Term 4 Judiciary-the carver court

[Bertie]

if you desire a certain JR to be discussed in the citizen forum, post so in the judicial thread and the CJ or other justice will post it, if no one requests it then it won't be posted so we don't clutter up the citizens forum

Thanks, Black_Hole, for the reply. I do understand that someone has to specifically request this in order for it to be posted in the Citizen Forum. The only reason we do this is not to clutter up the citizens' forum?

My motivation behind the question was I completely missed RegentMan's request for a JR, and as it happens I think the court decided this wrongly (DaveShack's comments as a citizen were on the right track, IMO). Had I seen this earlier, I would have commented.

This isn't a big deal to me, but I do think it preferable if all official proceedings receive maximum visability. Under the reasoning of not wanting to clutter up the citizens' forum, every official could hold all discussions only in the official thread for each office; this doesn't promote transparency or citizen involvement. Quite the reverse, actually.

well in the past JRs were never really posted in, and at peak judiciary times we can have 5 JRs going on at once, the citizens forum really gets chaotic

In previous DGs we did have separate threads for most if not all judicial proceedings. There were a couple of memorable terms when the bulk of the citizens forum discussions were on judicial matters, completely obscuring the in-game discussions, which led to the current system. It has been bad enough at times (though not lately) that the judiciary would have needed its own subforum.

Sometimes there are citizen comments before the question is even recognized as a JR. Ideally we would need a friendly mod to gather up the comments on an issue and put them in the discussion thread.
