A monarchy might be a terrible thing when you have a poor king, but it's
probably the most efficient system when you have a king capable of handling
the power he weilds (and the ultimate tools that the administrator of a
server can use to make his word actual, real-life Law).

Benevolent dictator, eh? :-)

I'm thinkin' long-term here on this...  Not something necessarily to set up
within the next 3-6 months -- but more of something to figure out on the
back burner over the next 6-24 months, depending on the growth curve.

And what is the growth curve? You got a graph or something? (Wouldn't surprise
me if you did ;-)

Again, I think some sort of community judicial system (and whatever that
means is *wide* open to discussion) will go a long way toward helping this
community stay strong and survive the coming growth curve of the next five
years.

Lugnet.admin.city-council for planning maybe?

Judicial system? Wow, I suddenly feel myself leaning toward libertarianism.

Perhaps all that might be needed is some sort of .town-square or .town-
meeting group, who knows.  Or perhaps something more formal.  We'll just
have to see.  All I know for sure is that there -has- to be some place where
someone who stands accused of something can defend themselves (and be
defended by others, if others feel similarly).

Lugnet.courtroom, and it's lowerarchy: .prosecution, .defense, .jury (which
would be password protected), and .judge.

When starting to consider all this, I suddenly feel very tired...

When trading messages in a text-only format, the words themselves seem to take on a much stronger meaning than if they were spoken, ie. giving tone and voice alterations to convey meaning. For this reason your words need to be carefully thought out (...) (25 years ago, 6-Aug-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
