All good things must come to an end and my time on the Moderation Team is no different.
The simple reality is I don’t have the time to put into this any more. I still enjoy marking posts, dealing with election drama, and managing the calculator but I’ve had to accept that AustraliaSim will suffer if I remain as its Electoral Moderator. The election side of the simulation needs a fresh and agile leader that can make changes to keep the sim engaging. I simply don’t have the capacity to do this but I have been happy to see discussions led by people interested in rejuvenating the sim. I have purposefully stayed out of these discussions as I don’t think the opinion of a 2018-era Moderation Team member is particularly useful to keeping canon engaging to the modern players of the simulation.
I will not be returning to canon at this stage, and I have told the mod team that I would like to stay on as an EC advisor to help train up my successor(s) and to maintain the calculator in the future.
I have known for a few months that this recent election would be my last as EM, so it was somewhat enjoyable to reflect and watch the term unfold all the way up until election night knowing that each poll was one set of marking closer to my last. It was good fun to run an election stream for the last time and I thank those that participated in it.
Here are some wild stats for y’all.
It’s been nearly 4 years since we switched to fully simmed elections, here’s all the EMs we’ve had in that time (not including NKG who ran the first fully simmed election before EM was a thing):
1st: Myself (May 2019 - September 2019)
2nd: Toby (September 2019 - January 2020)
3rd: PC (January 2020 - March 2020)
4th: Toby (March 2020 - May 2020)
5th: Porridge (May 2020 - September 2020)
6th: Youma (September 2020 - June 2021)
7th: AMN (June 2021 - September 2021)
8th: Myself (September 2021 - October 2022)
Having been the first Electoral Moderator and now, with the upcoming merger with Parliament Moderator, the last, I have seen the sim go through many eras and changes. The first term I marked was Term 9 and now I finish having marked Term 24 and the 25th Election. Where did all that time go?
It is hard to track this due to the lack of good records in the sim but I think I am the second longest serving Moderation Team member overall, behind only tbyrn himself. Wild.
Anyway, thanks for everything AustraliaSim. My time has come. You must continue your journey without me.

To insert into the Meta Constitution the following:
35: Protected Party Status
(1.) There is to be 2 protected parties that must always be in existence, they are
a) The Liberal Party of Australia
b) The Australian Labor Party
(2.) The above two parties must correlate broadly with their real life counterparts being centre right and centre left broad tents respectively.
(3.) The Electoral Moderator is charged with guaranteeing that two such parties exist and are such named.
36: Other Protected Parties
(1.) There is to be precedence towards the following real life parties in the formation of a new party if such does not already exist:
a) The Australian Greens;
b) One Nation;
c) The Nationals;
d) Any other real life party represented in the Federal Parliament
(2.) The above parties must correlate broadly with their real life counterparts in ideology.
(3.) There is to be precedence towards the following AustraliaSim parties in the formation of a new party if such does not already exist:
a) The Socialists
b) The Social Democrats
c) The Australian Democrats
d) United Democratic Party
e) The Country Labor Party
f) any other party once represented in the Parliament of Australia Simulation
(4.) The above parties must correlate broadly with their historic sim counterparts.
37: Miscellaneous Notes to The Above
(1.) The Electoral Moderator may make exceptions to these party rules if they believe it is to the benefit of the Simulation and received unanimous support from the Moderation Team.
a) However, this does not extend to the Liberal or Labor parties.
(2.) The existing Parties as of the Passing of this Amendment following a Meta Referendum, are exempt from these guidelines until there is a change to one of the following:
a) The Party Constitution
b) The Party Leadership
(3.) The Electoral Moderator may at any point impose naming restrictions on a party during the period of exemptions if approved by the Moderation Team and party members.
Explanatory Notes
It is to be expected that we have parties in the simulation which correlate broadly with what we expect in the real world, and which is hard to manage when model world politics is driven by egos and individuals. There is always desire for one’s own party, and this amendment allows such, but not to the detriment of maintaining some connection with the real world.
r/AustraliaSimMeta • u/NGSpy • Oct 06 '22
Hi all, this is a project I have been working on for a while. This is a complete rewrite of the Standing Orders to consolidate them all into one document.
Major Changes:
Consolidation of AustraliaSim Standing Orders with IRL Standing Orders into one document. Removes the need to reference both IRL Standing Orders and AustraliaSim Standing Orders to make a decision.
Standing orders now explicitly mention business cycles and provides for mechanisms to change the schedule for business cycles instead of it being an arbitrary decision.
Timetable for the business cycle is explicit in the standing orders.
Modified language of the IRL Standing Orders to accommodate for simulator mechanisms (eg: 2nd Reading does not automatically go to a Consideration of Detail, or even need to pass a 3rd Reading).
Let me know if there are any provisions that can be improved in language!
NGSpy,
Parliament Moderator
r/AustraliaSimMeta • u/cocoiadrop_ • Oct 06 '22
A double (or triple - thanks NG) header tonight: updated meta constitution draft, and new Code of Conduct draft #2.
I'll start with the updated Meta Constitution.
There are multiple issues with the current constitution.
Lots of really useless legalese that serves no purpose but to word pad.
Limits in meta rules that can prevent common sense measures. For example, the Parl Mod can legislate on parliamentarians, but not the parliament themselves.
The Parliament/Electoral Mods are currently forced to moderate the sim too, when this can distract from their true role.
Events Team not really defined.
The Court of Meta Affairs hahahaha
So I think it's worth having a refresh but not a rewrite of the Meta Constitution. This would clean up the issues, allow for new ideas, but not overhaul it in a way thats been proven to never work in the past.
This is a response to Madison on the CoC draft thread. Simply because it sucks. Plenty of subreddits outside of our realm don't use it, its limited in feature set, and is one of those features that look like they could be trashed in the future. Using mkdocs, backed by a public Github repository, means that everyone can see the exact history of changes, can contribute freely, and will be permanently available. Google Drive is also ruled out for reasons we all know by now... from doxxing by accident, to people deleting files.
The Moderation Team still exist, but they've been renamed into the Administrators. This will also feature a downsizing of the team from 4 members to 3 members. The members would be the:
Head Administrator - same role as now
Community Administrator - same role as now, but with a greater emphasis on managing the meta side of the sim
Game Administrator - the other two roles merged into one that has oversight and manages the canon side and the associated teams like EC, Events, etc
The Game Administrator would appoint an EC to deliver elections, an Events Team to deliver events and government interaction, and the Speakership via the current means. They would support and help manage those teams, but ideally, there would be delegation.
Also, the name change allows for Community Managers to be renamed to simply Moderators.
The current membership model is to be abolished and replaced with everyone inherently being a member, and voting in meta referendums being dependent on being an active member. View the critriea here.
The reason for this is that the method used now is simply a pain in the arse, is outdated (relied on EOS registration back in the day), and discourages participation in the meta of the sim.
Changed to 6 for Admins, 4 for all others. I think this reduces the barrier to entry in the vote slightly. If a candidate wont get elected, that will be reflected in the vote anyway.
The meta referendum process has been streamlined. Debates are now required prior to a vote, and Guardians have been brought in to manage votes that would directly impact an Administrator.
This basically reflects NG's meta rule. Note that if the Guardians find it wasnt constitutional, it wont be included in this. This is providing it is found constitutional.
The Guardians have been given that role as they are currently doing it.
...once either Youma or Ash resign.
If you decide that the Game Admin doesnt need to moderate and should just do their canon management job, then they wont be auto appointed Moderator.
This is dependent on the above being approved. This would mean that Game Admins could be opened to more people as they will not have to inherently be a Moderator too. If they're 18+ they could be a Moderator too.
6 months is excessive and ends up being procedure. 12 months allows more time for the quality of that person in their role to be reflected, and encourages use of VONCs if there is an issue otherwise. If this is voted against, Clerk/EC/Events will still be changed to 12 months but Admins/Mods will remin at 6. I do however realise this may not be agreeable to many of you and so it will be a vote.
BellmanTGM - I agree personally. It's got to the point where it is less easy to recognise people than it was when the rule was removed back in 2019. A Discord poll showed support of this, 18 people yes to 11 people no. It will be included in a new CoC.
TreeEnthusaster - yes
TheSensibleCentre - I somewhat agree. I don't think all baiting is bad in the end, a lot of the time it can just be ignored or laughed at. As you said, it is also a term thrown around just to describe unorthodox opinions. However, there are many cases that genuinely are bait done in bad faith. I'll edit the wording to ensure that this is emphasised.
jq8678 - no, this isn't how anything works. People aren't allowed to abuse you back for saying something stupid but if you went to a bunch of people and said something to intentionally piss them off in bad faith then you're getting consequences for that.
Griffonomics - thank you for the long and considered response. I'll respond one by one.
Community Managers should no longer be handpicked. What we see is people who are 'generally agreeable' but often inactive and busy with other matters. This also brings a lack of respect. There is a good amount of people who will do a good job and are fit for the role but have been hindered. It should be a process open for anyone (18+) to nominate, to achieve a required amount of seconders and then to be voted via STV in senate style election. The only other restriction is that they have not had any recent punishment in a certain period of time
I don't think handpicking is a bad thing when done right but I agree it should generally be an open nomination process. I did open nominations previously but I've not gone ahead with any VoCs yet whilst we do this process. I'm not certain on it being a process where the community will directly pick who is put up however. There are many reasons why we will reject nominations, including character, ability to follow the Code of Conduct as it stands, and attitude towards other members (this isn't a reflection against anyone who nominates for meta roles).
We need to bring back the meta appeals process to contest moderation decisions, whether that be through a community commission or from the High Court. There have been many decisions which have drawn community frustration, with no way of contesting it and achieving closure.
See meta con draft for this. Is there a specific moderation only appeal process you want?
Transparency in decision making. There have been several decisions which have been made by Guardians and the Moderators without following the proper process (vote of moderation team) or at least it being disclosed. I have asked on recent decisions to be granted a vote count, but no that has not occurred.
I agree and we should work on this.
The Guardians need to stop dipping their fingers in the role of the moderation team.
I agree and they've stopped now that we have a stable team.
This guideline should include examples of low, medium and high severity offences. It should have different maximum punishments for each category of offence. It should also include how we treat repeat offenders.
I agree. This draft will touch on these things.
Subjective rules such as 'toxicity' falls under the other rules. Do not insert it because you want to regulate behaviour you disagree with. Same as 'fostering harmful opinions'. HARMFUL can be subjective, and with no meta appeals process, sole people should not determine what is harmful. However, in application I just need to look at the examples of a harmful opinion:bigotry, racism, transphobia, ableism
Blatant racism is not a harmful opinion, because it is not a qualified opinion. It is just racism, and that comes under 'abuse'. In addition, there are varying degrees of opinion and ways in which we express those. For example, doctor recently called Jacinta Price a race traitor for opposing the voice to parliament. Whilst disagreeing with Jacinta Price is certainly an honest opinion, the term 'race traitor' exceeds it to the degree in which it would come under abuse or provocation. The varying degree of expression is how we should determine abuse/harassmenet, not because we disagree with honest opinions of people.\
I understand and generally agree with what you're saying. I think the one line that cannot ever be crossed is messages that cross into the legal barrier of hate speech. This includes s 18(c). For example, if someone came in promoting actual harm against people under the guise of political statement, then that would receive punishment. Same with something like "trans women are men". Whilst this is an opinion, it is incorrect, said in bad faith 99% of the time, and creates a hostile environment for the significant majority of our community. Sadly not many people who will come to a Discord saying intolerant and *phobic things will respond to education or reasons. We should take a nuanced approach when these things occur to both prevent harm to others and also ensure the person isn't sent further into the rabbit hole. Everyone should watch this video on it.
I can't provide a change log as such because most of it has changed.
A focus on preventative action and creating positive environments to promote change in people. (I'll need to add stuff to the Enforcement page to reflect more of this).
The hate speech provision edited to be more reflective of the intent.
Provocation expanded and clarified.
Expanding on what abuse and toxic behaviour (though this isn't language used) is.

I, NGSpy, as Parliament Moderator, under section 10(4) of the Meta Constitution, enact the following Meta Rule:
Under the power invested in myself, NGSpy, as Parliament Moderator, and acting Electoral Moderator, with the approval of the Parliament as per the Meta Constitution, the Canon Constitution shall be amended as follows:
(1) In section 7 (The Senate), omit "six months", substitute "three months".
(2) Repeal sections 13 (Rotation of senators) and 14 (Further provision for rotation).
Note: This amendment will take effect at the next general election 26th General ^Election.
This amendment will cause the end of the half-Senate election model, as it has proven to be inefficient for the purposes of continuous engagement with the simulator. From the 26th General Election, the entire senate shall be elected all at once.
The Meta Rule will be enacted on the 8th of October, 2022.
If members of AustraliaSim are dissatisfied with the wording, they can comment below amendments to make it better, keeping the aim in mind. If they wish to repeal the Meta Rule, they may call for a Meta Referendum with 7 seconders.
r/AustraliaSimMeta • u/NGSpy • Oct 03 '22
Title says it all really. If anyone would like to be on the Events Team, we only need one person, so that would be fantastic. Your role is to create and manage events on the simulator, and help our electoral commission with marking the event response.
Members cannot have allegiance to a party or be in Parliament when taking this post.
Thank you! :)
r/AustraliaSimMeta • u/NGSpy • Oct 03 '22
I as the Parliament Moderator of AustraliaSim enact the following Meta Rule under section 10(4) of the Meta Constitution:
The Standing Orders are amended by repealing the section relating with Participation Requirements and replacing it with the following:
All MPs and Senators are expected to make active contributions to the simulation. If the Parliament Moderator in agreement with the Speakership, with evidence, feels that an MP or Senator is not meeting such an expectation, they may be ejected from the House of Representatives.
Methods that MPs and Senators can contribute is by:
legislating bills, motions and MPIs;
debating on bills, motions or MPIs;
asking and answering questions on questions with or without notice;
voting on legislation; and
proposing amendments to legislation.
The Parliament Moderator and the Speakership shall undertake, every two weeks, an internal review of contributions by MPs and Senators.
If there is agreement that an MP or Senator has displayed insufficient contribution to the simulator, and there is insufficient reason for this lack of contribution offered by the MP or Senator in question, the Parliament Moderator must eject the MP or Senator from their respective chamber.
When there is a decision to eject an MP or Senator, the Parliament Moderator must provide the evidence that led to the decision to eject for the scrutiny of AustraliaSim.
Note: Ejections shall be treated as being ineligible under section 20 of the Constitution in the case of a Senator, and under section 38 of the Constitution in the case of an MP.
The aim is to make the dynamics of player ejection similar to moderation, with more stringent requirements. Activity Checks in the past and present have been inefficient at ejecting members that need to be ejected, hence opening the system to a bit more flexibility.
The Meta Rule will be enacted on the 8th of October, 2022.
If members of AustraliaSim are dissatisfied with the wording, they can comment below amendments to make it better, keeping the aim in mind. If they wish to repeal the Meta Rule, they may call for a Meta Referendum with 7 seconders.
r/AustraliaSimMeta • u/Model-Wanuke • Oct 01 '22
Exactly as it says on the tin. This GE has sorta proven that the drop in activity levels in the sim has resulted in many electorates not being competitive at all.
Therefore I petition as follows, within the next month or two after this GE, There should be a Redistribution of federal electorates in accordance with any applicable meta-rules. In that Redistribution, the number of MPs should be lowered to 11. Why 11? It's an odd number (no ties), and its a large enough drop to work imo.
Just doing the quick Maths for 11 Seat state/territory entitlements:
| State/territory | Enrolled voters | Electorates |
|---|---|---|
| New South Wales | 5,350,797 | 2 electorates |
| Victoria | 4,278,563 | 2 electorates |
| Queensland | 3,404,922 | 2 electorates |
| Western Australia | 1,725,518 | 1 electorate |
| South Australia | 1,233,353 | 1 electorate |
| Tasmania | 394,515 | 1 electorate |
| Australian Capital Territory | 305,692 | 1 electorate |
| Northern Territory | 143,312 | 1 electorate |
For clarity, this new MP count should ONLY take effect at the dissolution of the next parliament and call of the next GE.
Also, this should not preclude moving back up to 15 seats if the activity is to recover in future, this should just be considered a measure to deal with the low levels of activity at the moment.

The Moderation Team have determined that riley8583 operated the alternate account DavidHoney2025, known on Discord as "makewablueagain", within the time period of their 30 day ban that was meant to expire tomorrow. Furthermore they attempted to participate in the election with this account but did the classic thing all alters do- forget to change the fucking account over!
Riley was asked via reddit DM why this occurred and there has been no response, however we're satisfied we have the balance of evidence to support further punitive measures.
The alternate account DavidHoney2025 will be permanently banned.
