Clearer code of conduct is needed when it comes to placing/displacing nations. The thread has been awfully slow to recognize/shuffle around threads that are no longer around, which in turn makes it harder than it has to be to place new ones.
If that process was more codified and streamlined, this situation would not have happened. For the /mans/ and /mhm/ reps, I will say that I will urge my thread to vote with your preferred positions, since both of your thread placements were handled quite poorly.
This actually highlights another problem I'd like to bring forward, which is the relative inaccessibility when trying to start as a new rep/writer. The intro project is a great step in that direction and I will write an excerpt to it soon, since I've mostly finished recovering from the coof.
If there was some kind of a primer regarding general conduct and how voting works, we could point to that. And before you say "but there are bylaws", they are quite poor at what I detailed here, and the best proof that people haven't read/remembered them is reflected by section 8 of it, which was largely ignored before for placement of /ehe~/ for example. Whether it's a good section or not (it isn't, the land acquisition should be defined much better) is irrelevant to this issue (lack of accessibility/broad rules of conduct).
We've kind of winged it from the very start, but with newhags coming in, it should be codified somehow.
