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

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.

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

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.

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

Wolfram easily annoyed ten people with what turned out to be a style (as opposed to his intent) that didn't didn't bother a bunch of others.

But nobody suggested that official action be taken against him. Not one person.
