Would parallel standards be an acceptable compromise?

Yeah, I'm not really against that either as long as our money has something backing it.  Compromise will most likely be necessary

Troll Banishment Act

With the unanimous agreement of the Atlasian Senate and the President, an Atlasian considered a "troll" may be banished from Atlasia. They are not allowed to vote or participate in Atlasia in any way, shape or form.


Please? Anyone?

Excellent, although I think 3/4 may be a better standard.

They'd still post here though, unless Gustaf and MasterJedi agree to delete all their posts here (which I seriously doubt they'd be willing to do).

Trolls get off on their ability to influence others.  Removing that inside-the-system influence could only help.  Worst case scenario is no change.

Something is better than nothing, yes, but the problem with trolls in Atlasia isn't so much that they're swinging elections with their votes or screwing up the system by creating new parties. It's just that they're annoying and won't go away. I don't think that this bill would change that.

since we don't want some senators starting threads against everyone we don't like or unnecessary hatred injected into the forum (it's unnecessary if it doesn't accomplish anything), maybe some sort of secrecy could be implemented.  Like, discussing the person in question over PM's to see if unanimous support already exists, and if it doesn't, tabling the motion before it goes public.

     I would support this. After all, it's a game. It should be enjoyable, not troll-infested.

is anyone pretending that certain internet trolls ARE NOT currently getting off on being able to substantially influence the Fantasy Election system from through legal means?  Observe recent threads.

It was intended as satire, but if people actually like the idea then by all means...

I do like the idea, if it's modified for practicality.  Since Dave Leip has so outrageously exerted himself as impotent, it'd be nice for the Senate to actually have some auxillary power.

I am opposed to the bill in question. In real life the legislature does not imprison people after a quick vote. I'm not opposed to making trolling a criminal offense here, but this goes too far.

Unfortunate but true.

I would actually support legislation making trolling a criminal offense. Someone write that up.

Its not cordial to make it so that no other senator can properly propose a bill the whole session.  It'll take us weeks to sort through all your drivel with the result being 20 or so failed bills.
