Who (other than the DP) should be able to halt the chat? Options discussion.

[Cyc]

I would agree with DaveShack's poll. Although the "posted Instruction" avenue is left out, DS's poll is easily understandable. It should work.

The posted instruction thing is a separate area. I would like to define instructions as encompassing anything which can be accomplished via the user interface -- and "quit" is something the interface can do...

Well, after reading the suggestions here, I have decided to post a new poll, later today, with two options: The DP only and the chat-goers.

 

[Cyc]

You mean:

1. The DP only

2. The DP and the Chat-goers

right?

I think the DP is necessarily a chatgoer...

 

[DaveShack]

I've been giving Noldodan some time to get the new poll posted. If it doesn't get posted fairly soon, I'm planning to go ahead and run the new poll using this format, which is the way a question of this type should be worded.

Q: Should anyone other than the DP have the power to stop game play during the chat?

Yes
No
Abstain

kind of different, but true still a chat-goer.

Thought we did this one already? Or are we trying to scrap the original poll?

Nice editing on your reply -- you left out the crucial difference between my suggestion and all the others, which is that mine has yes/no/abstain as the vote options.

In the previous poll, "others" as a cumulative group got more votes than "DP Only" If you are willing to abide by that decision and accept that others at the chat are able to halt it, then we can stop now. If you will not accept the results of that perfectly valid poll, then we must have this other one to eliminate the confusing answers.

"What should govern the decision to halt a chat?"
Option 1: The DP's will only
Option 2: The DP's will or a majority vote of Citizens at the chat
Option 3: Abstain

Look good?

Yes, post it up!

Please, I can't take this anymore...Someone post a poll...

Nor can I for that matter, this innane discussion is starting to drive me mad.

 

[Noldodan]

Sheesh, I just didn't want to get lambasted for botching another poll. It's going up... now.

 

[Sarevok]

The poll is up, lets get this one closed and locked.
