Re: [Amendment] CdeC no longer decides on citizenship
Originally, Citizens were decided by the site's administration, meaning staff. The decision making process was closed to anyone without access to the staff forum; that prevented enmity towards staff and also permitted a free exchange of opinions on the quality of a member. The CdeC supplanted staff in this role with, initially, similar conditions. Later the patronisation process became more open for non-members. Now, if we have an open discussion thread and a vote, how are we going to prevent resentment from failed applicants towards nonsupporting members?
I don't know, I haven't been around the place lately but I consider that the whole Curial stagnation thing is a vicious circle running from lack of purpose to lack of confidence and back to lack of purpose. Curia should be entrusted with a purpose beyond atavistic self-perpetuation but do we trust it enough for that? And will it ever gain trust if there is no sense of purpose?
The other perspective is to enhance the role playing element (political parties, open Ostracism, christians, lions) but even for that a sense of purpose is necessary.
