The prohibitions are worded in such a way that repeals or amendments to RA0 may only be performed by an elected referee in a non-sneaky way (no misleading Agorans by using another regulation to take precedence over RA0). Although I suppose that there are circumstances in which an emergency will make its amendment or repeal highly desirable, and the will of Agora should not be denied, even if the officeholder at the time of said emergency may be an interim Referee. I suppose I could delete the outright prohibitions along with the 'notwithstanding...' clause and just maintain the anti-sneaky part. -- JTAC Interim Referee

Power 1 statutes could withdraw votes, which allowed escalation to power 3 by withdrawing votes on an AI-3 proposal. To get around quorum the Assessor (*waves*) delayed publishing a humiliating public reminder on an unrelated batch of proposals until after the extended voting period ended (it was *meant* to be before it ended, which would have been legal, but I messed up a script). There were a small enough number of votes on that to bring quorum to 3. Then, G. submitted, and nix (PM) distributed, an AI-3 proposal to raise the dictatorship's rule's power to 3. That got lots of AGAINST votes, but G. withdrew them all at the end of the voting period, leaving 3 FOR votes and 1 PRESENT vote, meeting quorum and adopting the proposal. -- Jason Cobb Assessor, Rulekeepor, Stonemason

DIS: [Interim Referee] DRAFT Administrative Regulations
Please provide comment. - Regulation RA0 Limitations to Powers of Interim Referees An interim holder of the office of Referee (henceforth known as an ‘Interim Referee’) SHALL NOT impose summary judgement more than twice a week. It is PROHIBITED for an Interim Referee levy a fine to a person who commits the Class 2 Crime of Tardiness, if the person's deadline to perform eir duty occurs during a Holiday, as defined by rule 1769. A Referee MAY NOT amend or repeal this regulation. A Referee MUST NOT enact or amend any other regulations in such a manner as to cause any of them to take precedence over this regulation. The above paragraph notwithstanding, a non-interim Referee MAY amend or repeal this regulation as provided by rule 2630. This regulation takes precedence over all other administrative regulations promulgated by any Referee. --- Regulation RA1 General Enforcement Policies If a Referee wishes to impose the Cold Hand of Justice on any perp for the Class 2 Crime of Tardiness, e is strongly RECOMMENDED to specify the violation as forgivable, unless the perp has consecutively committed the violation or the evidence indicates that the perp has used or has attempted to use the violation as part of a plan to abuse eir official position. Referees are ENCOURAGED to amend this regulation to specify best practices for other crimes and violations. --- Regulation RA2 Guidelines to Referees for Compiling Weekly Reports Courtesy of the illustrious Publius Scribonius Scholasticus, when making eir weekly report on blot holdings, a Referee is ENCOURAGED to additionally include: 1. A section tracking investigations resulting from a finger being pointed of which the Referee is the investigator, which have not been concluded at the time of the report’s publishing; e SHOULD provide the following fields for each entry: a. Name of the perp b. Name of the person who pointed eir finger d. Summary of the available findings at the time of the report The Referee is strongly DISCOURAGED from reporting on investigations of which e is not the investigator. At the time of the promulgation of this regulation, the only rule-defined circumstance in which the Referee is not the investigator is when the Referee is the perp. As such, eir reports on such investigations may be misleading and are at a high likelihood of violating rule 2471. 2. A section tracking historical changes to the blots possessed by persons. If available, the time period tracked is RECOMMENDED to begin from approximately two years prior and end at the time of the report’s publishing. E SHOULD provide the following columns for this section: a. Name of person in whose possession the number of blots has changed b. Change in number of blots c. Date of change d. Reason of change --- Regulation RA3 Holiday Rule Reminder Practice In addition to the recommendations contained within rule 1769, the Referee is strongly ENCOURAGED to remind the players of the end of the Holiday by announcement. This SHOULD be done between 2 to 4 days before the end of the Holiday. - -- JTAC Interim Referee
