Posted without serious comment by this Senator while I chew upon the idea.I've been pondering a better way for the masses to put in their input on Senate threads. I think it's important for the rest of us to be able to easily voice our thoughts, and the current improvised PM system is a pain for both the common folk and the senate folk.
How about a stickied thread in Testing for each Senate discussion thread? Link to the senate thread in the testing thread and vice versa; that way the rest of the board can easily voice an opinion that can just as easily be observed if useful or ignored by the senate if things end up getting out of hand. In testing, such stuff will disappear when it's outlived it's usefulness and it won't clutter the rest of the board.
Presumably there wouldn't be such a thing for explicit voting threads, as (in my mind) the purpose of this is for other folks to express actual ideas or give thoughtful input, not "ban +1".
If you'd post this as a discussion thread (with my name on it is fine) or bring it up with the relevant parties, I'd appreciate it.

[Discussion]Pleb comments in Testing?
I haven't had this many PM's in...well since before RogueIce got a girlfriend.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

That's going to be a lot of stickies. We'd need someone to go in and kill each one as the discussion thread dies.

Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

Still haven't decided how I feel about the subject but in relation you your post, an easy fix might just be one pleb comment sticky that gets purged every ten pages or so.LadyTevar wrote:That's going to be a lot of stickies.

Again, to play devils advocate, since it's not my idea; I guess the PM system still works for anonymity, while those who want to voice an opinion, can do so in testing without bugging a Senator.Dalton wrote:I don't know. Some people like to retain anonymity when sending suggestions to the Senate.

It could be like the Rant threads, where it is stickied for a period of time... then cut loose to sink into the morass and be lost when the pertinent subject is voted on and passed.

Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

My concern with a Testing sticky is that the Testing signal:noise ratio, while still better than other forums', is still very low. The sticky could become a spamfest with very little actual feedback, causing a hardworking Senator to waste his time slogging through it for no rewarding comments.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

I might be wrong, but the intent I got from the original poster was more a way for plebs to communicate their ire or support for senate threads, rather than direct communication from plebs to Senators via importent threads.Surlethe wrote:My concern with a Testing sticky is that the Testing signal:noise ratio, while still better than other forums', is still very low.

From a concern citizen;
Not every issue raised in the Senate warrants (or will even necessarily garner) comment and discussion by the general membership.
However, should there be multiple issues going on at the same time which generate considerable discussion, it could easily overload a unified "post all your Senate commentary here" thread into nigh-unreadability.
In my opinion, I think it would be a hell of a lot simpler to simply allow people to create threads on the topic of Senate discussions. Right now, I have the distinct feeling - and I freely admit it may be baseless - that if I were to go into Off-Topic right now and post a thread along the lines of "so what do you guys think about [insert Senate discussion here]?", it would be closed and frowned upon. Just letting people know it's okay to start a thread discussing a topic currently being pondered by the Senate seems to me the simplest way to tackle this issue.
Neither Off-Topic nor Testing are currently so busy that a few extra threads concerning Senate activities are likely to push active threads into page 2 and out of sight, so I don't think there's any real concerns at this point on the impact this will have on ease of browsing. If this should change in the future then the policy can be revised. If people go overboard it can be curbed or even stopped. It seems a harmless enough attempt to me.

I think I mostly agree with this, but have a slight reservation about the potential for people to start threads more to whine about being mentioned than to actually contribute meaningfully to the discussions. I would still say I'd be ok with giving it a try, though.Knife wrote:From a concern citizen;

Using the threads (OT or Testing) for spam or attention-whoring could be met with minor wrist-slappage anyway. Say, using a "Senate Attention" thread for personal wankage could earn a four-month custom title of "Paris Hilton" or something like that.
First thing I could think of for attention-whoring, I'm no necessarily dead-set on that-- a quick grab outta the hat idea.

Suggestion from Starglider...

If Starglider can make it work with the auto-pruner, I'm interested into looking further into the idea of mirroring Senate threads.

Avoid thread titles that discuss Viagra or Nigerian royalty, though.

We're trying to be as useless as the real thing, but I like the basic idea of letting them comment in some fashion or another. I'm also at least somewhat annoyed with anonymous comments--if you write the Senate in the real world they do a fucking background check on you--since the whole "Senate, calm down" thread got frustrating fast with a bunch of anony's getting posted. It felt like you were debating someone who didn't exist.

Some people ( ) think that merely having a senate is too far down the path of democracy for comfort...but plebe input?
If this is being given serious thought, why not just give everyone senator status?
Give everyone a voice and you end up with deafening white noise.
The Senate shall speak and the Plebes shall listen.
Period.

If a plebe has a suggestion, he could do it the old way- PMing a Senator. That way, he will think twice before doing so, because if it's dumb, the Senator will not only decline to pass it on, he will mock the hell out of them for it. Quality control, people.

That would be fine if a situation hadn't developed where instead of simply a single comment, the anonymous individuals would then mail in replies to the replies to their original comment, i.e., essentially a debate, but a debate where one part of the arrangement remained anonymous.Zaia wrote:I quite like the fact that people have the option to remain anonymous if they so choose.

I don't really see it as any sort of Senator/pleb interaction in most cases, rather than letting the public at large discuss the happenings of the senate.
Since it's creation, the Senate forum has been viewable by the public at large for a sense of openess. I see nothing wrong with some one standing on their soap box in a some what structured way, and talking about the happenings of the senate.
Putting it in testing makes clean up easier, or Off topic would seem best. It's not like normal rules of the board would automatically disappear with such an understaking either. Any troll or dumbshit gets out of line and they deal with the Mods.
