Delete rule 1.10 and change the phrase “For the purposes of the Ruleset, excluding Rules 1.1, 1.2, 1.8 and 1.10” in rule 1.2 to “For the purposes of the Ruleset, excluding Rules 1.1, 1.2 and 1.8”
Add a new subrule 1.1 to rule 1, entitled “Expectations and Consequences” with the following text:
To be a Voter, a person must fulfilled the following expectations:
No Voter shall abuse or manipulate any of the systems Blognomic uses, including but not limited to the website, ExpressionEngine, the GNDT and the wiki, to disrupt, cheat, or commit crimes.
Each person may only play one Voter, and each Voter may only be played by one person. Every Voter is responsible for securing any accounts they may have on any of Blognomic’s systems.
If Voter believes another Voter has not fulfilled these expectations or has otherwise harmed the Blognomic community, they may make a CfJ to punish the perpetrator. As a last resort, this punishment may include permanently removing the perpetrator from the game, and prohibiting them from rejoining.
I’ve never liked our current “Fair Play” system in any of its incarnations. On the other hand:
1. This rule is more concise and clear.
2. It will cover anything conceivable, as opposed to a list of misbehavior we must constantly expect.
3. Trolls cannot glean potential ideas from it.
4. Makes banning a last resort, rather than the draconian current wording.
5. Shifts the burden onto CfJs rather than Proposals. Dynasties should be free to mess with Proposals if they choose, so things of this level should not be Proposals.
Keba:
Hm, I think the current Rule is ok. If someone thinks another Voter needs to be punished, he may post a CfJ.
I assume To be a Voter, a person must fulfilled the following expectations: could be problematic: If a Voter does not fulfil these points, he does not count as a Voter any more. Right? Not sure whether this conflicts with the current CfJ Rule, but I think every Player should be considered as a Voter at least for the Core Rules.
Generally, I don‘t see why we need to dramatic this problem.
