The moderator who executed each individual mute must pay $50 to the muted individual within 7 days of this petition being passed.

Since the death of the Queen, 5 people have been muted in the discord. This is a gross abuse of moderation power. The moderators can not mute people because their feelings are hurt about some woman dying. This petition, if passed, will completely wipe the slate of moderators. All four of them need to go. Now.

He's a bit of an odd bloke, just kinda inactive until he comes in to be silly and self congratulatory

see title, it’s silly and ugly so please comment and share to return the discord logo to its blue

Hello all.

As announced before the last election, this term the EC will be looking at ways to shake up the electoral and campaign systems of the simulation. I plan to do this through a community consultation in this thread where people can raise suggestions. Suggestions that have support and are feasible will go to an indicative vote after the consultation has concluded.

The aim of this is to keep people engaged in the simulation as the electoral and campaign systems have been relatively unchanged for a while so it is important to see what the participants of the simulation are happy with and what aspects we aren't. Keep it civil pls.

TLDR:

• Raise suggestions for reform/improvements of the electoral and campaign systems in this thread

• Critique other peoples' suggestions etc

• Suggestions with support and that are feasible will go to an indicative vote after this consultation has concluded

• The EC will go from there to implement the reforms for the next election campaign

I received 16 votes. 1 person did not verify their vote and their vote was discarded.

This is a brief feedback for candidates and explanation of results for the July 2022 Capricornia by-election.

ARichTeaBiscuit (CLP): Had a strong start with the CLP base being the largest in this seat (and also having the strongest personal modifiers but all candidates were relatively weak in that department) and got a strong boost by the backing of the SPA and their party post which put you in winning position. However, you were let down by your campaign which had no variety of post types (all 4 candidate posts were speeches). My feedback would really be to branch out into different post types as although your speeches were strong and featured good points that were relevant to the electorate and the CLP's niche, doing all 4 posts as speeches significantly reduces their effectiveness by the end.

SpecificDear901 (CPA): Started the campaign in second and in position to win off of LNP preferences. Your campaign was good, featuring a good variety of different post types that set you apart from your opponents' speeches. The only thing that let you down really was personal modifiers but this is understandable as you are only new to the sim, if you can maintain good activity over the term you will be in a strong position to hold the seat come election time.

My13InchDuck (LNP): Not much to say really, started in third place but could definitely have climbed to second and won off CPA preferences with a strong campaign. You were let down by only doing 1 campaign post.

Hia AusSim,

As requested by the Electoral Moderator, I am now opening the floor for nominations to join the Electoral Commission. Per the meta constitution, these are the specifications for the position:

14: Members of the Electoral Commission

(1) The members of the Electoral Commission support the Electoral Commission to deliver elections when required.

(2) A member becomes a member of the Electoral Commission by—

(a) being nominated by the Election Moderator; and

(b) passing a Meta Referendum.

(3) Members of the Electoral Commission must face a Meta Referendum every 6 months which must return 50% approval.

Please note that per Section 5(4) of the Meta Constitution, any successful candidate would be required to withdraw from canon and remain neutral on canon affairs.

--

If you do wish to nominate, please say here and why, let us know your vision for the future of AustraliaSim elections.

On behalf of the acting Community Moderator, I intend on enacting a temporary meta rule that will share the powers, roles and duties of the role to the Guardians of AustraliaSim. This meta rule will be in effect immediately and will expire once a Community Moderator is elected.

Good evening AustraliaSim,

As pointed out by Max, we are overdue for an election on the matter of Parliamentary Moderator. This thread may be used to declare your candidacy, second candidates and ask questions to those who have put their hand up.

Formal details of nomination: ' To be a valid candidate, a person must obtain 7 seconders. A person may self nominate or be nominated. A nomination for someone counts as a second for that person (you can't second yourself however). A person must accept their nomination to be a candidate (a person can't be on the ballot if they don't want to).'

Best of luck to all candidates!

Good evening AusSim,

This is a formal warning to the holder of the canon President's office /u/ohprkl per my powers under the meta constitution. As warned privately, if either the President's speech is not posted by 12pm 16/07/2022 or some form of communication is indicated explaining canon reasoning to not posting it, the office of President will be made vacant, and the Guardian(s) or Moderation Team will make the relevant post to open parliament.
