Proposal: What’s in a name?

Reached Quorum 7 to 0. Enacted by Derrick

Adminned at 08 May 2018 13:25:46 UTC

Make Cpt_Koen’s Position Captain, if they have voted FOR this proposal.

How should we pick a Captain? Arbitrarily, perhaps?

Well, if we get derrick on board (no pun intended) we can just pick someone. I fully support Cpt_Koen as a first arbitrary choice. I’ll even go as far as to declare I serve Cpt_Koen.

Aha, yes. I serve Cpt_Koen.

(Derrick may now extract any necessary concessions from Cpt_Koen in exchange for his vote.)

Wait, so if this passes but Koen says no, does this just pass and nothing happens?

[Jumble] If Koen doesn’t vote and this passes, nothing happens.

Well, unless derrick also serves Cpt_Koen, then CK doesn’t have anything to say about becoming captain. But he could un-captain himself again immediately, so it doesn’t really matter. In any case, all of that has nothing to do with the proposal itself and could happen on any post afaict.

BTW, I should mention the GreaseMonkey script somehow uninstalled itself from my firefox during an update, and I’ve been unable to reinstall it since. Participating in Blognomic has been considerably less convenient since.

Reinstall Firefox probably.

There was a Greasemonkey update last year that killed BNScript off, although I don’t remember the details. There might be some old discussion of it on Slack.

[Cpt_Koen] Try copypasting it in instead of installing it? Or uninstall and reinstall the script or greasemonkey? In the mean time you can visit this page, however as an actual rss feed it’s broken.

[Kevan] was there? I either have updates for the script turned off or it only affects some people.

BNScript still works for me. I’m on Chrome.

ElMarko:

I have a (sloppily) fixed version made for personal use, I could link that if someone wants it. IIRC the fixes for firefox/gm were different than what chrome needed to get it running. And no guarantees, of course :)
Also I didn’t for yet

@ElMarko I’m interested!

[Kevan] Oh I see. i have Palemoon and there was some fork of the older greasemonkey specifically for the browser and I have updates for extensions turned off so nothing changed for me.

I support Cpt_Koen.

This Proposal is now a moot point!
