Archiving and lying for a week

That was our thinking – all changes, including ending the goal altogether, have a one-week delay. We’ve been talking to @mary though about how to be more flexible. Here’s the rough sketch of the idea:

  1. Make the fine print more prominent/central (include it in the legit check emails, etc).
  2. Have a button to “Invoke Fine Print” and immediately create a [gap in the road]( “Placeholder for the spec for this feature, which may be part of the Road Editor”).
  3. Doing that also prompts you to explain yourself (tweet-size) and sends it as an email to support (us) and your Supporters.
  4. Weaselproofing removes the feature altogether.

And a related proposal from you.

PS: Love that dialog, @jjb! Thanks so much for spreading the good word!
