Where is the "vote no" option, or rather, why hasn't anyone bothered to included one.

Originally by: James Lyrus Given that you cannot apply to be on the CSM if you have had a ban in the past, that seems not unreasonable.
So you would support an immediate ban of Jade from the CSM then?

Any idea how many unfair bannings there have been? CCP shoots first and asks questions later, I myself have been banned on an assumption alone and coincidentally CCP didn't get back to me until the ban time had already expired. Dumb thread.

Voting No on this one.
Forum bans are a joke since they are completely arbitrary. Even for in-game actions, EVE is well known for banning first and asking questions later. CCP then take weeks to do the investigation which some other MMOs do before banning someone.
CSM membership shouldn't be voted on by the other CSMs in any circumstance. If someone does something so horrible they should be removed from the council, I have confidence CCP will act to do so.

And thus the Jade Constantine legacy is further stamped with its signature trait of using the chair to try to push unpopular pet projects and eliminate members of the council that do not agree.

Anyone who read the OP did. I'm guessing they believe the two are in cahoots as they are buddies. Much like if Bane brought forward something I would be painted under its brush stroke.

This is a ridiculous proposal, going completely against the democratic principles of the CSM.
As elected officials, CSM members should only lose their mandates if they are caught violating the EULA or the CSM agreement, end of story. A "recall" is the only other acceptable possibility, even then, such a provision must be made written and should not be retroactive.
This kind of ad hoc justification for power grabs smacks of authoritarianism, and was certainly not for this kind of fruitless discussion that we put the council in its place.
Shame on whoever agrees with this, if you're willing to give up the power of your vote, you don't deserve the right to a vote in the first place.

What if the character has another account and his main account gets banned? As long as they have an account associated with them, bravo. Honestly I think part of the responsibility lies of people who vote for candidates. Choose wisely for people who aren't prone to be dramakings.
This concept runs counter to what the CSM was partially formed for to be a quasi-watchdog group to questionable CCP actions. If people are afraid to speak out for fear of bans and then losing their CSM position, we're overall better off having CCP just invest the CSM money to hire new staff.

I would agree or disagree with removing someone depending on the reason for the ban. From what I've read this only gives the CSM the option to remove a member, it isn't automatic. This means that both the forum moderation team and a group of the players peers must agree that the behaviour was inappropriate before anything would happen. ------------------ x-DSMA (Menta) x-CA (OMEGA/BOS) x-.5.(ATUK) BOB (DICE) |

No, it means one over-zealous forum moderator and a few CSM members with an axe to grind can kick a legitimately elected CSM member for potentially no reason at all.
I think we all can agree that posting something completely heinous like 2girls1cup should be banned and possibly banned from CSM for being such a douche, but you are forgeting that people get banned from the forums for small infractions and that will be exploited to UNJUSTLY kick someone out of the CSM.
I could go on and on with the holes in this topic. I mean you guys used IRC or some chat program, right? Wasn't LaVista Vista (I forget who) kicked from said chat? Shouldn't he be kicked from the CSM? What if my computer just doesn't like IE/Firefox anymore and I can't log onto the forums for 2 weeks, should I get banned from CSM?
The number of ways CSM members, forum users and CCP itself can abuse the system noted in the OP should not be taken lightly.
Also I'd like to hi5 my GS brosefs. --

Trudat honkus--I was referring to using this becoming a tool for recalling CSM candidates. If you don't take a little time to research the post history of someone and get overcome by voter's remorse, well tough. Six months is a limited time to suffer the distractions and petty power struggles this could bring.
Your CSM may be a brat or may not always behave or advocate as you would, but hey, you're just getting you indirectly pay/vote for. :)

Posting on the eve-online forums is completely unnecessary to the function of CSM.

It's only not required by CSM members if they choose to not interact and discuss/evolve issues and ideas in the Jita park or Assembly hall forums.I suggest that this interaction is one of the important functions that CSM members should undertake.
The forums are where issues for the CSM meeting agenda must be posted to get requisite number of votes or CSM member support. I find it hard to follow your reasoning that posting in the forums is not needed by a CSM member....

Originally by: Serenity Steele Edited by: Serenity Steele on 06/10/2008 18:13:36 I'm sure I'll need a flame resistant suit for this, however it's a pretty simply Issue;
If CSMs are banned from the forums or banned from EVE, they should be removed from the CSM immediately., gives the CSM members the right to vote on whether the banned CSM member is kicked from the CSM. One vote may be taken per forum banning. This should be the case for both Temporary and Permanent bans.
The issue I can see with this is that it provides CCP with a mechanism for removing CSM members, so it would need to be documented that the person in question has received warnings first, and notified to the whole CSM that this is occuring.
On the other hand - do you really want someone who gets banned representing you?
Note: The situation of what happens when a CSM member gets removed is already dealt with: An Alternate is raised up in their place, in order of max votes received
Vote!

Terrible idea. This is nothing more than a backhanded attempt to make the CSM team fit the ideology of a couple of representatives who are looking to water down the aspects of the game that they aren't personally involved in.

Incorrect. There are a lot of forums on the internet whereby you can interact with people who play eve. Many people detest these forums and the moderation of them and will avoid them. These people are voting eve players. One could make the argument that by focusing so much on these forums you're actually neglecting a large portion of the playerbase. Anyone can post a thread on the assembly hall. It does not need to be a CSM representative. I can say quite definitely from a position of experience that few others, if any, have that it has not been REQUIRED for me, in the least, to be able to post on the Eve-online.com forums. Ever.
:edit: Actually it is required that you not be banned to submit your passport for candidacy. That may or may not be intentional. If you're someone like me you can simply ignore the forums until it comes time to submit your passport, as eventually someone's report clicking will stick.

Actually, issues and ideas posted on other forums, AFAIK, aren't binding on the CSM and can't be put onto an agenda unless first posted in the Assembly Hall for 7 days, and then getting a CSM support (posted) or 5% of voter's approval.
However, if you feel that interaction with posters on issues and ideas in the Assembly hall (or Jita park) is not needed as a Player representative on the CSM, fair enough.
We just have obviously diametrically-opposed viewpoints on what CSM members should be doing...

"Representing Eve Players" and "Posting on the Eve-online.com forums" are mutually exclusive. Nevermind the slew of other issues that's already been mentioned repeatedly by myself and others in this very thread.

I agree that other forums are valuable for CSM members to garner player opinions and the like. However, I must have read your post above before editing...I took it to mean that you didn't think it was needed for a CSM member to interact and post on issues in the Assembly hall at all (despite this being the place that issues must be posted to gather support).
If this isn't what you meant, accept my apologies.
I can see clearly that you are now posting on the forums on eve-o...

Haha touche'! The thing being that I'm posting here out of choice. Not out of necessity. I go very long periods of time without even reading these forums.

You should post here more often! Many of your ideas are interesting and show effort and prior thought. In the very least they get discussion going and other player's views and input.
I look forward to working with you on the CSM! (hopefully not from the position of alternate again)

What would you suggest as an alternative? I am very much in favour of a CSM member being removed if they step outside the rules, in a derogatory or detrimental fashion to individuals and/or the community. And to echo Gramtar's sentiment, i believe CCP wouldnt allow someone to be evicted from the council unjustly.

As an alternative to what? Posting on the Eve forums? Posting on another forum? ANY other forum? Email? Evemail (When Fixed). Talking in game? There are a slew of alternatives to using the Eve-online.com forums when it comes to communicating with people who play Eve.
re: CCP allowing it... That would need to be addressed internally by CCP. This isn't a thread recommending that CCP be able to intervene and save a CSM member. It's not a thread saying that CCP should be able to remove CSM members. It's a thread requesting that via some magical against-CCP-policies mechanism the CSM discover when a member has been temp banned so that they can then decide to vote them out of the council, based on circumstances for which the representative will have not real ability to defend themselves. It's a thread requesting that the CCP moderation team, which has deemed itself beyond the purview of the CSM in ANY way, be in the position of deciding not just who can post on their awfully moderated forums, but also who can serve as a representative. That's just plain silly.

A some what theatrical representation some of which i would actually agree with, unfortunately it's the parts you seem to be deliberately ignoring that would swing my support for the the issue.
Within reason, i wouldnt be in favour or removal of a player representative based on constructive interaction with CCP, i would be in favour of the option of removing a representative who cant interact with other members of the community on E-O within the guidelines given by CCP.
This suggestion so far is the best to this ends, so i'll ask again, do you have a better alternative?

The players elect the CSM representatives, and the players should be the only ones with the power to remove a CSM representative. CCP should have no power to remove CSM reps, because that would completely compromise the entity's independence and ability to provide input without fear of CCP shutting off lines of communication by banning a CSM rep.

What is he ignoring?
Why is a forum banned representative a problem?
These questions have still not been answered.
