While we're at it, these are the other Charter amendments that have been suggested as an addendum to the amendment we're working on. Please review these and suggest any others you feel would be necessary:
It was suggested we add the receipt of objection provision (text in blue) to the Ranger objection provision in Article 3, ¶3 so that it would be consistent with the amendment we're working on.
If a member does have a concern or objection to a particular volunteer, these must be sent by email to the Administrator account, where they will also be forwarded to the Mayor so that the Mayor together with current Rangers can review them for merit. A Ranger will send an email acknowledgment to each person who submits an objection to let them know their objection has been received.
We would change the text shown in red from Article 3 ¶4: Routine powers of Rangers (excerpt) to the text shown in blue
• In the Jury Room and the Archive, enable posting rights, delete illegitimate posts from Hearings, and delete threads when they are finished;
• In the Thinking of England Forum, enable posting rights when age confirmations are received;
• Lock, split, or move threads upon request of members, or when it is necessary to improve the coherence of a forum; the thread originator must be notified beforehand;
In the Thinking of England Forum, initiate announcement threads and oversee consideration periods in accordance with the instructions in Article 6, ¶3.
Suggestions for Article 5, ¶9 addition in blue
Offenses for which the maximum penalty for a first offense is an immediate ban
- Spamming the board with ads;
- Spamming the board with pornography;
- Hacking the board;
- Refusing to abide by the Decision of the Jury in a Hearing [maximum penalty is
mandated by Article 3];
- Threats of real life violence or other criminal acts against members [maximum
penalty is mandated by Article 3];
- Deliberately introducing a virus to members of the board.
- Falsely accusing a member of harmful RL actions in order to deny them access to the Thinking of England forum.
The following provision from Article 2, section A, para 1 (Members Rights and Responsibilities) will be deleted:
(You have the right) to post in our Thiking ofEngland forum (a forum restricted to those who are 18 years of age or older) once you have met the eligibility requirements.
