Sheer Applesauce -- Guidelines

Web Log Guidelines:
  • Requirements for blog principals: You must post one original post per week and reply to one other person's original post per week.
    • Suggested length of posts -- 800 words for an original post, 400 for a serious reply.
    • Should anyone think of any further guidelines we should have, speak up and we'll have an up-down vote.
    • Non-principals are encouraged to comment, and often. Should others eventually want to join as principals, we'll take a look at the regularity and depth of their commentary, and take a vote on admittance.
  • Procedural hogwash: If we want to make any group decisions, we vote. Simple majority wins.
    • In case democracy fails us, I'll make a dictatorial decision. "Failure of democracy" defined as a tie or a irritating squabble that lacks any sign of ever coming to a conclusion. Or a coup staged by PG.
  • Blog options: Everyone who is so inclined should feel free to dicker around with the blog options, just don't change anything drastically without asking the rest of us.
    • The settings are currently set to my own personal preferences, but they're not particularly strong preferences.
  • Anonymity: Those who would like to remain anonymous for legitimate reasons, like worrying about weirdo stalkers, may. Please go by your initials or some other consistent handle to let us keep track of who's posting.
    • This probably goes without saying, but simple distaste for putting your name on an opinion is not a legitimate reason to go anonymous.
