I think that, while he shouldn't be demoted, his votes should no longer count until he returns. Then, his absence won't delay the proper closing of voting threads.

Definately voting nullification but i dont think demoting is the neccasary course of action.

I agreee with the preivously stated. Voting Nullification and Probation are to be put in to affect. And, if it has not been attended to already, a warning should be sent out to Tarth that if he does not return soon, something more dire will occur (within the CIRCLE, not to sound murderous here ).

Of course, it could just be that he is far from a computer for the time being. But it's been a month... Sorry, just arguing with myself.

My vote goes out to Balloms course of action, as it makes the most sense, and doesn't give to much of a fuss over a first offense. However, in the even Tarth does return, he should be given a three-strike basis, as we all should if this happens again.

To be fair to him, only null his votes, as Ballom has suggested.

Why don't we hear of why he's gone, then decide? Usually I'm the kind of guy that fires at he person, but since it's the first time in the C.I.R.C.L.E., well, let's cut him [some slack.

The only problem with that is, if we don't hear from him, we're stuck waiting on him with no idea why.

In that case, give him a week or two.

As outlined in Article 1a, Tarth has at least one week from the time of "PM Notification" to join this discussion.

Therefore, in this case if he has failed to participate in this thread by Monday, June 1st, 2009 at Noon Pacific Standard Time, then the consequence deemed most appropriate by the "TURAGA COUNCIL" will be brought before the entire group for a vote.

I would have to agree with Ballom's suggestion. Any of a myriad of things could have happened to prevent him from getting to BZPower, and it may not be his fault. It would be a shame for him to be demoted if it was an unpreventable accident rather than simply laziness on his part.

In my defense, my computer is screwed up and my mom's boyfriend won't fix it so if you're probating me idk there is nothing i can do. Whatever

The problem with your story is that you never bothered to tell anyone about the alleged technical difficulties until now when there are likely consequenses Tarth.

Furthermore, you failed to mention anything was wrong, meanwhile you have still managed to browse the various aspects of BZPower on a fairly regular basis, looking at the new Glatorian Legends images for instance, as well as the various threads in this blog, without bothering to vote on anything, and not just today, but on numerous occasions (at least four that I've witnessed firsthand) since April 4th.

Keep in mind that this is not something that anyone is doing to you. It's something that you've done yourself with your extremely poor communication, highlighted by your having answered not one single PM from the dozens I have sent you over the past eight weeks.

Anyway, if you don't want to be part of "The C.I.R.C.L.E." anymore, nobody's forcing you to do so. But if you do wish to continue being involved then the rest of us deserve a better explanation and a statement of your desire one way or the other.

Is it possible for you to use a Library computer or maybe a friend's?

Im glad you have actualy told us Tarth, however i agree with Ausar. You should of told us ASAP rather than when there are likely consequences.

I also have seen you view this blog and various topics on bzpower.
