[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I was requested by a Southern citizen to bring this up in the Senate directly, as such I have sponsor this on their behalf and the behalf of the House.

As you will recall the forum admin requested that we come up with board descriptions for the AFG board, and this bill is seeking to accomplish that objective and give her a response as to what we desire to put in said descriptions.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Apparently, there is a way to move the threads via creating some kind of code based filter or something like that (not my area of expertise) but Virginia was the one who mentioned it and thus she would probably be the one that creates it.

As to the concern about changes in the future, the presumption is that with Virginia as admin such future changes would be more timely, whereas in the past once Dave did something it could be ten years before a change was made.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

For what is worth, I did PM Virginia asking if she could explain the process for how the split would work or could work anyway.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Well that seems to have not worked for some reason.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

A vote is now open on the amendment, Senators please vote aye, nay or Abstain.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Whats next here?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Would it be easier to just archive the existing Regional Board, and just have the new boards for new threads for each region, so that no old threads will need to be allocated?

I doubt that anyone wants to waste their time moving each thread, so I'd say so.

I disagree. I think it would be more convenient for all threads of post-reset regions to be included their respective regional board for sake of easier access when needing to research the current laws. But this wouldn't be that big of a deal since we have the wiki for that purpose, so I don't have strong feelings regarding that.

I mean, if you want to try convincing Yankee, Lumine, or Virginia to move each thread in the regional board going back to 2016, be my guest.

I actually raised this concern before when this was discussed in the modcave and apparently there is a way to filter the threads in the code using a key word. I am not an expert on this matter, but perhaps if someone who is not presently in the current moments boycotting discord for reasons personal health and sanity, might want to try DMing her for clarification, as my PM yielded no response.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

That is why I proposed my amenmdent in fact

Anyways how do you filibuster a bill? /s

Keep talking at an interval of less than 24 hours, and object to final vote requests.

If the person who motions for the final vote, motions for cloture though, unless you have 3 votes then that's kind of it.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Aren't very good at this filibuster thing I see.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

A final vote is now open on this legislation, Senators please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

AYE

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Senators have 24 hours to change their votes.
