Re^7: using the power of consideration responsibly (what is personal attack what is trolling, can you lose power to consider)

I am not saying the consideration system if fail-proof, but I still prefer having it over not having it or revoking consideration powers from *some* by a decision of gods or handing reaping powers only to a select *few*.

Remember /borg ? There is no reason for the losing of power to consider to be permanent	[reply]

Borging is an answer to an entirely different issue. And it is used very very sparingly. Since the consideration system is not broken, or not even considered a problem by the Monastery, I tend to go by the "Don't repair it, if it ain't broken" maxim. Allow me to ask you a more personal question: you seem genuinely interested in the good working of the Monastery. Why don't you join us and post under your own identity?

I understand, I used it as an example of an existing policy with a feature of time limit which is why I mention of time limit being an option that could be considered :) Since the consideration system is not broken, or not even considered a problem by the Monastery, I tend to go by the "Don't repair it, if it ain't broken" maxim.

Been there, done that, still doing it :) I am Anonymous Monk :)	[reply]
