Egalitarian principles violated by post-count titles?

[Delfos]

Just titles...

for now...

[Gulliver]

I'm in the no strong feelings one way or another camp on this.

[Wast]

I am also indifferent. I would like to say, however, that I don't think the post titles contradict our egalitarian principles; it's just that removing them may fit better with our revolutionary theme and no one cares about them anyway.

[Khem]

So by and large we have indifference to this with a few pockets of those who believe extremely that post-count titles should be removed.

[Wast]

I don't think anyone cared for the titles in the first place. They're just something that these forums tend to have, so we were used to it.

Wast is always right.

[Delfos]

Can we get a vote? After this, I want to address the post-count

[Khem]

Poll added.

[Delfos]

Poll added.

I approve the choices on this poll adding a 4th option from the traditional method.

[Bustos]

Shouldn't there be a thread for the voting in the Legislative And Treaty Votes forum?

Or is this a poll to get a feel how people feel about the post titles?

[Khem]

Just a poll to get the feel, though I fear with the showing so far it will require an actual vote thread.

Hi all,
Sorry for being absent from the debate.

My original reaction was against the titles. I have never had anything against a count. Just statistics, read into that whatever you will.

A title based on a volume of produced posts is completely irrelevant and anti-egalitarian and is against the spirit of the revolution. To propose to "Change it to something more revolutionary" is like giving the king another title, like "Il Duce". Same crap.

Post related titles are anti-egalitarian! End of!

Either we get rid of them or we stand to be called hypocrites. If we changed our calendar this should not pose a problem.

[Delfos]

This poll has been running for a while now...

[Khem]

I move that this be put to proper vote.

[Lindisfarne]

Proper vote: fine

However: I demand that the issue should be:

Abolish titles.
Keep titles.
Abstain.

If we decide to keep the titles, THEN we can bring up a possible change of the titles to something more revolutionary (to try to hide the fact that we are pissing on the revolution).
