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.

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.

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?

How would that happen, though?
If the posts are going to be identified as from b.org, even if not from Poster X, I'd like to make sure that b.org is OK with it, not just the individual posters. (Anyway, with the opt-in, I can't imagine a lot of people being against it, even if they wouldn't opt in.)

Yes, this. Even though I'm reasonably happy with the opt in process.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
If we're doing individual opt-ins, is there any need for the board as a whole to opt-in?
Think of the case where someone is opposed to the thing altogether -- say, out of a desire to have the board as a whole keep a lower profile, rather than being concerned about his/her own posts. If we just have the individual opt-ins, we'd only see that as a not-in, without the larger concern getting aired.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
But what does it mean for the whole board to opt in? Does that mean that every single member must agree? Everyone who's posted at least once?
Or the dreaded "majority"?

But what does it mean for the whole board to opt in?
I don't think it means much of anything really, in terms of action. More of a "yes, good idea" affirmation than anything.
The complicated part will come if it doesn't pass. Not that I see any reason why it should, but still.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
We're talking about doing a formal proposal/vote, as I understand it. Judging by the comments here, I can't imagine it wouldn't pass.
