Vote To Slightly Modify A General Policy Rule In Order To More Simply Accommodate Recent Votes

Long title, I know. :P

Anyhow, given Thread:249470 and Thread:249543 I propose, rather than listing an exception to the General Policy rule (listed directly below) on our new rules about petitions on blocks, un-blocks, and demotions:

"Chat logs of users breaking the rules or doing humiliating things should not be posted on blogs. They should be given to an admin in private, and should not be given to the community in any way. Humorous logs may be posted if they are not intended to humiliate anyone."

We modify it to say:

"Do not publicly post chat logs of users violating policy or otherwise engaging in disruptive behavior, unless you are utilizing these logs as evidence in a petition to block, unblock, or demote another user. If you are not going to use them as evidence in a petition, then give these logs to an administrator in private. Never under any circumstances post chat logs with the purpose of humiliating other users. Humorous chat logs may be posted as long as they are not intended to humiliate other users.."

This way we don't have to list exceptions on the two new rules (I'm betting they'll go through given the current support rate of 12 to 0 and 17 to 0). And this will keep the rules simpler and tidier.

So, if this passes then once the other two votes pass we can just modify it all at once.

Yes - 19 Votes

No - 1 Vote

...Hold up, we're legit counting Mish's vote? He doesn't take it seriously, and as Spidey said, he only changed his mind just to get a rise out of us.

It's only one vote anyway. Doesn't really matter.

Unless you want a whitewash.

I think we need to make a rule. About disqualifying votes that are obvious spite, or jokes like "Well since everyone else is doing this I'll do this to be different."

It could be rather subjective. But giving forum mods the authority over deleting them, and admins the authority to overrule the forum mods decision if the community as a whole seems against it. Something along those lines, or just see what the community thinks about the vote in question. But I think we could make something work.

When I get some free time I'll probably make a vote about this. :P Just my thoughts right now though. :P

Honestly this should just go under basic common sense, rather than having to have an entire policy devoted to it. But that's just me.

Anyway, let's not stray off topic.

I vote A, I'm glad that this is extremely clear that this kind of stuff cannot be done in order to humiliate other people and that it has to be taken seriously.

A. Mostly because I want this out of my Notifications, but I don't like humiliating other users either.

that's three of the first letter of the alphabet, one of the second, one of the fourteenth

1+1+1+2+14=19

19÷6(cause there's six letters)=3.16 and more sixes forever

so that rounds to 3.16, which rounds to 3.2, which rounds to 3

the third letter of the alphabet is C

your answer is C

(C is the third letter of the alphabet, three is... oh, you can finish this yourself)

That's your legit response?It's just one vote, it doesn't matter?

I don't want to make this sound like an inspirational movie, but in my experience one person can make all the difference, for better or for worse.

With the vote standing at 19 to 1, with the 1 literally saying he changed his vote because no one understood that banana = a, I think it's safe to assume no one is going to blindly follow Mish on this matter. :P
