"Neither am I, Ninja."

"Another motion that should go over better.  Should we induct the Troll Watch service as an 'official' service?

Oppose

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Poketwo, Andres,  have a particular reason you would like to speak as to why in order to convince others, or would you like to keep your reasons of opposition personal?

[poketwo]

"I BELIVE THAT WE SHOULD CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION FIRST INTO THE POSSIBLE WILLINGNESS TO BE TYRANICAL, WILLINGNESS TO SPREAD PERSONAL BELIFS USING THINGS LIKE 'THESE OPINIONS ARE PROBLEMATIC', CO-OPTING THE PROGRAM TO SERVE AS A SECRET POLICE OF SORTS, MISDIRECTIONAL, TO SPREAD HALF-TRUTHS AND LIE TO ENEMIES, AND TO BE GENERALY AGAINST FREE SPEECH BEFORE WE TRY TO SOLVE TROLLING. OR ELSE THE LOLCOWS WOULD RULE FOR A PERIODE  OF TIME"

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

As of current, they work against those that would post images from shock sites.  I believe that most other cases would fall into the realm of Toady One or the Court system.  As such, what you detaiiled is a much lesser concern than you make it out to be.

"OH!? THEN I AM FINE OF IT, JUST NOTIFY THE CONGRESS IF YOU WISH TO TRY TO EXERT RIGHTS OF THE 'TROLL WATCH' OK?"

[4maskwolf]

"My good sir, the troll watch is perfectly capable of operating outside of the official capacity, and as such is not subject to our oversight.  It is merely our responsibility to sanction its overall activity."

[poketwo]

"IF SO, WE SHOULD HAVE OVERSIGHT, WITH A FEW MEMBERS OF THE CONGRESS BRAVE ENOUGH TO LOOK AT SHOCK PICS VIEW THE PICS THE TROLL WATCH DEEMS 'SHOCKING' "

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

"As it is a standing organization that enjoyed a fair deal of success, the only real thing we can do is sanction it, unless they formally request to be admitted as an official organization."

[The Froggy Ninja]

((Are we being serious in this one?))

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

(Once there have been a total o five (using five as a for now thing) votes in favor or against making the Troll Watch 'sanctioned', another five for or against the three day trial bill, and five for either space program, we can go with a 'one serious, one non/less serious' approach, with people indicating which bill they are discussing.  Should provide a nice, balanced approach in terms of seriousness.)

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

(If I could edit, would have put this in the prior post.)

(In addition, after 7 days in 'session', there is a 'golf day' where people make 'speeches' to the 'people' they represent, golf or go to bars with other congressmen, etc..)

"Gentlemen, I present for your consideration the Caps Lock Act of 2015. This bill, should it pass, shall ensure a measure of decorum and civility in the illustrious Bay12 Congress. I trust that good sense shall guide your votes and this Act will pass with no major objections."

Spoiler: The Caps Lock Act of 2015 (click to show/hide)

In order to preserve the integrity and dignity of the Congress of Bay12, and to ensure civil and respectful discourse, failure to meet certain post criteria shall be dealt with by the authority of said Congress. Should a congressperson resort to caps lock or ad hominem attacks, invoke Godwin's Law, display inexcusably poor grammar, or otherwise disparage the Congress with his or her actions or words, they may summarily be disregarded and their votes be rendered invalid until such a time that they make amends or correct their mistakes. Upon meeting the aforementioned criteria, they may be accepted back into this legislative entity and shall be born no ill will, nor be otherwise discriminated against.

"What is the trollwatch anyways? What are we even voting for?"

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

(Araph: I would prefer that we clear out existing bills before we introducee  new ones.

Kevak: Look three above yours, and search through the prior pages for mention of the  issues there.)

[~Neri]

What prior pages?

I'm aware there's something about a troll watch three posts above mine.

My question is What is that exactly?
