Discord Server Reorganization Act
Preamble: The Official Discord Server of TeenGovernement is vastly unregulated. This leads to frequent cases of power abuse, and in general individuals holding powers they aren't entitled to, nor responsible with. Even if they don't act on them, their very existence threatens the server’s integrity, and is in profound opposition to our democratic principles. This act seeks to dramatically reduce the extreme power the moderators hold.
Key Definitions:
Discord Moderator — Elected official in charge of managing and regulating the discord server.
Discord Server Owner — Elected official in charge of holding the Discord server ownership
Officer — Elected team of officials in charge of applying the Discord Moderator's power when they aren't available.
