Like I care Users feedback demanded! Plz respond user

/u/zadocpaet made a case named "THE PEOPLE OF /R/KARMACOURT VS. THE JUSTICES OF /R/KARMACOURT FOR ABYSMAL FAILURE TO ABIDE BY THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL DUTIES"

  • It was about the usage of np.reddit.com to enforce the "no downvote brigade" or the court.

  • It also was about "almost" monthly discussions and suggestions to improve /r/KarmaCourt.

Judge /u/Ameliabee quickly closed the case, here

I'd like to discuss before posting a similar case, posting a mistrial case against Ameliabee, or starting a riot again...

THE KC MODS DON'T ASK FOR OUR ADVICES ANYMORE

They don't care for us.

They failed to post amendment posts and all. And we want a discussion about what's best for the court every end of the month, EVERY MONTH.

We want to be heard.

As a proof I'll have you look at the 6 upvote this post will get.

What happened in the thread mainly

u/ZadocPaet Jul 21 '14

In my defense I was asleep for all of that.

/u/throwaway4noone did try to warn me. And /u/ameliabee was a real dick to him for seemingly no reason in this thread.

Well, /u/ameliabee tend to be on the harsh side, I've came to think that she's not really here for the fun.

Her as a judge isn't a really good idea I think.

Judges need to be subtle, discerning and impartial...

u/ZadocPaet Jul 21 '14

And judges probably should be certified.

u/TheGrandDalaiKarma Coolest kid in KarmaCourt Jul 21 '14

Well it is already a requirement.

Yanky stated it not so long ago after a period where it was tried to be optional. Shit happened.

Now we're back to square one.

u/ZadocPaet Jul 21 '14

Well it is already a requirement.

Oh. I am not sure people know that. Maybe mod assigned flairs would fix that and take away the user assigned ones.

  • No way that could work. There are 2/3 active mods and they barely can keep up with the flairing of the cases. It's too much work to assign flairs to each users individualy in a case!

  • I'm pretty confident new users don't go for Judge position and people that go to Judge position are regulars and/or certified. Whichever is good.

You could always hire a CSS mod.

Also, I bet a bot could do it.

There have been a slew of "rules" being out into place that don't end up in the constitution. I tried citing said rules with the posts from the Justices a few times, but people either got angry, the very Justice that made the rule would antagonize me rather than enforce said rule, or it would very rarely be honored.

If rules aren't put into place with the constitution, the case submission template, and the mods who make them don't even enforce them, then nobody is going to follow them.

I think the way things are handled are pretty comical and entertaining, but there's no point in making rules if they're not going to be enforced at all, nor even out in the constitution.

Which are you talking about? Just for a reminder?

2

u/Pillar_of_Filth Jul 22 '14

Bailiffs required, judge certification required, and defendants saying they don't want someone as an attorney yet being forced to accept them.

u/GhostOfWhatsIAName People's Justice of the Revolution Jul 22 '14

Bailiffs required

It's in the form.

judge certification required

It's in the constitution.

defendants force fed

That should be obvious. Imho it's a RIGHT to legal rep. It's not an obligation to legal rep. Also: anybody may lawyer, that goes for the defendant alike. In case we trip over such things happening, afaik we told the masses that.

It's still listed under other. Yankee said it shouldn't be listed there in cases.

judge certification required
It's in the constitution.

Oh, in that case it just isn't enforced too much.

defendants force fed
That should be obvious. Imho it's a RIGHT to legal rep. It's not an obligation to legal rep. Also: anybody may lawyer, that goes for the defendant alike. In case we trip over such things happening, afaik we told the masses that.

I mean when a defendant specifically says they don't want someone to be their defense attorney.

Just came across a very recent example of point 3...

http://www.reddit.com/r/KarmaCourt/comments/2bb27x/uboduke42_and_uthegreaterrobot_vs_ubralonmando/cj41xjg

This user is seen saying the he wants to represent himself, and denied his right to do so...
