Hello all, recently when we posted a poll for a UN vote, even though there were only approx 15 active voters here, we had a turnout of almost 25 votes for the poll, due to this I and the moderators decided to impliment our suffrage program and end open voting in the EP, After getting into the reigon and establishing yourself one of the things you will need to do is PM either myself of The Wachovia Coalition, and we will enable the vote for you.
you will need to tell us who your resident nation is

If I recall you need to have 50 posts probably less, Im not too big on keeping track of that at the time, so itisnt really important till it becoms necessary.


basically we hope to (soon as the senate ratifies it, ) have a registration such as this,

* Min 50 (perhaps 25 posts) posts to assert an active on the fourm attitude.
* A nation in the EP, preferably your UN one so you can help with the defense of the region.


Citizenship in the region includes a place on the map gaurtanteed agains invasion so long as you are active,
Suffrage of course,
a Seat in the Senate, unless you take a regional office that would preclude this or you decide to decline a seat.

Hope my jumbled thoughts didnt scar ya off much, lol,
Loop :chubbs:

To be fair, I think all current citezens should be registered as well, as to get rid of old, dead, citazens. The map REALLY needs to be cleaned off.

when I set up the [Citizens] group, I think I got the active posters registered as voters, if you cannot vote in a poll let me know and I will adjust it.

You might ask why this is being put in place. The reason is simple. Invision polls are great at capturing votes of board members privately, but they're terrible at excluding people from outside the region from voting. As many other prominent regions have found, it is necessary to address this in one of a few ways.

One way is to remove private voting. We didn't want to do that as we felt active nations should have the opportunity to vote their conscience not what they felt would play best.

Another way is to require voting to an account called "Voting booth" and then tallying the votes by on or two trusted people. This maintains privacy but puts a great deal of trust in a few people and is very time consuming.

Registering voters is the logical altnerative the maintains some level of privacy and ensures that people at least have a nation in the region. Why the post numbers? We recognize that anyone can create a puppet nation and still sway our voting. In fact some groups have actively tried to do this across the world scene. Nations that post 25 or so times (a small number really in the normal scheme of things) is something most people are not willing to do with a puppet.

Well, at this point, only those have ratified the charter should be able to vote.

Why not use phpBB for this forum? Another forum that I use utilizes phpBB (won't name that forum for security reasons) and it's been great!!!! With phpBB, only registered members of the forum are allowed to vote in polls. How cool is that!!!

The software used is irrelevant. Both phpBB and Invision allow you to configure what permissions are necessary to do certain actions, such as voting. It's not an inherent quality of phpBB that you have to be registered to vote.

In any case, it wouldn't solve the problem, since being registered is something open to everybody.
