1. If someone wants to be a badlands citezen, they should be allowed to be one whenever they want. Maybe we can have an open vote on each person requesting citezenship.

Please see the changes in pink below.
There is more and I welcome discussion please.

Spamstitution final draft (courtesy of Conchaga):
We, the citizens of the Badlands, declare this Spamstitution law. These are the guidelines for the selection of the moderators within this forum.

1. There is a master list of those who are citizens and this list may only be updated by missmanners or the current moderators.

2. Those members who are on the master list of citizens are the only citizens. No exceptions.

3. New citizens may be added before the next election.
[strike]A) Only valid and current citizens may nominate another for citizenship.[/strike]
[strike]B) Each citizen may only nominate one new citizen every other election.[/strike] How about just whenever we feel like it and however many we feel like?
[strike]C) Citizens added between elections have no vouchers to add other citizens until the completion of the current election.[/strike] How about New Citezens must wait one week before vouching?
[strike]D) A minimum of three citizens may petition to overturn a nomination for a new citizen.[/strike] The decision will be made by the current moderators. Thats funny that you were trying to overturn me then. :P
E) To be added as a new citizen you must have made a thread, or posted within the Badlands. [strike]within a month before the announcement of each election.[/strike]F) Dual accounts (sockpuppets) may be nominated for citizenship.
G[strike]) The cutoff time to be nominated as a citizen is 72 hours prior to the election.[/strike]
[strike]4. The citizens chosen in the latest election are to be grandfathered into the next election.[/strike] What

[strike]5. Those citizens who emigrate from the Badlands can be stricken from the list of grandfathered citizens by a majority yes/no vote.[/strike] What?
A[strike]) A citizen who has emigrated must not have posted within the Badlands for a period of one month.[/strike] What
[strike]B) A current citizen must nominate someone for an Emigration Vote.[/strike]
[strike]C) Just because someone is unliked does not qualify them for an Emigration Vote.[/strike]
[strike]D) Emigration Votes will be held seven days prior to every second election.[/strike]

6. Nominations for moderator may be submitted in any form the citizen chooses.
A) Nominations should have proof. Claiming you PM'd missmanners or submitted your nomination via MSN chat is not sufficient.
a. Screencaps are valid proof.
B) Proof need not be furnished unless the citizens disagree with the elected official.
a. In order to officially disagree there must be a 2/3 majority of citizens who disagree with the election results.
C) The cutoff time for nominations is 48 hours prior to the election.
D) Only Badlands citizens may be nominated.
E) A person may refuse a nomination.

7. There will be at least a 14 day notice as to what day the election will be held. LOL

8. The vote will be held over a 48 hour span

9. The winner will be chosen by simple majority.

10. In the case of a tie, the two candidates with the least votes will be stricken from the ballot and there will be a secondary election. This election will be held immediately. Oh

11. Secondary elections will last as long as the original. Whatever.

12. The ballot itself will be a thread with a cutoff date.
[strike]A) The time zone used for this cutoff will be Eastern Standard Time (GMT -5).[/strike] The times will be determined by the moderators and or the one making the thread as long as it is 24 hours or 48 hours.

13. There will be two Badlands Moderators at one time.

14. The term of office will be as long as missmanners dictates or until the person holding said office resigns.
A) The current length of office is four months.
B) The terms of these Moderators will overlap by two months.

15. There is no limit to how many times a person may hold the office.
A) Once a person has served one term, they must wait one full term before they may be reelected.

16. The Badlands moderators will dictate the policies and rules of the Badlands.

17. Any moderator who moves a thread from this forum will be removed and can not be a moderator again

18. There shall be no rules made by the moderators or this Spamstitution that contradict the rules of Troll Kingdom.

19. We withhold the right to amend this Spamstitution at a later date, should the need arise.

20. If you don't like these rules, don't post here. We don't like you anyway. Yeah Fuck Off. LOL.

21. In the case that any of these rules need arbitration, missmanners will be the arbiter. No exceptions.

Thoughts?
 
How about we just ignore the spamstitution and allow rule to degenerate into an oligarchic nepotism?

Good ideas.
 
So it is written on the seventh day of the seventh month of the ninth year in the year two thousand we shall always type with all or half caps in every third sentence or fourth word of the fifth post on the days following a full moon when the stars are out and it is not overcast and we know this because Yub or SuN tells us so when they are posting. If they are not posting we will not know what to do then.
 
I also think that if citezens don't vote in the elections, thier voting rights should be removed. Say if they don't vote in 2, the next time they can't vote.

Just a suggestion.
Please, we need more suggestions and we need to make the spamstitititutuion simplified.

Whatever. The election process is a sham anyway.

Suggestion: Delete the Spamstitution
 
The spirit behind the whole thing has been lost.

Everyone who posts here regularly knows who really contributes and cares about the Badlands. Those are the real Badlanders. A name on a bogus list of citizens is a mockery. That doesnt make you a Badlander. Any asshole with a voucher can throw their hat in the ring. Only those who have proven their selves of having the Badlands best intentions in mind should even be able to run. Peope with multiple nominations by respected Badlanders. None of this complicated shit like we have now.

Originally, didnt we want two mods to to be able to fight back against people like Cow? Wheres the threat now? Its from within, with the Spamstitution and this election crap.
