Buffistas

A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.

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.

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

Because some things are never discussed out?

For instance, if Zoe hadn't chosen to piss everyone off in the Angel thread the other night, we'd probably still be talking about her.

People got angry, people got upset -- heck, people are still getting angry and upset, look at what happened upthread between Allyson and Fay -- and I think they would continue to get angry and upset with one another.

I think having a set point at which action is taken (i.e., 10 seconds or whatever) is a good thing. It doesn't stop the conversation, but it relieves the burden on the conversation as being the driver for action.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Shouldn't this discussion be in Light Bulbs, since it directly concerns msbelle's proposal?

What if thirty people think the ten are over reacting?

Then participate in the discussion during the incident to indicate as much.

But I'm with ita: any incident that would result in 10 Buffistas seconding a request for Action? Yeah, that's worth taking an Action on.

Doesn't meant the party in question is gonna get kicked out -- it's just a warning, not the end of the world.

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

Ten people could back channel right now and decide to warn somebody for nothing at all. It could be Z and nine personalities.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

This was mentioned in the voting thread, and it was pretty much agreed that something like this would be obvious and it would be invalid.

Our wings are not tired.

That was my understanding.

Ten people could just take a dislike to someone and do the same. Did X violate community standards or did X annoy ten pals?

I'm getting off for a bit, but will be back on before the discussion in lightbulb closes at midnight.

Jon, if you are around, I will post my final language in that thread.
