I am going to propose a few amendments to the Staff Guidelines. Recent events have indicated that the existence of these amendments would provide transparency and reassurance to users who aren't entirely clear on how moderators make their decisions.
Amendment I:
Section 1: Moderators will not be allowed indefinite time to prosecute an offense. The statute of limitations for an offense must be proportionate to its severity.
Section 2: Moderators shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Amendment II:
Section 1: Moderator action cannot be issued more than once for the same offense.
Section 2: If a moderator decides no action is necessary to prosecute an offense, no further action can be taken.
Section 3: Moderators shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Amendment III:
Section 1: Moderators cannot prosecute a user for violating a rule that did not exist when a violation occurred.
Section 2: There are to be no ex post facto rules.
Section 3: Moderators shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
