I PM'd States about something similar to this. Maybe you should include something about a minimum number of posts between elections to be eligible to vote. 25 might work.

Hmmm, I might support a move up to 50, but 100...?

Also, does this effect people already registered?
50 posts isn't alot. 100 is enough where you can get it quite easily, week or so. Also, the 25 posts between elections could be 100 posts, considering there are about 60 days between elections and a decent post rate is 3 a day it isn't to much to ask. It'll will keep people who haven't been active for as many as four months from voting.

Would Senator Stevennick please answer Harry's concerns, I have the same.
I don't see why it shouldn't be applied to those already registered. it's not like it is difficult to get 82 or less more posts.

Also, any senators without 250 posts, would they get kicked out?

Section Two
In order to vote in the Fantasy Elections, a registered voter must have posted at least 25 times in the Fantasy Elections board between elections.[/i]

Is that 25 posts restricted to just the fantasy elections board, or the whole board in general?

Under my proposed amendment it would be restricted to the fantasy boards, but that's certainly negotiable.

Asking Fritz (or any other SoFA) to impose the above is completely ridiculous, as it would require him to count peoples posts on the Fantasy boards, that is too much work.

As for the questions as to the fate of present voters - as it is worded, this amendment means that all those not above 100 votes on the forum who are registered voters would have their registration invalidated
I'm also against voting requirements limited to the fantasy board. As long as they post on the forum, i consider them active enough. StevenNick needs to change that part.

I agree with the comments of my fellow Senators, 100 posts is excessive.  50 is enough.
How is 100 excessive. 100 posts takes, maybe, two weeks tops to get.
