I agree w/ Averroes on the income tax.

I think the 6-month deregistration thing is too long/too far.

[sentinel]

Aye.

I also have serious reservations about #11. I don't believe we should make it harder for people to come back. I think that is a big mistake.

For whatever reason, the only time I see people de-register is after a heated argument when everyone is upset. I think if we are to have it in place, it needs to have harsh consequences merely so people won't use it to prove a point.

Maybe that's just me though. I don't care either way honestly. If I leave the game, I doubt I will de-register. I'll just disappear into the sunset.

Sometimes people de-register because they just need a break and I really don't think they should be punished with year-long banishment for that.

They don't need to de-register... Most of the time, it's usually out of some kind of tantrum. If you definitely don't want to come back, de-register. But if you intend to return, maintain a base level of activity ie voting (the ONLY thing you need to do). It really isn't that hard.

If you're going to punish people for de-registering, then you can't punish them for missing elections IMO.
