[Proposal] Criminal Powers Amendment (September 2018)

[Cormac]

The amendment completely undermines the purpose of the provision being amended, which was to give the Delegate and the CLS flexibility so they could remove disruptive individuals without being constrained by poorly defined crimes and nonsense court rulings. This amendment would force our community to potentially go through the kind of crap TSP goes through, where people can disrupt the community, drive people away from the region or even the game, etc., and not see any consequences for long periods of time, if ever, because they didn't technically commit any crime. Why would we want that? Where's the benefit?

I'm 100% against this. We don't need a criminal code, and we don't need a criminal court. It will just lead to unchecked disruption of the community and turn us into another toxic waste dump like TSP and other so-called "democratic" regions.

This amendment does not alter or remove the section empowering the delegate to do the same things with the approval of the CLS.  

I misread and didn't realize this doesn't amend Article II, Section 6 of Mandate 12, so my apologies for that. I don't understand the point of this amendment though -- why would the Delegate ever want to use this process instead of the simpler process in Section 6, and why would we ever want the Delegate to use this process when the simpler and less drama-filled process could be used? I don't understand why there is interest in a criminal code or criminal court at all.
