Ax, looking back at your revisions to the ballot, did you want to make that 'maintain' to 'retain' change that was suggested for option A?
A) Leave the thread as is. No board-sanctioned action will be taken on the thread beyond possibly changing the disclaimer (see adjunct ballot). Members retain their right to edit their own posts in it.
In addition, I would suggest taking out 'in it' at the end, or if not, changing 'in it' to 'in the thread'.
B) Edit the thread soley to replace all non-member screen names with anonymous placeholders (all real life names have already been removed). The disclaimer may also be changed (see adjunct ballot).
I support Voronwe's suggestion above, although I wonder if we could eliminate 'Edit the thread solely' :
B) Replace all non-member screen names in the thread with anonymous placeholders (all real life names have already been removed). The disclaimer may also be changed (see adjunct ballot).
I support Frelga's suggestion for option D, removing the warning from the top and putting it with option D:
D) Delete the thread from the board permanently.*
*According to the Charter, a thread may be deleted by boardwide vote if it seems necessary to preserve the peace, security or continuance of the board.
Also, I'm having some trouble with 'from the board'. How about this (if not, no big deal):
D) Delete the thread (it will be permanently removed from the board).*
*According to the Charter, a thread may be deleted by boardwide vote if it seems necessary to preserve the peace, security or continuance of the board.
If you think this may be construed as an encouragement to vote for deletion, perhaps we could say "if (and only if)".
I would object to including 'if and only if'. I think without, it more closely reflects the language and intent of the Charter.
Jnyusa, sorry to hear your back is acting up again!
