Excerpts from the Rules and Regulations regarding the elections process:
5. The Councillors are the members of the Council; they are elected every month from the valid members of the forum, using polls. The general rule which must be observed when voting is the seriousness of the candidates.
a. The number of the Council members (Councillors) is 7.
b. After the election time ends, Councillors become the candidates which came in the first 7 places, according to the voting percentage. If a candidate on the last place for entering the Council has the same voting percentage as the following candidate, another round of elections takes place, with only these two candidates.
c. The election round lasts either for 72 hours (3 days), or until all the forum members (who have the right to vote) vote (100% attendance), whichever comes first.
d. After the elections end, and there are no more problems, the administrator must validate them, and then must make the winning candidates Staff Members, so that they can see the Council Room. In the same time, the administrator must change the previous Councillors' status to normal members, thus ending their term and starting the new Councillors' term.
e. Any forum member who has submitted at least one post, who is not warned or banned has the right to elect and be elected. This rule falls under the incidence of rule 18g.
Contraventions
18. The following facts are contraventions:
a. spamming of any kind;
b. insults of any kind;
c. hostile behaviour;
d. continued inappropriate posting;
e. not participating, as a Councillor, in the Council's discussions and debates, and failing to vote in polls;
f. doing anything, except posting, without the agreement of the Council (as a Councillor);
g. voting without the right to do so;
h. a Councillor being found guilty, following the complaint made by any member of the forum;
i. not fighting spamming, insults or hostile behaviour;
j. any other fact established to be a contravention, by the Council.
