For the purposes of this clause, an active member is defined to be one who has posted at least twenty-five times since the last federal election in which he or she voted. If the person has not voted in any federal election since registering to vote, that person shall be counted as an active member.
The language of these two sentences needs to be changed. This would allow a member to register and potentially sit out every election and still be classified as an active member. I would suggest amending this to read, "For the purpose of this clause, an active member is defined as one who has posted at least twenty-five times on the Atlas Forum in the period between any two federal elections. First time registrants will be considered active, regardless of the number of posts after registration, until the first federal election following their registration, at which point registrants will be required to post twenty-five times between any two federal elections."
Anyway...Great job on writing the bill and the amendment, Gabu.
