Subforum Ideas Topic: The Quorum Quorner

i think we should make post counts in hawkspace negative

i vote yes on this

I'm making a new petition called l30nh4rd where hawkspace posts are counted in a different section, and can be converted to negative normal posts, but only if you have an even number of them.

I vote against l30nh4rd.

It sounds funny, but then I'd be exposed for the fraud I am. Also I would no longer have 1000+ post count, and would thus not be the 25th biggest poster.

Proposal Oxy-scolding: lock the other thread and let it fucking die already because I'm ashamed to various degrees of everyone who posted in it

what. I was just making a pie-following. Even if it WAS evil and had a name like the PPP, the Pi Plucks Plan onepietorulethemall

Alright, I'm gonna own up and say that expressing my personal disappointment as a reason for locking the thread was unnecessary and shit-starty.

If we could get serious-but-still-teamfriendly for a bit, I'd like to discuss a Good Post by Wheat from that thread:

actually can we just not continue with this argument

this is what I want, but more in general having an agreement on not continuing with any sort of arguments in the future. like the minimum number of arguments in total, for the whole community

political things will be getting probably more intense for the next year and i think we should head it off by agreeing on like some kind of balance of what degree and kind of political conversation is good and what's too much; where it should go, etc and so on

should there be a general politics thread on hawkspace or in the general forum where people are encouraged to do current political events or just go with the current setup? should this be like, a general agreement or maybe just an agreement for a moratorium on any political discussion between loather and me (bc obviously i don't think anything productive or enjoyable will ever happen when the two of us discuss political things at the least)

not talking about establishing rules, but guidelines to lessen the likeliood of not-fun things from happening in the future

I was toying with the idea of a Politics thread in Gen Chat months and months back, but decided not to because I foresaw it quickly becoming inaccessible and regarded as "toxic" by non-regulars to that thread. It would've been needlessly stressful for me to moderate, and I always feel weird about making decisions about Forumnular Conduct.

A place where people can non-judgementally ask questions like "what else will I vote for, other than presidential nominees, when I go to the polling booth" or "what's "socialism" and how do the dictionary/academics/lay people/newsmen differ in their use of the term" or "my state party sucks at explaining who I can vote for for downticket stuff, can you help me find out" would be a really good thing.

Ideally, it's a space that caters not to PolChat Regulars (people who know enough to debate the merits of different political platforms), but for folks not up ins on the Big Complicated Mess that is their political system and want to get more informed.

Rules of engagement for folks keen to debate political theory are definitely needed though. I as a mod would not set or enforce rules regarding individual Users because I'd want to trust the folks in question to know themselves and each other well enough to keep the community pleasant for everyone else.

E: Ok I will also Call Petey A and B to quorum, and vote in favour of both

Vote in favour of Peteys A & B sure

i propose PIE

it's nothing. Just something to vote on if you like pies.

Voting yes on it also gives me permission to harvest your organs but who cares about fine print. Do you like pies? Then get PIE to quorum!!

i still think hawkspace posts should count negative. let's call this proposal petey-c even though it has nothing to do with peteys a and b

edit: amendment, petey-c-b: change the subtitle to "proclaimed by all as eagle time's negazone" (capitalized accordingly) accordingly

petey-c-b radio: loather should make a thread that's just the lyrics to the song "convoy" and accompanying youtube video of said song. don't vote on this

petey-c-b radio-b: allow voting on petey-c-b radio

At least a week has passed and PETEY has passed unanimously. The rules in the OP of this thread have been changed to reflect this. Text added to OP:

Spoilera. Voting will be open for week from post, unless an option has <85% of a vote (of at least 7 votes) after a day, in which case QUICK MOVEMENT status will be bestowed upon it.

[*]b. A smaller 3 vote quorum is all that's needed for actions involving moving things from whatever the active SUBFORUM IDEAS TOPIC is into a designated dumping grounds thread. After Quorum is established, as long as no one has any good reason to oppose the thing being moved after a week of consideration, it'll be done.[/list][/size]

I present proposition BULBASAUR:

The Least Forgotten Pokemon Thread, having finally reached completion through the combined efforts of a dedicated community, will be locked, and preserved for posterity, as a record for future generations.

I think a possible addendum to this would be to add a plaque on the last post, commemorating the accomplishment and recognizing those involved.

I would go one step forward and decree that the plaque should only feature the names of those who forgot to post in the topic.

I approve of locking and preserving Forgottenmon, plaquestylings pending agreement

I quoll to quorum or whatever PROPOSITION BULBASAUR

I vote AGAINST locking it, as as few threads as possible should be locked to encourage necromancy.

Vote YES on Prop 001


(because that's bulbasaur's number')

I agree with that! I vote Yes. on Lockpick, and (if it was not already clear) yes to bulbasaur

Yes on lockpick

i'm in favor of it if we can lock and unlock other people's threads

yes on lockpick as well

alternatively, i'm in favor of it if anyone can lock or unlock my threads

i'll vote against it if gatr says they don't want it locked

I vote against it. It would be much neater to lock it and delete all posts after the victory post. For dramatic effect, you understand.

e: i do wish that username mentions would ping me here. kinda like what i saw on another forum with @Gatr and suchlike.

alternatively, i'm in favor of it if anyone can lock or unlock my threads

Let's table this as a possible addendum in the future. The Loatherpick would be a powerful tool, and warrants further discussion down the line.

Yes on Lockpick

proposal: make wheat give themselves an official hawkspace challenge

i'm in favor
