I just wanted to document here one point discussed recently in the CB.

The idea of a drop-down menu of consideration reasons has been discussed. My additional refinement would be to have individual "reasons" removed from the drop-down list after a node has been previously considered for that reason.

That way, for example, a node won't get considered for "promotion to tutorials" several times, each time ending in a "keep" majority.

Think of it a little like the US Legal system.... where, while there may be multiple appeals filed in the wake of a court decision, each appeal must argue a unique point. Once an appeal has been ruled upon, any future appeals must be in regards to other topics of discussion.

Coming back to the Monastery, that would mean that a node couldn't be considered twice for topic change, but it could be considered once for topic change, and later on, considered again for the different purpose of the addition of code tags.
