[Mermaid]Well..we had JoeDees and then metahuman who were subject to the disciplinary process. It was the 'Sheriff's decision. The proposed DiP involves too many people and imo, very suspect in terms of the process. Disruption in the CoV, as I explained above, is limited now to ..well..etiquette. Noone is giving CoV bad publicity(we are not well known), nobody is misrepresenting CoV(we dont have a public voice), nobody is embezzeling cash(we are piss poor)...I can go on..but that would only reflect how pathetically limited we are by our own devices(DiP, for example..which is only going to shut people up more..esp because of the fear of saying the wrong thing...there is already a system to get rid of the misbehaving ones..*because* it is simple..i.e. you cross a line, you will be silenced..period. end of story...so people are unlikely to abuse the system...not to mention that its quicker and more efficient....you see, people dont have the options to wave their flapdoodle around and get away with murder..a ver
y easy scenario with the DiP...as its a council..anyone person can bring someone down if he doesnt like that person..or save a real troublemaker's ass if he is a good friend..i.e. abuse of a system..all this for net etiquette seems a little excessive...) when it comes to real action in the real world.
I think the CoV needs to concentrate on its goals and the spread of new benificial memes, all this disownment stuff is giving me the jitters, even though it is important, I do think Mermaid has a good point considering how few active members there are.
