Celestial Being, Sovereign, Defender of the Realm, Convenor, Prelate) have to fill out a Conflict of Interest Disclosure.

I understand and agree with the idea but don't think it should be an official rule, maybe more of an unofficial practice for voters to know/ask where a candidate is in NS?

I bring this up because that's exactly what Unibot tried to do to me, in The South Pacific, all because I forgot I held the position of "Officer" for a week in The Rejected Realms. These sort of laws are ripe for abuse.

These sort of laws are ripe for abuse. Unibot is a ... Unique person. But yes, you are correct. I propose we prescribe a time frame of 1 year.
