How about this: We get the rules/guidelines in place, and then let's see how it works. If we fall back into the same old arguments, then we may need an editor. For now, though, let's try to trust each other's judgment. Call it a trial run, or something. I think it will show that we can use the "honor system" when we have established guidelines in place that we agree on. Any clarifications of the actual guidelines can be discussed as a group.



I like this idea. A trial run, in my opinion, would enable us to write a couple of stories under the agreed upon guidelines to see how/if they work. After that, we can have a discussion concerning how well they worked and make an official vote to keep/lose them.

Also, I think we need to set in place a system for amending said guidelines, like TTT's #7. It's important that, like the US Constitution, we are able to adapt to the times...
