I believe the two options should be:

 

1) Yes, but as a sub-category or with a notation

 

B) No, F those junk donkeys

This probably isn't going to help, I understand you don't like the reaction you received when you first proposed the topic, but honestly, it's time to move past it.

 

Sharon has stepped up, provided us with a simple poll and hopefully silenced some nonsense from both parties, so we can vote on and receive the result you and many of us are after.

Hey Sharon, I do like the idea of adding them, but with a notation that its for PIF.

 

Maybe you can add that as an option.

 

I'm personally fine either way Mike, but I figured that we would do that as a poll if the Yes votes win, I wanted to keep it simple.

I can't imagine most people would want no notification of someone who acts the way this guy acted towards manicnerd.

 

So it's gotta be a choice between sub-category or notation.

Sorry, I didn't mean adding them wouldn't help. I meant the snarky poll options.

This is true even though the poll is just going to reflect almost exactly what the last poll stated.

 

Since this is a probation list inclusion matter... I'm almost 99% sure that POV would have stated the poll should have been placed in the PL discussions thread for posterity purposes... but he's not here today to complain about it.

You have 2 days to ponder

 

During that time I'm sure that other things might come to mind.

 

Reading comics, polishing your new award...taking your wonderful wife out to dinner...saving the world;)

 

You know, simple stuff;)

 

If at the end of the 2 days you would like to write a new poll clarifying any results, I won't be the least bit insulted

Fingh wanted the vote to be simple. You can't get anymore simple than "Yes" or "No".

 

This poll is just fine... notations can be placed on by the nominating party. No big deal keeping it just the way it is.

He won't yell at you Sha... you know he's too sweet for that

Probably a good idea...but I would go with "junk donkey jockeys" just to make it truly offensive.

PIF PL Scenario (hypothetical)

 

Goods get offered/taken as follows:

A to B, B to C, C to D, D to B, B to C, C to A

 

Party D comes on the thread and says "party C is gone, no communication, no items"

 

Party A has yet to offer anything & doesn't want to because he's unlikely to get his claim from party C.

 

In the "spirit of the thread" - a kindly boardie jumps in and puts up the next offer...life goes on...until D decides to do a nomination.

 

Who goes on the PL ?

a) just C - the guy who will never appear here again anyways

b) A & C - both the guys who broke the PIF rules

It sounded like he was keeping it light and making a joke. We need a little more of that and less of the serious stuff, no?

My vote would be just C. but...

I think there are enough good, intelligent people in the PIF thread to come to a consensus as a whole on whether or not to nominate someone for the PL list. The thread as a whole runs relatively smoothly. Sure there are snags here and there but most things work themselves out. Outright theft, which has (in my opinion) occurred in this particular situation is rare so it's not like the PL list will be over run with PIF members.

I'll finish it for you. "My vote would be just C. but.....that's not what the PIF rules call for and both A & C should be added to the PL."

 

Anyways, that's the challenge with this type of multi-party transaction where sometimes applying the rules won't work the way most would want it to.

 

I don't have a strong opinion either way, I think you guys could handle your business over there or make use of the PL.

 

RULES:

-You must not be on the Hall of Shame list or be in poor standing on the boards

-You must have at least 50 posts

-If you claim some book(s), you must post your offering within 24 hours

-Only one offer at a time. No new book(s) can be posted until the existing offer has been claimed

-Post pics or scans of the book(s) you're giving away. Cell phone pics are fine

-Don't take book(s) if you've got nothing to offer in return

-Ship book(s) quickly so people aren't left hanging. No later than two weeks after someone claims your offer.

-Only one takeit every 7 days per member. However, if an item is not claimed within 24 hours, anyone is welcome to take it (no matter when they last claimed book(s). Just don't be greedy!

-Please do not discuss the value of the book(s) being offered. If you don't like them, you don't have to take them

-You can ONLY "take" a book after it has been listed.

-Be honest

-Have fun!

 

Out of curiosity, how does the blue rule work?

 

[manicnerd]

First, I apologize for my snarky remark...I'll try to let things go.

 

Out of curiosity, how does the blue rule work?

Most people wait a week unless they really want the current offer then they wait the 24 hours Most of the good stuff doesn't last long.

I assume A would move forward with their offering knowing that C will be put on the PL.

 

I received quite a few PMs with people offering to send me things because they found out I got hosed. Actually, right now there are multiple people offering Slym their copies of the Killing Joke because he was bummed he didn't claim a PIF. So I feel personA would be ok with moving forward.
