While I don't approve of the recent wave of zombie RPP voters, I don't think zombie reform would do more harm than good. I was recruited when I had, IIRC, 70ish posts. I got really into the game, and now look where I am. If you could somehow enact zombie reform that allowed somebody like me to join when I did but not a zombie, I'm all for it. I just don't see how you can do it though.

The idea of the legislation is not to discourage newbies, but from making sure that they stay active if they want to continue voting

Ah.

I am bumping this because more people should read it. I've had several people talk to me through PM relating their own concerns to mine, and I know other people are out there who've seen all this nonsense too.

What exactly would you do to solve this problem Mr. Vice-President?

What can be done? The damage has already occured, and there's really no way to legislate against it all. The only thing I can really ask for is that those involved actually make an admission of guilt, and that the rest of Atlasia can see this evidence and know what's really going on.

I am disappointed by the strategies some in my party are using. I would like to point out that (I won't mention names) only a handful of RPPers are behind this while the rest have largely refrained from these tactics.

I too, hope for an admission of guilt, especially because only a few months ago they railed against the JCP's use of zombies.

lolz, requiring activity in Atlasia? What, you expect someone to look through the posting histories of 80+ voters every election? Get real.

JCP members are active elsewhere on the forum. How do they know who to vote for? They see posts by people like Fritz, Marokai Blue and RowanBrandon all over the forum, and they know who is more politically compatible with them.

I'm not automatically opposed to reform---you guys haven't come up with a decent idea yet.

Not mention that many of these "zombies" probably read this board, they just don't post or run for office.

It's not like the JCP doesn't tell it's less active members how to vote though. I doubt it's a coincidence that Fritz and Marokai have had the same number of votes this whole time.
