Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on Yesterday at 11:36:27 AMJust over a week since conclusion of the referendum and I am sure there are arrangements necessary behind the scenes. Do we know when King John plans to abdicate and officialize Txec's ascension?

I've received no information from His Majesty as to his plans.

Just noting grimly that this has not surprised me at all.

This isn't helpful. Can you give the file names of the files you want deleted?

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on October 22, 2024, 01:53:07 PMGenerally speaking, I think that people only have ever used Ian I when they were not actually aware of the conventions that are typical. I think we should probably stick with the traditional use, where you would just be King Txec.

I don't know about that. Certainly that's traditional in larger countries; but KR1 always called himself that before there was a KR2 (Allà rest his soul).

Please to be CRLing this @þerxh Sant-Enogat @Ian Plätschisch @Glüc da Dhi S.H.

Awww man, I hope you don't think I was liking "marital dissolution", look after yourself

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 20, 2024, 08:16:49 PMWe have a new troika of FreeDems acting under color of the Civil Service to suppress compliments apparently.

It will be fascinating to see whether the presumptive new King and the presumptive new SoS will go ahead with their intention to renounce their partisan affiliations. Why should they bother if they're still going to be "FreeDems" as far as creepy-crust here is concerned?

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 20, 2024, 04:16:55 PMyou appointed two party co-members as deputies with one proposing sanction on the proponent of efforts to address your mistake

Great that we've ended up in a US politics position, where being the head of an opposition party means you feel entitled to immunity

I take exception to the idea that my Government would interfere in any way with the Chancery's internal decision-making processes.

Thankfully, the threshold for moderation of Wittenberg is far lower than actual criminal behaviour, as provided for in El Lexhatx J.2. It's just that in the past I think moderators have erred on the side of "letting jerk behaviour go unpunished in fear of retribution/lawsuits". Good for the new Chancery leadership to be setting a precedent.

You don't ask me that question, you ask the SoS that question, because I take the independence of the Chancery seriously

Making inappropriate comments about a co-worker's appearance is a form of harassment, regardless of whether the harasser meant their remarks as a compliment.

Luckily, it doesn't seem that these comments rise to the level required for prosecution under El Lexhatx A.7.1.2. Let's make sure they stay that way.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 20, 2024, 03:32:25 PMhow was it clear that I was not going to stop?

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 20, 2024, 03:26:06 PMI am providing notice now that I will not desist.

Hmmm. The old complaint was "this person is disqualified because they're leading a political party". Then it became: "this person is a member of a political party". Then: "this person is closely associated with a political party". We can see now that the famous stand on principle was in reality a stand against a certain individual, then a certain group of individuals. As suspected.

As Seneschal I have no rightful authority or influence over the Chancery's internal business. Nevertheless, my opinion is that the Chancery should appoint Witt admins/mods, from any party or none, who are prepared to enforce Wittiquette Rule 8 with a blowtorch, regardless of cajoling or threats. Bad behaviour deserves sanction. I get the feeling that new Deputy SoS Plätschisch fits that bill.

Quote from: me, elsewhereTo be scrupulously fair to him, there is a problem here which predates him, and that's it's impossible to moderate Witt. Because - since we're all political figures - nobody wants to moderate someone and then be threatened with legal action. Especially since Brenéir's entire political shtick has been trashing the reputation of the outgoing SoS, and he's now trying to do that to the presumed next SoS, i.e. the two people with the authority to do so. If someone has successfully "worked the refs" to the point that no-one can even try to impose any sanctions, what to do?

If someone's going to be dragged to court for locking a thread, Allà only knows what might happen if someone actually caught the formal warning and/or the temporary ban they're clearly cruising for

Quote from: Sir Txec dal Nordselvă, UrB on October 19, 2024, 09:11:22 PMDoes the writing have to be original? For example, could I translate a portion of one of my books?

If it's a portion of one of *your* books, then it's perfectly original
