It seems there is no consensus on consensus polling. :-X

A "No Thanks" button is sorely missing...

Do we have the creator information for these tags? Quips on Bugzilla have creator information, and you can revoke a user's quip creation privileges if they abuse them. Could we apply 30-day bans on tag creation for users adding clearly abusive tags?

Not that they should be doing them, but maybe a 7 day ban?

You're overstating my actions. You are also downplaying/defending Jaffa's inconsiderate behavior that was involved, which he continues to think was appropriate. It's exactly that sort of arrogant holier-than-thou crap that is just flat wrong for council representatives. You can complain about my ONE meltdown (for which I at least apologized) all you like, but I'm not officially representing the community. If I were, you can damn sure bet I wouldn't be treating members as you and Jaffa do. You're the one who keeps bringing up a moment of weakness in a public manner.

But keep making excuses and berating people for having different opinions than yours. I don't expect that to change. But what has changed is what *I* have been letting go... including most of your recent ugly comments.

Not to my knowledge, although Reggie may be able to access additional information via the database.

Well, the information is stored somewhere (even if somewhere is hidden away in a database). You can only delete tags you added, so it must associate user accounts with each tag.

Can you really point to any posts against having additional themes? Comments about it being desirable to have a unified [default] look & feel across all of maemo.org, but can you point to a post by a council member (me, Kees, Tim, Ryan or Alan); Quim or Reggie saying "a dark theme is useless, there's absolutely no chance of you having one ever"?

I can tell you that the polls did nothing to sway my mind; and given I don't recall anyone arguing against having options, I don't see how it would have swayed anyone else's.

The arguments (yay, we get them dragged up in another thread!) were around the technical blockers to the migration of existing themes (which Reggie quite clearly expressed on a number of occasions), the lack of manpower (Reggie was working on fixing bugs in the main theme and andrewfblack was the only other person constructively building a new theme), and demands that some nebulous "maemo.org", the council, or some other body should do the work ASAP.

ObPolls: As has been pointed out, and I think you've now accepted, polls are a leading way of asking a question. They leave no room for nuance or debate. No-one can be persuaded of the other person's view. A n+1'th way cannot emerge.

ObThanks: No from me, for all the reasons stated so far. The proposals of "let's include them but exclude them from karma then" ignore the fact that this makes work for very little benefit. It's a hard sell ;-)
