The big fish are coming......
For this poll, vote ONLY on the:
First of all, this is really only half the rules for contributors. The other practical half is at Project Conventions.
Why the split? Because the Contributor Agreement is the Global Rules. It's like a Federal Constitution that affects all projects and the "States" (the Projects) can't ever violate. It's also a guideline of general principles that we all generally believe in (example: Point 8 is a "Right to Participation").
The remainder of the rules should be debated upon by the Project Staff and the Project Manager, to better suit the needs of the Project.
Are roughly autonomous (or confederate) Translation Projects a controversial idea? Well, a (not-so) long time ago I remember hearing that Baka-Tsuki is a host for light novel translations, not a light novel translation group. With that concept, I think it's perfectly fair that as a host, that we do not interfere with how a group of people decide to run a translation project so long as it does not violate a few universal principles.
This page describes these "certain few universal principles".
I recommend that everyone take a glance at the Current Project Conventions before we proceed forward.
Okay, with that said, let the debates begin!

If you vote, please leave a comment saying what you voted for. This is not a secret ballot.
This is simply so we don't get stumped if 5 trolling readers people vote "no" or something. FYI, the votes are changeable.
