    So it is someone else's fault you cannot ask the questions you want to ask in the place where those sorts of questions are explicitly reserved to occur?

    Or, and my goodness, are you insinuating site moderation has engaged in activities to disenfranchise you with regards to such debates and questioning of candidates? Don't get me wrong. Basically every single thing you post with regards to politics and even the curia is laughably wrong and baseless, but I will defend your right to post it.

    Not sure what triggered you there. What am I supposed to ask now? Clearly you know better...

    Just so you know, not being able to address the rebuttals/criticism of your claims/arguments do not constitute laughably wrong and baseless things as you suggest. It helps to be accurate about these basics.

    Already asked my question. Had my answer. Commented on that answer even. We had cake. Sorry you didn't get any piece. If you have some magical information on what I'm supposed to ask next about do tell us and entertain the lot please. You have no idea how much fun it can be to see that.

    So you are satisfied. Ask another question then, or I invite you to...use your imagination.

    If you were not so prompt at spreading your rant against Moderation, you would have noticed that I'm acting here as Consul and not as Moderator. Regarding my answer itself, would you have prefererred to get an hypocritical answer?

    For your information, the debate thread is dedicated to discuss about the applicants and their motivations. As far As I'm concerned, I have not applied to become Magistrate. Hence the reason why your post has been moved here as not related to the on-going election.
    But yes, I could have done like my predecessor and just have deleted it as off-topic.

    It wasn't a rant against moderation in general. It was a criticism of a stance you took while wearing the Moderator badge. You acting here as a Consul here doesn't really change the problematic nature of your apparently biased view of applicants. I would not have preferred a hypocritical answer but I did indeed got one.

    No one criticized your moving of my post here. In your attempt to counter anything I said you are making really petty points. What you should have done was to explain to Pontifex Maximus why my post is here given that he deemed it off-topic earlier. That's the second time in a row that you have conducted in a biased fashion.

    Seth, your posts were moved because they were off-topic. The debate thread exists to apply for magistrate and to ask questions of the candidates, that's it. You did neither of those things. Nobody is trying to censor you. Get over it man.

    I was there, too.

    It was certainly a very active period, but it was mostly due to the plethora of new modding awards assigned, and that was a joint effort, so no one can claim to have a special merit on that. From the point of view of discussions/amendments it was pretty standard, just slightly better than 2020, but by far not even close to the glorious times of the early and mid Curia.

    I never said I was being censored. I never questioned why my post was moved here either. I'm not sure how you manage to get it so wrong.

    Be honnest with yourself: the only reason you're creating all this drama and bad tossing is just because you have found anther way to give some to a moderator outside the Mod Com. I don't mind. Keep going if it pleases you. As I said in my post you quoted, this is so common that I'm bored with it

    Yet, you are the one creating drama right now. A really petty one at that. A false one too given that lately I've been on the side of moderators more than I have criticized their actions. I really didn't expect your conduct to stoop so low.

    God you just cannot resist responding to people with snark and condescension, can you?

    Dear Citizens, the amendment to have the elections set in due time has passed (see results here). The Constitution will be updated within the next few days.

    Hilarious to drop in after years away and see not a single topic of conversation in the CVRIA has changed!

    Also that Patricians are back, but alas I do not seem to qualify.
