	The '''Consul''' is the elected manager of the [[Curia]] for a 6 month term with no limit on re-election. This figure is responsible for its day to day operation including the management of Curial voting, the maintenance of Curial information, and interacting with the [[Staff]] or [[Hexagon Council]] when their powers are needed.

	~~At minimum the~~ Consul ~~manages threads and ensure~~ the ~~functions~~ of the [[~~Constitution~~]] ~~are running, as well as updating it (and dedicated records) when votes are completed. However, possible actions can go past this so long as they are within the broad limits of~~ the ~~Constitution and the general site rules. Duties may be passed off to two~~ [[~~Censors~~]]~~, who operate with equal powers and are appointed by the Consul~~. ~~Their actions are taken~~ as the ~~Consul's word~~, and ~~likewise~~ the ~~Consul may replace them if~~ needed.		The '''Consul''' is the manager of the [[Curia]] assigned by the [[Hexagon Council]]. This figure aids in administrative matters such as votes, maintaining information in the Curia, and prodding the administration when their involvement is needed. The Consul acts as a local moderator, but cannot give infractions through this capacity. They may be assisted by other appointed local moderators with the same or more specific jurisdiction, and are considered the lead of any such local moderators that exist. The [[Moderation Staff]] may involve itself in emergencies (ie posting porn) or situations such as spambot posting, though the Consul may still act as first responder to delete the offending content.

	~~Additionally a~~ Consul acts as local moderator ~~alongside the Censors. The general Terms of Service apply~~, but the ~~Consul's discretion is usually respected. Emergencies~~ and ~~serious matters~~ are ~~handed off to~~ [[Moderation Staff]] ~~including infractions. In particular the [[TWC Official:Terms of Service\|TOS]] clause on Personal References is much lighter~~, ~~thus it is frowned upon for~~ the Consul to ~~be 'too strict'.~~

	~~An irresponsible, abusive or negligent Consul may be struck down with a Vote of No Confidence, where a majority of~~ the Curia can depose them and force a new election. A censor or if necessary an Administrator then handles the process. Otherwise their term expires naturally at the end of four months, at which point they either retain office upon re-election or are replaced with someone new. See the [https://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?468982-Curial-Information-and-Reports Curial Information and Reports thread] for all elected officers and their expiration.

	~~Previously~~ the Consul ~~was known as~~ the ~~Curator. This was [https://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?791677 changed], but~~ the ~~name~~ '~~Curator' is still used on occasion. There was also~~ a ~~site administrator called Consul in the first decade of site history~~.		It is possible for the Consul to resign, or be replaced if the Curia expresses severe displeasure with the current Consul's handling of affairs, or be replaced if they go inactive for a prolonged period.

	The first Curator/Consul to take office was [[Kazak borispavlovgrozny]], a member of the [[Original Triumvirate]]. The position remained extremely powerful for some time, with the then-named Consul ~~becoming~~ an elected ~~administrator position~~ in 2005. The Consul generally appointed a Pro-Consul to oversee most of the standard tasks of the Consul. Eventually ~~this position~~ became defunct ~~with the administrator~~ position moved ~~into~~ the [[~~Hexagon Council~~]] ~~out of the hands of the Curia, and the~~ Curator position ~~became~~ a strict manager of Curia affairs. The responsibilities and powers of the Curator (eventually ~~and ironically~~ renamed Consul) changed little ever since.		The first Curator/Consul to take office was [[Kazak borispavlovgrozny]], a member of the [[Original Triumvirate]]. The position remained extremely powerful for some time, with the then-named Consul gaining an elected seat in 2005 held by [[Justinian]]. The Consul generally appointed a Pro-Consul to oversee most of the standard tasks of the Consul. Eventually the Consul became defunct as an elected administrative position was moved to the much less influential [[Speaker of the House]] role. The Curator position was a strict manager of Curia affairs. The responsibilities and powers of the Curator ([https://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?791677 eventually renamed] Consul) changed little ever since.

	The longest serving Curator (before the name change) was [[General Brewster]], who served 15 months spanning 4 terms and received [https://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?789277-Award-General-Brewster-for-CURIAL-SERVICE-AWARD&p=15666695#post15666695 the Curial Service award] for his trouble. Some of his close successors would be long term as well, with [[Hader]] and [[King Athelstan]] serving three term periods. Hader's election came just after the proposition and passage of [[Curial Overhaul 66\|major reforms]] he penned and successfully passed.

			In April 2024, the position of Consul was overhauled along with the rest of the Curia to be a simple appointed position to oversee simplified Curial affairs.
