Not to start a kerfuffle, but if enough people who voted to close the Spoilage lite thread now think they didn't have enough information or that it was closed a bit hastily and possible unnecessarily following the recent mysql drop, and considering the fact that we've probably spent more posts talking about Spoilage lite in this thread than Spoilage lite generally gets in an average month, is there a procedure to re-vote/or otherwise nullify the results of last week's vote (strictly as they pertain to Spoilage lite) without waiting six months for the moratorium to end?
And feel free to say there is no way, because that's sometimes the way these things work out.
We don't currently have a way to do it. The moratorium is pretty specific, I think, that we can't bring it up again in the interim. Six months will be February, and if people want to reopen it then to discuss the Angel season finale episodes, they can.
Six Months? Yeah. I guess that's what we agreed to. No sense in crying over spilt milk.
Okay, C'mon, you can't expect me to ignore this number. I't the middle of the night. No traffic.
psst!
number slut

Nutty's rough draft of Buffista procedure is here.
Comments needed. Since she wrote it back in May, and I've been the slothiest sloth in Slotheldania, some things are out of date. I updated a couple of things but I'm sure more work in needed.
Aargh. I am not sure how I used to have the time to be so into voting procedures...
Wow, you guys!
I notice this about the moratorium:
The vote of confidence was scheduled to take place June 29, 2003, but never occurred.
So, it seems like 6 months turned out to be just right, then? As we're almost there and no one's brought it up?
Right, Jesse. I think everyone seems to be OK with 6 months as a timespan, or if they're not, they should say something!
Looking at the document, I can see that Spoilers and the last paragraph of Voting will need rewrites, due to recent votes. I'm glad to see that new thread proposals and thread consolidation votes went down without anything really really bad happenning (or if it did, don't tell me).
But mostly, are people OK with the thing? Anybody has nitpicks or dislikes, I'm certainly willing to do rewrites (banking on Jon's indulgence in HTMLification).
in anticipation of rewrites, I did very little htmlification to this one. I just fixed a few bits of bad code.
I didn't go over it with a fine-toothed comb, but it looked good to me!
