With friendly permission from mishkin, to whom goes the credit for this initiative. This amendment is aimed at removing confusion regarding the necessity and procedure to obtain moderational clearance in Citizenship applications in accordance with the Requirements as of Section I, Article I.
Informal Discussion in the Townhall regarding this topic You know what I mean
To qualify for Citizenship, a member must have at least fifty posts, been a registered member for two months, and have not received a Moderation Warning or Curial Warning within the past six months.
A moderator has always stated during the application process "The guy is clean" / "Oh my god what the hell are you doing!!?? Withdraw!! Withdraw!!!"This application.
Just in case, I'm not worried about a particular user, but by the procedure.Right, the Curia is the domain of the Curator and whoever he nominates as his CA's and moderators have no official moderation power here - well if we have global powers we can at a pinch, but we do not moderate here - we'd get a great deal of flak if we did.
For the specific case, no worries there. Easiest way is to make it a Curatorial role to request a check from moderation overseer, does that really need to be a constitutional change? If so should be easy to get sorted.It is the Curator's responsibility to ensure candidates meet the requirements for citizenship:
If the Curator requires we check they meet this moderation warning requirement, they can ask Hexagon. This has happened in the past on many an occasion. Preferably a Moderation Overseer should be asked as Ybbon says, but it can just as easily be anyone in Hex. It has become a thing where those with access to moderation records give out statements in most applications like 'clean record' etc for the sake of expediency. I expect it didn't happen for the application in question because the candidate was a member of Site Staff and we don't have people causing Moderation problems in other Staff branches. This is always a given.
FYI - all of moderation and Hex see moderation reports whether they're specifically assigned to a given forum locally or not.
