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.

Jesse, my fault memory says that we had to go back and, on our second vote, vote on what "majority" meant. I.e. that it was 50%+1, not 66%, and that votes of no preference did not count toward what was 50%, only toward the 42-minimum voter turnout.
I haven't the cites with me, but goodness, we sure talked about it!
What do you think about the desire to be specific in the thread title - listing shows - to try to keep the volume down?
Sounds good, either in the thread title or the slug. I do think that some category-name like "Combined TV Fandom" is more flexible and less clunky than just a list of names, although I'll note there hasn't been a good punnish suggestion yet. Alas!
The slug is fine with me.
If we count no preferences when determining the majority, aren't we basically counting them as "no's"?
Ah, that makes sense, thanks. OK then. Carry on!

This Is Not In Any Way A General TV Thread 1: No, Really!
Okay, I got nothin'.
For the record, in practically every question in the ballot that referred to a thread I don't post in, I voted "No Preference"
Same here, which is also why I have no preference for the new thread title.
42 - the one true number.
Also, Kat may be Queen of the moment any time she pleases.
Hey, what happened to the bo-bita question!?!
The slug works for me as well. Maybe we can think on titles a bit more?
Hey, what happened to the bo-bita question!?!
Kat is a sell-out, apparently.

ita knows where Kat lives?
I'm weighing in against Ikea, in that i have never shopped there and it is an abstract to those of us who have not done so. It would be like naming the thread Pottery Barn.

This. This is what happened.
