>Tfw no one listened to me

I tried to get shitposting and scandals banned from the /sen/ate but nooo

Commie pinko stalin-marxist-lenin-jew faggots always had to shitpost all over the place and constantly insult us.

Look what happened when leftists are left in complete power of a board when in a monstrous coalition. Destruction. Their corrupt ideology was their own demise. They constantly insulted us and hated on us, calling us censoring naziboos, that we're a "hugbox", and yet immediately turn their backs and create a thug-like bond with the rest of the leftists that silenced anyone who opposed them, and STILL had the audacity to call us a hugbox.

We could've stopped it.

Don't call it a grave, it's the future you chose.

RIP /sen/, you had a good run.

Not really, there is hope

Don't forget that democracy as a form of government was quite rare historically. It only follows that our example should fail a few times.

Now, on that, a few things

Why did our senate fail?

Invariably, it was because one party gained control of the senate. In this case, it was the leftists. However, it could just as easily been anyone else. This destroys the fun as those that are out of power can't do anything so they leave. Then those who have power eventually leave when they realise that there's no-one else there. Eventually, people pickup the pieces and try to start over. This is where we are now

As above, the problem is in 'winning' the senate. How do we prevent this (never mind banning shitposters etc)?

We could have a system where on day one, 100% of seats are available for being voted upon. On the next election day (say, one week from then) only one third of seats are up. This continues for the second and third weeks until each week only has 1/3 of the total seats being voted upon. This means that it is much harder to maintain a majority for any one party/coalition. Eventually, though, this too may fail because the electorate simply isn't volatile enough to produce much change in the way of voting intention.

This could lead on to others things, but for now, I think that starting again with the one third voting rule could change things enough such that we won't get a permanent majority for quite some time.

Anyone else's thoughts?

Nice job. You now know the solution.
It looks like you are suggesting "tri-cameralism" or a three part senate.
Remember me saying that two senate having a cycled election time with one being called "House of representatives"?

And it looks like HotWheels approved the 8chan /sp/ GETball competition, so yeah… Heil HotWheels

Cross-board collaboration and large scale communication is the most critical factor in board activity. We need to be better than this.
Suggestion:
sticky citizen query and suggestion thread
Board-specific "state" elections thread
Spread our name in major boards and collaborate with owners and volunteers

interesting thoughts.

ComradeChairman 03/05/15 (Thu) 03:35:13 f97449 No.12627

>>12600
As the original actual leader of all of the commie stuff that popped up, I can confidently say the only real reason why we got so much power in our coalition in the first place is because the right was completely unable to organize a coalition of their own. Hell, it was one of our main goals from the start, just so there would be more competition.

What the board really died from was inactivity and the somewhat flawed concept /sen/ was. Everyone suddenly realized that everything stagnated after the first few weeks and left.

ComradeChairman 03/05/15 (Thu) 03:39:09 f97449 No.12628

>>12605
Partially agree with this, however, I don't think we really honestly had total power, at least while I was still in charge. At any time the right-leaning parties could of easily organized against us, but it just never happened.

The main issue, I think, was that our coalition was essentially a collection of completely empty parties that we'd just vote for, so our coalition would get more power, even though it was essentially just the Popular Front. Shady as fuck, but it definitely wasn't on purpose, at least on my end. Multiple parties, which appeared active at the time, opted to join us. They'd then slowly go inactive, and we'd be struggling to find someone else to take the lead, and no one actually would. I was going to suggest kicking them out of the coalition, but I become inactive due to boredom myself, and leadership went to Kane. If a moderator actually would of looked at our coalition and realized half of it wasn't actually active, it wouldn't of happened.

ComradeChairman 03/05/15 (Thu) 03:44:23 f97449 No.12629

Triple-post, only because it's late, and I keep fucking forgetting stuff I wanted to mention.

The two things that I think would need to be fixed in someway to keep /sen/ active isn't necessarily a restructuring of how the /sen/ate seats are/how the voting works. Instead, there just needs to be two things: an active moderator team (Which we had at first, but then got replaced by a pretty mediocre team) and some kind of system in place so the /sen/ate actually affects something. Whether it's a tacked on game mechanic, someone appointed to a GM position who rolls/writes how the country reacts/does under our new laws, or whatever.

Not tricameralism, just third of the senate elections, like in the good old Senate of Australia, where senators have 6 year terms, but half the senate is elected every 3 years.

Senator 03/06/15 (Fri) 05:30:30 59af5f No.12635

Anyway, there are still a decent ammount of us here. If Xeno ran an election/got more volunteers to run an election we could get this off the ground again.

>>12636
Basically yeah

>>12629
>>12635
So, it seems that for the new senate, we should do three things

1) Have a 'staggered election' system (not sure if that is the technical term for it) where all 100 (or should it be 99?) seats are up for election initially, then 1/3 of the seats are up for election every week.

HOW THE SEATS ARE DIVIDED

The seats will initially be divided into three, so Section 1, Section 2 etc. Section 1 will have their election first (after the initial election). That cohort will forever be known as Section 1. It will have an election three weeks later. The next week, Section 2 has an election. It will have another election three weeks later. The same goes for Section 3.

2)Moderation needs to be stepped up. Each member of a coalition has to actually exist for their vote to count in a 'bloc vote'. Mods need to ascertain whether a coalition has any empty spaces or not. If they do, then that coalition loses votes proportional to the members that are no longer with them. That will probably be worked out on a case-by -case basis.

3)Our purpose is to do as much as we can for the real world and also to create a series of laws that govern what we believe the world should look like.

These are three steps that we should take in the new senate. I hope that the relevant mod knows what to do from here, as we, the users, can't.

[20:48] <TryingTooHard> Hello
[21:00] <copypaste> hi
[21:00] <TryingTooHard> This is hotwheels right?
[21:01] <TryingTooHard> You should promote /sen/ into something more… fun.
[21:01] <copypaste> /sen/ is autism
[21:01] <copypaste> nah
[21:01] <TryingTooHard> Well… shit
[21:02] <copypaste> i really do not get it
[21:02] <copypaste> it's not a real govenrment or anything
[21:02] <copypaste> it's just playing pretend
[21:02] <copypaste> p ebin but autistic too
[21:02] <TryingTooHard> It got too much shitposting, it used to be good but now… too bad
[21:03] <TryingTooHard> I mean if /sp/ can get some help, we could too
[21:03] <copypaste> what help would you like?
[21:04] <TryingTooHard> A miracle from God where he reach down to /sen/ and say "You are the chosen one" or something like that
[21:04] <TryingTooHard> I hope you won't smite me for that, i pray
[21:05] <copypaste> lol
[21:05] <copypaste> maybe giving it some actual power? :^)
[21:05] <copypaste> it could be fun if it wasn't all just pretend
[21:05] <copypaste> if the representatives elected could actually make decisions that affect 8chan
[21:06] <TryingTooHard> Yes, actual power to give "Power to the people"
[21:06] <copypaste> for example, what features to write, what board to be board of teh week
[21:06] <copypaste> interesting idea
[21:06] <copypaste> what other powers should it have?
[21:06] <TryingTooHard> I would say the power to allow everyone in 8chan to write the "8chan constitution" with your signature
[21:06] <copypaste> obviously it could never decide something like "globally ban swami"
[21:06] <copypaste> that's unconstitutional :^)
[21:07] <TryingTooHard> You are God, you can Veto anything ;^)
[21:07] <copypaste> lel
[21:08] <TryingTooHard> What document sharing site do you use? Maybe we can start writing for something real
[21:09] <copypaste> google drive is ok
[21:09] <copypaste> a senate to decide the direction of the site is a good idea though
[21:09] <TryingTooHard> {insert link here}
[21:12] <copypaste> it's late here but i'll look in the morning
[21:12] <copypaste> looks cool so far though
