Proposal: Trains

If my proposal ended today, could I create it again the next day?

Unfortunately, subjects re-posted with the same claims of vague or unsubstantiated support are no longer supported by this process. Area 51 is not the place to find an audience. When you submit a proposal for a new site, you are implicitly agreeing to the instructions in that form which state:

When you submit a proposal for a site, it is generally assumed you have access to an audience to build it. Area 51 cannot find that community for you.

You are asked directly: "Please describe or link to the community where you will be publicizing this proposal:" even though many authors hand-wave that requirement with responses like:

  • "my friends"
  • "the Internet" or
  • "people interested in [proposal title]" (← yes, these are real responses I receive)

I understand some might not have a specific link ready, or only now realize they are responsible for rallying the community they purport will build their site. But when a user simply re-submits the same proposal with no indication they have the means to actually build a site, I have to close it as a duplicate (failed) effort.

Yes, you could theoretically propose it serveral times without breaking any rules. Though it's better to gain a lot of people to your cause, then create the proposal for them to join. That way, your proposal is not deleted for not having enough followers.

    This is definitively wrong. Robert Cartaino has immediately closed a number of proposals that were repeated without any substantial gain in users following.
