<p>It was poorly worded. My apologies. I think 'nothing seems to be working yet' is more what I meant. Although, some things are beginning to work. If there's anything i can do, please let me know! :)</p>

The way to doocratically create policy change is to convince enough people that your proposed policy will improve NB, such that they voluntarily adhere to it.  Like I said before, not easy!  But people are in fact trying this, which is why I complained about your statement that "nobody is doing anything about it".<br>

Yeah, i know about doocracy and i know there was a rebase. Still, i<br>
think  the place would be much better without the kitchen and switch it<br>

        Nicholas, I think it is unfair to say, "noone is doing anything<br>
        about<br>
        it".  First, lots of people are doing things, but since there is<br>
        not a<br>
        full consensus about what the problem is nor what is best to do<br>
        about<br>
        it, sometimes these things counteract each other (e.g. the sleeping<br>
        pods) so it's often hard to see.  Also, the problem (broadly<br>
        defined as<br>
        non-hackers doing stuff that impedes hacking) is a hard one to<br>
        solve, as<br>
        it is not obvious how to a) identify non-hackers nor how to b)<br>
        either<br>
        make them into hackers or encourage them to not-hack elsewhere.<br>
<br>
        Second, if you want changes to happen, please please please make<br>
        them<br>
        happen yourself!  You have heard, endlessly, about "doocracy".<br>
          It is<br>
        really a thing.  That is really how shit gets done at NB.  Yeah,<br>
        not a<br>
        lot of shit gets done, and some things that everyone agrees would be<br>
        nice to happen, don't, but that's only because nobody has<br>
        stepped up to<br>
        actually do them.  You could do them, you know.  (You too,<br>
        everyone else<br>
        who is reading this.)<br>
<br>
        Daniel, regarding the donation box: it was stolen some time back<br>
        according to an earlier thread.  I'm in process of making a new,<br>
        heavy<br>
        and sturdy steel one, but it will take me another week or so.<br>

            Fair enough. I do think a lot of changes at noisebridge need<br>
            to be made,<br>
            but nothing is enforceable. Sooo, idk. It's just annoying to<br>
            keep<br>
            hearing the same problem and no one is doing anything about<br>
            it. I agree<br>
            it's a problem that detracts from other peoples use of the<br>
