Okay, this is, barring a major unforeseen development, the final ballot.
The ballot is in two parts. The first part determines whether we want to not allow multiple screen names outside the RP forum at all, allow them with some restrictions, or allow them without restrictions.
The second part would determine what restrictions would be placed on multiple screen names outside the RP forum, if the choice in the first part is to allow them with some restrictions. Thus the results of Part II will only be binding if Choice B is the winner of Part I. However, I think that there would be value to answering the Part II questions as advisory text if either A or C is chosen in Part I. I encourage people to vote in Part II with no regard for what is happening in the vote on Part I.
_______________
Part I. Whether to allow multiple screen names outside the There and Back Again RP forum
Question 1. Please rank your choices in order of preference.
A. Members should continue to be allowed one screen name only (other then RP IDs in the There and Back Again forum), with this issue being subject to reevaluation in the future.
B. Members should be allowed to have multiple screen names, subject to the restrictions determined in Part II.
C. Members should be allowed to have multiple screen names without specific limitations beyond those required of all civil posters, other then that they are limited to one vote per member for each ballot in which they are entitled to participate. Posting under the guise a secondary screen name does not relieve a member of his/her rights and responsibilities of Board77 membership. [Note that under this choice no list of secondary screen names would be kept, secondary screen names would not be restricted from posting in any forum, including one in which a vote was ongoing, and secondary screen names would not be prohibited from serving as an admin, mediator, juror or in any elected office. The limitation on voting would be purely self-policed.]
