. Because if we are going to wait three, one more week is no big deal.

I really think this needs to be it's own proposal, all by itself. I really dislike the idea of attatching a rider to something around here.
