I would support closing the censor log. I'd much *rather* see the
ability to remove a post permanently disabled. The reason is that to
me a BBS discussion is like a conversation, and I don't see any reason
why people should expect to be able to "unsay" what they've said.
However, I think the current situation is misleading and is worse than
either alternative.

As Mark said, the bylaws are in coop item #2. (And should be in that item
even when coop rolls over.) But the quick answer to "How do I propose this?"
is that you just did, when you said "I move we close the censored log."
The way to make a motion for member vote is to enter an item doing so in coop.
I'll definitely vote no on this. I suspect that I said why, at some length,
the last time around (unless I just me-too'd someone else's statments), so I
won't bother this time.
I hope the discussion won't be so long-winded and repetitious this time,
though it's likely to *all* be repetitious, strictly speaking.

item:173 seems to contain much of the discussion, plus the vote,
from the last time this was proposed.

Jamie's going to write a new edition of "How to Win Friends and
Influence People."

Personally, I plan to ignore jp2 until *he* gets it right.
(I don't give good odds for either of us to meet our goals, though.)

You have no idea how many people didn't even know that any of this existed
until this whole stink. Myself included.

So what did you think about it once you found out about it?
My own feeling is that with better phrasing and a little member
education, there's a good chance that this could pass, if Jamie can
avoid making it a referendum on himself. The proposal lost by four
votes last time, IIRC, in a low-turnout vote.

For those of you who are reading this in Coop12, the reference to a previous
item 173 is in coop11. Type "join coop11" at an Ok: prompt, then type "read
173" for the full 255 response history.

Re #13: Good argument for a twit filter, no? ;-)
I find it amusing that people from M-Net can't make their own fun,
so they have to come here. It shows how badly they've failed. Of
course, just because they're here does not mean they're worthy of
anyone's time or attention.

(Grex could, of course, make this proposal go away by deciding that accepting
jp2's membership payment would be more trouble than it's worth)

Naw, jp2 ain't worth the extra attention a motion would draw him. Now,
maybe if he changed his login to usgovt, or even usgummint (shades of
tsty?) then maybe. But of course he'd then have to either transfer the
membership or buy a new one...
So, Jamie, any other motions I can propose that'll cause you to put up
money for Grex?
