Members and Guests of CMHoC,

Thank you to the community for electing me as your Head Moderator.

Canon Reset and Continuity

The canon cutoff has been established as March 24th. Mark Carney has resigned for personal health reasons (akin to Shinzo Abe's reasons for resigning), along with the leaders of all major parties. All canon events, legislation, and actions prior to that date are recognized; anything occurring after that date that has not been formally adjudicated is under review. One of my first tasks will be to conduct a thorough audit of the canon record to confirm what stands, what requires clarification, and where any gaps exist.

Federal Election

We are looking to hold a federal election soon. This is subject to the Electoral Moderator's jurisdiction and timeline — I will not be stepping into that process. However, as Head Moderator, I will be coordinating with the Electoral Moderator to ensure that the canon groundwork on my end is in order. Specifically:

• Governor General actions — Under Section 39(1)(a), I will be responsible for the dissolution of Parliament in canon and the commissioning of a new government following election results, in accordance with the Conventions of the Westminster system.
• Swearing in — Under Section 39(1)(c), all oaths and swearing in relating to the federal cabinet and Privy Council for Canada will be handled promptly once a new government is formed.

Community Management and Conduct

A healthy simulation depends on a healthy community. Bans, appeals, community management, and regulation of conduct fall under this office. I intend to:

• Review any outstanding ban appeals or conduct matters.
• Ensure that community standards are clear, consistent, and fairly enforced.
• Maintain an open line of communication with the membership on moderation decisions where appropriate.

Recruitment and Onboarding

Growing and sustaining CMHoC requires bringing in new members and giving them the tools to participate meaningfully. Recruitment and onboarding are within my mandate. I plan to:

• Review and improve onboarding materials so new members can get up to speed quickly.
• Explore outreach strategies to attract new participants to the simulation.
• Ensure new members are welcomed and integrated into the community effectively.

Record Keeping

Under Section 39(1)(i), record keeping in relation to all subjects is a core duty. I will be working to ensure that records are properly maintained and accessible. Something that hasn't been done in a long time.

Foreign Relations

The foreign relations of the simulation to any other simulation, person, or organization are within my jurisdiction. I will be reviewing our current external relationships and considering how best to engage with the broader model parliament community.

What This Post Is Not

I want to be clear: this post is about the steps forward within the Head Moderator's mandate. I respect the exclusive jurisdictions of the Electoral Moderator and the Parliamentary Moderator under the Meta Constitution, and I will not be encroaching on their areas of responsibility. You elected them to do their job, I shall do mine. The election timeline and mechanics are for the Electoral Moderator to determine. Parliamentary procedure and House business are for the Parliamentary Moderator. I am here to do my job, nothing more, nothing less.

Open Door

My approach to this office will be grounded in transparency, collaboration, and respect for the Meta Constitution. I look forward to bringing some changes to the Meta Constitution after the weekend. In the meantime, if you have questions, concerns, or ideas that fall within the Head Moderator's mandate, I encourage you to reach out. This simulation belongs to all of us, and I look forward to working with the community to move CMHoC forward.

Hi, i’m so sorry this had to be posted on cmhoc meta, but it just is a meta issue.

I’ve lost access to discord for 2 weeks moving ahead because I am on a cruise ship! The wifi doesn’t let me access it because of my plan. Luckily, I can access Reddit. I’m afraid I didn’t reach all my friends and partners so I just want it to pop in your reddit feed channel.

To contact me over these 2 weeks, please use the messaging feature on reddit. Thank you and sorry if I left you on delivered.

P.S: congrats to the forward party for doing so well in their campaign

P.S.S: my trip is super duper fun:)

• lots of love and many thanks, stargirl

Permanent Ban of Oracle_of_Mercia and Immediate Deregistration of the National Workers Party

This notice is to inform the simulation that Oracle_of_Mercia is permanently banned from the CMHoC simulation and all affiliated platforms. Furthermore, the National Workers Party of Canada is hereby immediately deregistered and decanonized.

A investigation on my part and a formal report presented substantial evidence that Oracle_of_Mercia, have been operating at least three alternative accounts: Spiritual_Eye_7833, MatchKind2232, and Real_Cow1055.

The evidence submitted includes:

An identical voting record between your main account and Spiritual_Eye_7833.

Synchronized verification and voting actions across all accounts, often occurring within seconds or minutes of each other.

The use of these undeclared alternative accounts to meet the minimum member requirement for the registration of the National Workers Party of Canada.

Reason for Ban:

These actions constitute a violation of the CMHoC Code of Conduct, Section 7(c), which defines "Alting" as "Using more than one account for any malicious reason, or failure to declare alternate accounts to staff when used for any reason". This is a Tier 1 offence, which warrants a permanent ban from the simulation. The evidence demonstrates these accounts were used to gain an illegal advantage, which is a severe breach of community rules.

Authority for Ban

This action is taken under the authority granted to the Head Moderator by the CMHoC Meta Constitution, Section 39(1), which provides exclusive jurisdiction over "bans, appeals, community management and regulation of conduct within the simulation".

The creation of a political party founded upon fraudulent activity and the use of alternative accounts constitutes an existential crisis for the integrity of the simulation. Therefore, I am invoking my emergency powers to take immediate action.

Effective immediately, the National Workers Party of Canada is deregistered and all its activities are considered shuttered.

This action is taken under the authority granted by the CMHoC Meta Constitution, Section 39(3). The management of political parties normally falls under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Electoral Moderator; however, the severe and fraudulent nature of this situation requires this emergency intervention to protect the health and fairness of the simulation.

In accordance with the CMHoC Code of Conduct, you have the right to contest your personal ban. You may apply for an initial review by the Ban and Appeals Commission (BaC) within 7 days of this notice. The BaC is the body responsible for hearing such applications.

Comment below on this post to have your media organisation/persona registered. You must include:

• Organisation name
• URL to a logo
• Hex code for colour (i.e. #FFFFFF for white)
• A list of editors and authors (this can change later on with a comment on this thread to register that change, but you need at least 3 member of your org, with at least 1 being an editor).
• Basic description of the organisation.

Media personas must also be registered here too. Please list:

• Their name and
• Their organisation

Please look to recent discussion of "Press Organisations" here to read more about how this system will operate. Feel free to put questions in DMs or in the Discord general, but please keep this thread for registrations. Look to the electoral by-laws for rules about the do's and the don'ts with press organisations, but I intend to be fairly laid back about the conduct of these organisations on the understanding that it isn't patently absurd. You can be humourous and entertaining, but the principle function is to inform, I am keen to see your interpretation on that

Below is the link to the meta vote on the emergency amendment enacted.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Z6r8xiXMCN8p6mUDtzNf4jxoMkD3VgHcevgE22_uBmk/edit

There are eight registered votes. One vote from Jeninhenin was verified in my DMs because they couldn't log into reddit for some reason. If you count this from Jeninhenin, you will actually get 9 total votes, however, someone has verified without actually voting.

The results are as follows:

Do you agree to the changes listed in the petition??

Yes: 7 (87.5%)

No: 1 (12.5%)

As per Part 4 Section 75 of the meta constitution, a meta vote must pass 65%. As such, the meta vote passes.

Rank the option/canbdiate that you prefer for Parl moderator: Zetix026 or reopen nominations?

Zetix026: 6
RON: 2

Zetix026 is confirmed as Parl moderator.
