Civitates do not have any direct power over how the TWC is run but can effect change through proposing bills and voting on them. This (the proposing of bills and voting) is done through interaction between other Civitates and Magistrates in the Curia (which is divided into the Curia and the Prothalamos). As a Civitate, one is expected to follow the Code of Conduct, as specified in the Syntagma respecting the rules therein. Ideally all members of the TWC community would respect the rules of the Syntagma, but Civitates are held to a higher level of expectation (more so when posting in the Curia). Civitates should not attack other members of the community (but may disagree with arguements and/or theories), keep their posts clear, not hijack threads, respect the moderators. If a Civitate shows himself to be a valuable community member who improves the TWC he/she may eventually become a Patrician (after 3 months of good conduct) and run for office. In short, the Civitates of TWC (as I understand the position) are meant to help make the TWC a better place for all by being good role models. Civitates are also able to effect change through (as stated earlier) bills which are put forth to better the TWC community.

Decemvir is a good, contributing member. He is always polite, and unlike so many other of our members, and even Civitates, disputes the point, rather than attacking the poster. He's an active member of the VV & I think he is somebody who highly deserves civitate rank.

Note : Decemvir's very small post per day count is only because he has been registered for along time before starting to post regularly.
