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.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

Misha, didn't he at least get you the mumblemumble t-shirt?

I heard back from one of the organizers who said that an email assent for inclusion should be fine, and he's getting me exact wording.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, Misha's friend sounds mumblemumble cheap.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Would the e-mail assent work for folks like me, whose RL name is not their board name? Come to think of it, how to I prove that I am, indeed, Sophis Brooks....

Not many have board names that are their RL names -- but everyone has a valid email address that they used to register their usernames. I'd think that an opt-in from that email address should suffice.

What amych said. Thank you, amych!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Well, aren't we going to set up a system like the voting? That way there's no question that the person validating their inclusion is the board member in question. That's what I thought.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

erin - You tell me what you want the opt-in form to say, and I'll make an HTML form here that will automatically send it from any user who wants to opt-in.

If I only had a brain...

If we're doing individual opt-ins, is there any need for the board as a whole to opt-in?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Maybe not, Betsy, but somehow it feels right to me to get the general OK.

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

By a general okay, are you using the terms by which we pass any normal vote?

If 200 users say "use me!" but the board says no, it's a no?
