warnings poll

Perhaps I'm missing something, but why doesn't someone make a poll about the warnings issue and put it in the VVC comm?

obvious choice to me too

A poll (after the suggestions and input die down) would be a good thing for information purposes. I wouldn't use it (if it were me running the convention) as a binding vote - but if I were consider X policy, I'd want to know how people would react and what it might do to convention participation.

The problem is - sometimes simply by putting up a poll - people demand that the majority should rule, which may not be a good thing.

what I keep going over and over in my head is this: the discussion has narrowed down to one issue: should the convention be making up lists of vids that merit warnings even if the vidder exercises the 'choose not to warn' option. A compromise that has been suggested is for the VJs to offer a general warning for each vid show tailored to the content of the vid show without singling out vids or putting the vids on a 'list'. That way, people who have triggers can get the info they need about what vid shows to attend, and the 'choose not warn' option is allowed to remain what it is - a choice.

why the participants are trying to reframe the discussion into something else confuses me when there seems to be a perfectly workable compromise. It won;t make absolutists on either side happy, but then again, absolutes rarely make for good policy. or good times.

I see polls as a way to gauge a group of people. Nothing is binding and VVC has never claimed to be a democractic entity. There's no way that I can see of deciding on something that will make everyone happy.
