5. How to carry out an amendment to the PDL rules:
For an admin to amend a bill he/she must first get it passed the Admins club with at least a 2/3 majority. All Admins must vote.
After this the amendment goes to the general public. If the amendment passes the Admins a forum will be made by an admin selected by the president (just to avoid confusion such as who is making the forum. We don't want 3 forums on the same amendment)
Public voting will commence immediately after a club news announcement has been made about it by the president. Voting will last from a week to a month depending on how fast all who want to vote get it done.
To extend the public voting time a club member must make a separate forum and voting will commence. For the sake of time this voting process will be limited to a week. Voting time can be extended for up to 2 months.
Admins may not vote in public amendment forums
If there is a tie in the public vote then the vice president can act as a tie breaker.
All amendment forum comments not related to the topic at hand will be deleted. Discussions about the amendment are permitted.
this does act as an exception to rule 3
6. Certain forms of swearing are outlawed
Words such as the "F word", "S word", "N" word (just because we're not trying to be jerks), etc. are not permitted
punishments will likely be a short term mute from 1-5 days depending on what the admins vote on.
DONT WORRY this does NOT include words such as "piss" and "damn"!
7. Be respectful in debate
This one isn't so severe. Just be respectful of others
Note: Please don't report things that are simple bombings of viewpoints. This rule is not to make offending somebody in some small way illegal. Just keep it clean if you know what I mean
8. (Most important) Have fun debating!
