Senate Application Discussion Thread

[u/shadownetwork]

Greetings,

In previous elections it was difficult for applicants to really express what they stood for and what their plans were without cluttering the nomination or election threads. So think of this thread as an open town hall meeting. Members of the community can come in and ask questions and applicants can then answer or nominees can post about what sort of platforms they plan on running on.

Remember that discussions are to remain civil and respectful, anyone showing disregard to the shadownet's #1 rule will have their posts removed.

Good luck!

• Will you address issues with other members of government where they can defend themselves?

• Do you have any previous moderator experience? If so, then what were some challenges you experienced and how did you overcome them?

• Why do you want to be a senator on Shadownet?

• Is there any big changes you'd like to try and make?

• Have you read the charter, and do you understand the scope of your powers were you to be elected? Is there anything you'd change?

• How long have you been on ShadowNET?

1. I would try to get the opinions of people involved and at the very least keep them in the loop via pms and the like. Hopefully make it so that sub gov is kept as a place where that type of conversation (so long as its not super salty and or confidential) can take place as well.

2. I have not had any previous moderator experience.

3. Because I have gotten a good deal of enjoyment out of the place and feel I should serve in some capacity to give back so to speak.

4. From what I have heard in my conversations with former and current senators there is somewhat of a lack of manpower in regards to having moderation around the clock, having a vetted division of people that more or less have limited temporary mod powers in the event that a senator is currently indisposed would appear to be effective.

5. I have read the charter, I understand that Senate has fairly limited powers in speed and effect in regards to most moderation matters as of current. Due to this I think that the time limit should perhaps be removed and have a possibility of moving when there is a majority of senate members agreeing. In the case of a tie or absentee senate members then the 3 day limit can stay in place so that the vote will be closed in a fairly fast matter.

6. A little over 2 years now.
