Proposal – Membership Reform

- At least 10 pictures of your nation will now need to be posted in both Junior and Full membership applications. Before and After images will be added to the FM application.
- Only Administrators, when they open voting, will post the checklist. This will be updated if an application is improved.
- When Jr Membership applications are accepted, each admin posts 4 points of improvement that they must achieve before being allowed to go for full membership.
- New checklist points: No in-game UI, 50/50 ratio of CC minimum, realistic history will become essential criteria.
- Full Membership applications will require the full Jr M checklist to be completed.
- A review by every administrator of the applicants CJ section will take place, meaning that every image is scrutinised.
- If more than six Full Members disagree with allowing a FM application to go through, then it will be denied. At least 4 of the administrators (Including Matt) must vote in favour of an application before it goes through.
- Applications can remain opened for a maximum of one month before being denied by a lack of yes votes. Therefore, the Presidents power to accept applications will be removed.

I'm for it!

Okay!

I completely agree with it.

Agreed. Except with the 13 year old law. Look every forum breaks this rule. I dont want to restrict people. If we get in trouble who cares. It wont happen.

If anyone else mentions an opposition to it (not sure it's a big deal personally) then I'll remove it.

I'm in favor

After thinking about the 13 year old rule, anyone can lie about their age in the Internet. I don't think it would change anything.

Yes, the age thing isnt need. We may allow youger than 13.

I agree with the proposal as written.

I think the thirteen and above rule is something that we don't have to strictly enforce - it is more a channel we can use against people, such as those who recently posted applications and acted extremely immaturely.

About age, it is necessary to restrict it. It is actually illegal in most countries, including Australia, for someone my age to interact with a 12 year old on an internet forum. Despite the completely innocent and benign nature of this forum, I, and other members over 18, could still be charged.

It's not the whole site that will get in trouble, it will be individual members and the charge is not one I'm particularly keen to have on my record as, under Australian law, it is under the sex crimes act.

Theres honestly no way by the admins that we can restrict a account by age

Nevermind. I went to our account options section. And the min age to sign-up at the AIN Forum is 13. So that law is already in effect on AIN

So the 13 year old rule is written, but not enforced except needed? Sounds good to me.

As i previous stated our sign-up min age is 13. Just making sure no one misses it

Good. Relieved (13 going on 14!)

I've removed that section now.

Eh what section?

The one about the new age restriction, since Nate said it is already in place.

Age 13 is an appropriate age to join the AIN union.

ehh after reading it again. I dont like this very much.. I voted no

Since this has now been vetoed and got an overall mixed response, what are peoples concerns with the reform?
