I'm secretary of a club which has grown sloppy about the rules, and I can see the disadvantage. I feel we have meaningful discussion, but without a motion and a vote, it can be left fuzzy whether we decided to do a thing or not. Was it still up in the air or was it clinched? And who would do what tasks?

At the last meeting I raised a question and I had three people barking at me that "We already decided that!" I'm not going to put up with that kind of treatment, and I'm going to insist that we make motions so that plans are clear.
