Proposal: What Crisis?
Reached quorum with 21 votes FOR. Enacted by Kevan.
Adminned at 16 Jan 2010 02:53:39 UTC
In Rule 2.3 (Crises), replace “The Executor may Veto any Crisis proposal which he considers to be physically impossible, or otherwise inappropriate.” with:-
If the Executor has not cast a vote on a Crisis, it cannot be enacted, and it can be failed if it has been open for voting for at least 48 hours. The Executor may Veto any Crisis proposal which he considers to be physically impossible, or otherwise inappropriate.
And while I’m here, add to Rule 2.1 (Away Until Morning):-
The Executor can be contacted by private telegram at cartlesham at gmail dot com.
Making it so that the Executor has to approve (or at least DEFerentially wave through) any Crisis before it can enact. I’ll leave the veto in as an explicit reminder that “magically reveal the murderer” type Crises will always fail.
but I’d encourage a patch so that the first sentence reads something like: “A Crisis cannot be enacted if the Executor has not cast a vote on it. If a Crisis has been open for voting for at least 48 hours and the Executor has not cast a vote on it then it can be failed.”
spikebrennan:
The wording is broken- the 48 hour clause can be read as providing that if it has been open for 48 hours without being adminned then it can be failed by any admin regardless of the votes. It could be 28-1 including Executor’s .For. Vote but if the first admin on the scene after 48 hours doesn’t like it, he can fail it.
