SENATE BILL: De-Registration Act (Vetoed)

[Badger]

I)  Any person who has deregistered shall not be allowed to register again in Atlasia for fifteen (15) days following his/her deregistration.

Nope, I support the 60 days period.

And sections III) and IV) are not directly related to de-registration and thus don't have their place on this bill.

60 days is too long IMHO. Too great a chance of someone not re-joining Atlasia as soon as they cool down which, in the long run, is the best thing.

The no-re-register period should be just long enough to keep people from giving the RG annoying busywork through frivilous constant registering and re-registering. Anything longer then that smacks of an unnecessary--dare I say even a bit vindictive sounding---a punishment.

[Badger]

I think 15 days is far too short a period. It could be a strong encouragement for childish attitudes that, without making the RG's life a hell, would uselessly bother him.

I dunno. What does the RG say about all this? He's the guy who ought to be front and center in the debate over what he thinks will work.

[Badger]

Badger, why doesn't Section 2 assuage your concerns? Hopefully by providing those seven days between de-registration's announcement and implementation cooler heads can prevail. But I'm not sure that it's inappropriate to ask that if you do go through with de-registration then you miss the next election, which is accomplished by the 60 days.

Just my two cents since you asked:

I'd like to leave every possible door open to people rejoining Atlasia while simply keeping the RG from having to juggle too many hasty changes. Whatever works for Hans is of primary importance. Beyond that, I just feel that even with the initial 7 day cooling off period the 60 day ban on re-registering is unnecessarily long. I'll defer to Hans here, but is 2 months really necessary to avoid overloading him with work? IMHO a week or two should be sufficient to keep things manageable. Sixty days seems less necessary for smooth functioning of the RG's office and more punitive towards people that dare leave our game.

Even if that's not the intent, it certainly discourages resuming activity in Atlasia to an unnecessary degree.
