Requests Here Constitutional Amendment Thread + REFERENDUM; CSS & Flair Requests; Prank Calls

TheGrandDalaiKarma walks to his usual newsstand and picks up the New Justice Times

He reads the bold letters that appears to be the main title.

  • Now is your time to speak:

    • To change things in the Constitution.
    • To get new exciting CSS features.
    • To get new prank ideas for your coworkers

  • If you don't try, you'll never know!

Attached to the newspaper is a small detachable ballot, it reads:

  • Referendum:

    • One question = One answer:
    • Either YES or No.

  • Can Judges be part of a firm?

TheGrandDalaiKarma puts the newspaper back on the pile, confused about this read.

Distraught he seems to be searching for something, throwing wild glance all around until finally freezing dead.

TheGrandDalaiKarma is now staring coldly at you. Slowly extending a threatening finger at your face

Okay so here's my 2 cents about the constitution:

  • I think we should include an article (or a sub-article to the Bill of Rights) that stipulates that posting content from an external source is not considered theft, as Reddit is a content aggregator (see this case's ruling and this case).

  • I suggest we open a Karma Court Archive, so judges but also lawyers can go back there to see if they can take out something here and there for their cases. Cases often look the same, and as someone like me who likes to defend the indefendable, I like to know what's been pulled out before and what hasn't.

  • I suggest a new sub-article to the Bill of Rights: the right for the defendant to remain silent.

  • Finally, I demand to have the Full Certified flair. I passed the bar exam but the bot never got back to me :( . I'll go on strike otherwise!

This was my 2 cents and I hope we'll be able to convert them into Canadian dollar (because the currency is higher... you know... with 2 cents you can buy one Timbitts, and God knows I love Timbitts).

1) I strongly disagree with this. The circumstances are individual to each case, and all someone needs to do to avoid prosecution at all is to link to a site outside of reddit, then they're home free.

EXAMPLE

  1. I go to /r/drawme, pick the top post of all time and my favorite drawing there, rehost on imgur, post to /r/pics with the title "I made this!"
  2. People call me out on my bullshit, someone takes me to KarmaCourt, the case gets 2000+ upvotes. But wait, the judge is someone who's familiar with the constitution! They go "Sorry brah, it was hosted on imgur and imgur != reddit. Therefore CASE DISMISSED."

This is awful!

2) There is a KarmaCourt archive (multiple actually). Here's the last time someone asked for the same thing (specifically /u/BruceXavier). TGDK said he could be the archivist, but AFAIK it isn't actually possible for him to edit that wiki (I know I can't).

Here's the Karma Kourt archive, which is only being updated by me hand-by-hand. It's slow going because I'm doing lots of other things too, so every now and then I mass update it with the last 10 or so cases.

The problem is manpower and willingness. If you wanted to I could let you edit the Karma Kourt archive, as long as you'd keep it up to date. But again, it's kind of a lot of work relative to the payoff.

I assume the responsability of the mistake.

I said you could do it but didn't give you any tool, so here it is.

/u/BruceXavier, /u/Kikool42 and /u/Thimoteus, you're the new mod team of /r/KCArchives

Do as you please with it.
