So far, we haven't encountered anyone who has gotten to the qualification stage who has blatantly copied what another person has done in order to become denizen.Patatitta wrote:

Also, I'm going to remind you again that this has been the system for nearly two years now. Any changes have already occurred long ago.
While that is correct, my point still stands that any adjustments that the government should have made have already been made, and by now there isn't a single person who isn't a denizen who has ever known another system besides Penguin's.Polyspora wrote:

But in the life time of when the OT!Gov was form and when denizenship was introduced, it’s basically half the timelinePolyspora wrote:

hasn't really changed because this system was not implemented yet, different systems has different weaknessesghoulybits wrote:

if this has been the system, or close to for the last 2 years, and this change just only adds a human verification in the way, why do you actually think this system is going to work better?
people have been critizing the previous system too, this really just doesn't improve much at all
i dont think people are going to stop trying to just flood to get denizen either, most people who beg arent ellegible in the first place, people are also going to keep quitting after obtaining denizen, burnout is still a thing

The current system of deciding denizenship has not changed since Penguin. While things have been added upon it, like denizens submitting their own contributions and denizenship being able to be removed, how we decide denizenship hasn't changed. No system that will change how denizenship is fundamentally decided has been implemented.
Are we having two different conversations here? I'm starting to think we are.
I think you might have? I'm not sure what you mean by "human verification" being added. This current system has been implemented for a while, so I'm also not really sure what you're talking about there.Patatitta wrote:

I was working off this line, did I missunderstand it?, from what I understood you said that contribution was already a factor since 2 years ago
It's less of a requirement and more of a convenience for the OT!Government in cases where it was hard to find contributions made by various denizens.Patatitta wrote:
by human verification I meant the adding the asking in dm for a list of contributions
what I understood from your posts is that contribution was already taken as a factor, and that this change only adds the requirement for that list
could this system be changed for the list to only be a requirement for edge cases, while keeping the previous system?, I still disagree a bit in the philosophy in genreal but i'm way more ok with thatghoulybits wrote:

What new system? There is no "new" system. It's the same as it was before you even got here.[ Sebastian ] wrote:
Welp, looks like we'll have to deal with this new denizenship system.
pretty much. it's hardly more than a glorified hall of fame on the basis of recognition for subforum contribution, though i did want one thing for clarification-- does denizenship have intra-forum political relevance? if for example it was needed to apply for ot!parliament/ot!government/ot!president, then it would have much more significance than it's worthYyottaCat wrote:
Let me point it clear here:
Denizenship doesn’t get you money.
Denizenship doesn’t mean anything in real life.
Denizenship can’t get you any more privileges.
Denizenship can’t make you become somehow above other people.
Denizenship doesn’t change anything about you.
Denizenship means literally nothing outside of a random subforum in a forum half-dead in a game most people don’t care about.
In short, denizenship is quite literally worthless.

hmmn. then it might become a problem if people express discontent or outrage as a result, because that then could qualify as a privilege and distinct class of power (edit: not functional power like the gmt, though)ghoulybits wrote:

the introduction of revocable denizenship was interpreted as a scary precedent toward unfair misuse of power and extrajudicial removal of people from the list of denizens.
people turned it into an unreasonably hyperbolic avalanche of complaints and severe misunderstandings about what qualifies denizenship and what qualifies it being revoked.
ghouly tried to clarify, people began to antagonize her and unfortunately failed to sit and listen for a moment.
after establishing that revoking denizenship is done in significantly fringe cases, and that nobody else is in danger of it at the moment, we seemed to have accepted it and quieted down.
