Proposal: Pragmatic rights and privileges
(AI = 3, II = 3, please)
Amend Rule 101 (Agoran Rights and Privileges) to read:
Each person has the right to do the following things; these
rights CANNOT be removed or restricted beyond reasonable effort
by any interpretation of Agoran law or contract:
1) Perform unregulated actions.
2) Refuse to become party to a contract. The absence of
explicit, willful consent constitutes refusal.
3) Not be considered bound by an agreement, or an amendment to
an agreement, that e has not had a reasonable opportunity
to review.
4) Initiate a formal process to resolve a matter of
controversy, with the reasonable expectation that the
controversy will thereby be resolved.
5) Cause formal reconsideration of any judicial determination
that e should be punished.
6) Not be penalized once for any single action or inaction.
7) Cease being a player.
Each person has the privilege to do the following things; these
privileges exist in the absence of explicit Agoran law or
contract to the contrary:
a) Perform whatever actions e wishes.
b) Participate in the fora. For players, this is a right.
c) Become and remain a player.
This rule takes precedence over all other rules.
Please treat Agora right good forever.
[Rights /can/ be restricted within reasonable effort, e.g. "don't lie"
or "wait a week", but not "include a page from the 1947 Vladivostok
phone book" or "wait 106 years". If you voluntarily sign away some
of your rights, then evidently you considered those limits reasonable.]
Amend Rule 478 (Fora) by removing the first paragraph.
[Covered by privilege b).]
Amend Rule 2145 (Partnerships) by appending this text:
The right of a partnership to initiate judicial proceedings
is protected by the ability of its members to initiate such
proceedings, even if the partnership is prevented from
initiating them directly.
