Ok, so now that we have a base of members, lets see if we can nail down a constitution. From one of my previous threads ( -[link]- ), I started with a rough template of a constitution taken from the larger FT community clan.
Here is what I came up with so far...
CONSTITUTION:
We will use the template from the community clan as a starting point. As with the larger community clan, we can change the constitution as we see fit.
As it currently stands:
wrote ...
OTHER THOUGHTS:
There shall not be any ranking or hierarchy within the clan structure. We will not have clan leaders or any other ranking structure (lieutenants, corporals etc.) that will elevate any member over another. Everyone will have an equal say.
The tag should be “worn†at the end of a player’s handle. This way, we can continue to “wear†our FT tag as well. So, for example, my handle would be [FT] Aborted Fetus [9²5].
I don’t think there should be any requirement to be in the FT clan (though most of us already are). That is, a player wishing to be a member of the FTC clan does not have to already be a member of the FT clan. So, in short, individuals should not have to be a member of the FT clan as a prerequisite to being in the FTC clan.
Members of other clans (F7L5), 1. Democracy Style, every member counts for 1 vote. 2. 1 Stage, the Voting Stage. You put your vote (Yes or No), and if you have some comments to add, you do that all in 1 post. (No need for approvals/disapprovals, ever) 3. Nomination/Termination/Policy changes : 6 days. Every proposal is for 6 days. After 6 days, the mob has spoken and the decision is final. 4. +3 Yes votes over No votes is the passing margin. Lets have a decisive margin of victory. In order to pass, the yes side has to be +3 the no side, or else it failed. 5. Threads/proposals cannot expire due to going over the specified timelimit, however votes that are placed after the designated time will not be counted. 6. Minimum Requirements... At least 100 hours on FT servers and at least 30 forum posts before someone could be considered. All it means is that 100 hours and 30 posts is the bare minimum to be considered a 'regular'. 7. A membership termination may be proposed if it is felt that this member is in some obvious way unfit to be part of the community clan. This includes, but is not limited to disregard for rules, general disrespect towards other members or regulars, and major abuse of any admin powers (whether in game or on the FT site). Allow a termination proposal after 2 month grace period of forum and game inactivity. Must be proposed by an [FT] member and voted on by all. 8. A member can only have 1 proposal going at a time. The primary responsibility is on the thread starter to count the votes, declare a pass/fail, and close the thread after the specified time. 9. A proposal cannot be made requesting changes to any FT server's operation, admin list, mapcycle, etc... That is beyond the scope of the clan, and server operation is up to server owners and operators. Proposals that do not deal with the clan, its members, or its operation will be declared invalid by the membership, and the thread will be closed accordingly. |

Obviously we are going to change the hours to 200 before consideration. Are we going to have forum participation mandatory or no? If so, then how much forum participation before being allowed in? My only other thing off the top of my head was that when I was doing this same exact thing for < n0 Fear > , I added in something to say that a thread left open for a certain amount of days can be closed by any member. I think we should have something similar here as well to alleviate some members who may "forget" about threads. Just a suggestion.

WIth regard to number three, I think that the default number of days for a proposal should be three not six. A member can make the proposal last longer, but if he or she does not specify, then it defaults to three. Thoughts? Edited Mon Apr 09 2007, 01:11PM | ||

200 hours is a good boundary to set, but even then I still do not think it is "Die Hard" enough. I was thinking along the lines of making the number even higher, to around 250. This in turn would make the clan a little smaller, and Die Hard junkies that have been there for that time would show that they mean business. 200 hours is alot don't get me wrong, but the higher the better. I think the defalt should also be six as well. I have watched proposals in the new FT guidelines that seem to die in 3 days anyways, and even though the person passed they have to sit there an extra three days and wait for the proposal to expire. Although the 6 days might be a good thing to members who do not check the forums as often, since this is a sub clan dedicated members that take part in this should be here to vote for new members. 3 days is a yay. I'm sorry for not replying to this sooner, alot has went on in my life this past weekend and I can't even cope with it myself. But I think everything else looks good. |

It looks good and I really can't think of anything to add or subtract... I do agree that, as mentioned, the minimum hour count should be raised to somewhere close the initially stated 300 once we get rolling though. What about adding that anyone who wants to apply should make an introduction to make their intentions known so members won't have to guess whether someone wants to join? Shortening the default time for proposals is alright given the smaller audience and having the ability to increase the length depending on the magnitude of the proposal can be left up to the thread starter. Good Stuff. | ||
