Article I

Section 1. There shall be a Council elected in accordance with this section which shall have the power to review, and subject to the provisions of this section, overturn a decision to ban another member.

The Council shall be composed of five members, who shall be styled Councillors. The members of the Council shall be elected by the members of the Forum, in accordance with a majoritarian system by means of preferential voting.

A member of the Council shall hold her or his office for a term of six months from the date on which he or she assumes office. No one and the same person shall hold office for a consecutive term. A person who has held such office for at least one month, either in her or his own right, or as a replacement to which some other person was elected, shall not be re-eligible for a consecutive term.

A member of the Council may, by writing under her or his hand, resign as a member. A declaration of resignation shall be made publicly on the forum, and once confirmed, another election shall be held to fill the place of the vacancy.

Section. 2. A member of the Council may, during her or his continuance in office, be subject to a recall election. At the demand of any ten members, a charge may be made against a Councillor. (Details to be included later....)

Seriously Sprintcyclist - you call yourself a Christian yet you push for so many people to be banned. What if you had been banned permanently in those early years when you often lost the plot? Some members felt compassion for you and continually asked FD to reconsider your reinstatement.

Lisa - you have been banned permanently in the past - and so have a few others. I for one, have pushed to have you and quite a few members reinstated over the years, but when I see the hatred some of you have for certain people who you disagree with I wonder why I bothered.

A message to all those who have broken one rule after another and escaped a permanent exile - live and let live. Once you get rid of all the people who annoy you - this forum will become as boring as PA. FD relies on a variety of personalities to keep Ozpolitic alive.

Those who continually call for bans could have had the same fate if others hadn't intervened on their behalf when they were misbehaving.

I'm intervening now. Remove all permanent bans and for those who continually whinge to the moderator/s - give it a rest and learn a little tolerance for others who are different.

You don't have to apologise to me Herbert - I know Aussie as well as anyone online, but regardless of how many people he annoys - Aussie is one of the main contributors here. His stirring helps to keep Ozpolitic alive. All the members have something to offer and this adds up to a busy forum. Once it becomes too exclusive it will stop attracting new members.

What a load of bovine faecal matter!

Who mentioned anything about Aussie being annoying???

It's the flaming/trolling of members & GMods/revealing bits n pieces of private PMs that Aussie CHOOSES to indulge in that gets him rightfully banned from OzPol.

Yes. I [delete] all my PM's weekly so as not to be tempted to use them against others via a bitter dumby-spit, etc.
