SENATE BILL: Fair Deregistration Rights Act (Law'd)

[homelycooking]

Not this "public post" thing again... Nix, could you amend the bill to stipulate that the public post must occur in the New Register Thread?

Otherwise, I can support a deregistration law so long as Section 2 is stricken from the bill and the deregistration is made to be immediate. If an individual chooses to be deregistered, he should be well aware of the permanence of such a decision and not permitted to vacillate on it. I'm concerned that citizens could repeatedly threaten to deregister themselves and then renege within seven days. Besides, they are not permitted to do that (renege within seven days) when they register anew.

I would also prefer that deregistration be made to last, at minimum, for a period of 180 days before re-registration.

Marokai, 48 hours is certainly preferable to 7 days, but I think immediate deregistration would serve to ensure that only the people most committed to leaving the game permanently do so or even entertain the idea, and that it's not used for the purposes of jokes, threats or political manipulation.

Also, why 60 days as the term of deregistration?

Thank you, Nix, though I don't see why Amendment 3 shouldn't also include the "New Register Thread" stipulation.

Napoleon, you may want to consider an alternative to voluntary deregistration, such as decreasing the number of missed elections required for automatic deregistration from 3 to 2. That is actually something I'd rather see passed than the bill currently on offer.
