Additional Information
- See main articles: Curia, Citizenship and Curial Awards
The Constitution provides guidelines and definition for the various aspects that it controls which includes:
- Defining the Curia, and the idea of Citizenship
- Structure of the Curia, its forums and subforums and their functions
- Curial procedures, including how to handle proposals of all sorts and disciplinary process for citizens
- Defining the Magistrates and their relationship with the Tribunal (though that is primarily operated by the Tribunes themselves after election is complete)
- The Curial Awards, where citizens can award members for various forms of good posting and contribution to the site.
It is the source document that pages on this wiki, aside from historical sections are based on and expand from.
The Constitution is modified by a vote of Citizens, with the results being implemented by the Consul.
History of the Constitution
- See also: History of the Syntagma
The original name of this document was the Syntagma, changed in 2007 to the Constitution. In this time an index of changes to the Constitution was started:
The Constitution and by extension the Curia once held power over the operation of the site, including ratification votes for new members of staff, an elected Hex position and oversight over various components of the forum. Over time these powers and responsibilities slipped from Curial control and became full dominions of Staff, as amendements over time steadily simplified and reduced the role and operations of the Curia. It has come to strictly affect immediate Curial affairs and little else.
The actual use of Constitution was tried back in 2005 during an early reform, see this proposal.
