Hello, I'm bower8899. Most of you probably remember me from the old VC. I'm here to give you a little tour of our new website.
Right now, you only have access to the chat forums. This weekend is going to be our registration period. Once they are registered, we need to give elected officials specific permissions to different forums.
Another thing: all of VC has been reset. We now know all of our bills and elections were rigged, so we decided starting over would be the best idea. All laws in real life are VC law now, and we'll add and repeal from there. Also, me, skinner, ranger, cajuntrooper, and source are in charge of the website right now. We'll be electing people to run the New VC ASAP.
The first item on agenda when we official open VC will be elections, and ratifying a new constitution. Don't worry, we aren't taking any of your rights away, we're just changing the parts that deal with how the government runs, since we have to do things differently on here than in the real world.
Onto to Forums
Speaker announcements: official VC news will be posted here.
New Legislation: you can propose new legislation here. Voting will be done with a poll that is shown above the forum; this may seem confusing but I promise you it's quite simple. You open up the voting post, and the poll is the first thing you see. Open votes will be at the top of this forum always, so you can easily find them.
Supreme Court Cases: Just what it says on the tin. Will work similarly to the legislation forum.
Presidential Cabinet Meetings: Only cabinet members will be able to talk here.
Data and information: Here we will keep records, such as passed legislation and the constitution.
Parties: All political parties have been reset as well. You can form a party any time, but for it to be officially listed three people have to sign off on your thread to join. Once you have an official party, your party will get it's own private forum (still subject to moderation, mind you). How you run your party is up to you.
News Orgs: We just have VCBN right now, but we will let people create new news organizations.
And the chats are self explanatory. Feel free to discuss anything, but refer to the political chat for real life politic.
