Pre-great ruleset shrink: "instead of executing Sentencing Orders, the Judge
may
(Without Objection) Order the Ninny to publish a Formal Apology."
Post-shrink, pre judicial-reform, only (3) and (4) below could be done without
some kind of dependent action. Leniency (including community service) required
support and limited objections. Banishment (like ostracism) required a full
Agoran Consent. This period was marked for having no actual Rules violators
IIRC (remember, Agora was Dead(tm) at the time):
Upon a finding in a Civil CFJ that the defendant has broken one
or more Rules, the Trial Judge must execute exactly one of the
following types of sentencing orders as punitive damages:
(1) Without Objection and with 1 Support, an order the defendant
to make a formal apology;
(2) Without 2 Objections and with 2 Supporters, an order for the
defendant to perform a specified service for the benefit of
the Agoran community proportinate to the seriousness of the
breach;
(3) An order for the Herald to place the defendant in the Chokey
for a number of months equal to the power of the highest
powered Rule that was broken;
(4) If and only if the trial judge finds the defendant to to
have acted willfully in breaking the rules, an order for the
Herald to place the defendant in the Chokey for twice number
of months equal to the power of the highest-powered Rule
that was broken;
(5) If and only if the judge finds the defendant to have acted
egregiously, maliciously, or with a consistent pattern of
abuse, with Agoran Consent, an order for the Registrar to
deregister the defendant in disgrace (make em lawless). An
order to be made lawless is automatically appealed upon its
initial execution.
These punishments are considered ranked with "worse" punishments
being later in the list.
If an attempted sentencing order does not receive the proper
support or receives too many objections, the trial judge must
execute another type of sentencing order.
No other punitive damages may be assessed for Rules violations.
