| − | The Curia is a forum within the [[Total War Center]] which exists for the purpose of aiding the [[Hexagon Council]] in the running of the forums. The Curia has a long history on the forums and has existed since late 2003.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Curia has a large say in the running of the forums and is responsible for maintaining the [[TWC_Official:Constitution|Constitution of the TWCenter]]. The Constitution dictates the procedure for election of the [[:TWC:Ranks|Curial Ranks]], which are essential to the running of the Curia and indeed site facets.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Curia is moderated on a day-to-day basis by the [[Curator]] and, if required, his appointed deputies the Assistant Curator's.

| − | == Overview ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | For the purposes of fulfilling its objectives, the Curia forum is split into four additional sub-forums for ease of use.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Quaestiones Perpetuae ===
| |
| − | This is the forum where Citizenship applications are posted and then processed by the Citizenry.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Curia Vote ===
| |
| − | Once a bill has gained the support it needs in the Prothalamos, it may be moved to vote by the [[Curator]]. All bills shall pass their vote if they achieve a 60% majority of non-abstaining voters.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === The Tabularium ===
| |
| − | The archives of the Curia. All votes whether they pass or fail are stored in this forum for reference.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Consilium de Civitate ===
| |
| − | :''main article: [[Consilium de Civitate]]''
| |
| − | | |
| − | A forum visible only to elected [[Citizen]]s and [[:category:Administrator|Senior Staff]] as per the "Consilium de Civitate" section of the Constitution. Within this forum votes shall be taken regarding the granting and removal of certain Curial ranks ([[:Category:Artifex|Artifex]] and [[:category:Civitate|Civitate]] as examples)
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Pater Familias ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | A forum visible to all Citizens, but only a user's own thread is visible unless they are the Curator or on the CdeC. This forum is meant for patronization: when a Citizen wishes to patronize a member, they post the member's paragraph in this forum.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Controversy ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Throughout its existence the Curia has been a controversial subject. Even in its foundation there were those that opposed it, namely [[The Black Prince]]. Many have claimed the Curia is not an effective administrative body, that mob rule simply does not work on a forum, or that the Curia does not have the ability to undertake its goals. Under various Admin's the Curia has struggled to define its place on the site, to what authority it should truly command. Under [[Ogre's Network]] the Curia's existence came up in various arguments, but the most pressing event was just before the sale of the site to [[Imb39]], where the Curia was almost deleted. In recent times the debate over the Curia continues, many have called for reforms, the main proponent of this is [[Professor420]]. Whether the Curia is in fact an effective body, or whether reforms will take place is a matter of debate.
