Proposal: Purge Routine
Amend the last paragraph of Rule 2: Mariners to read:
Add the following to the bottom of Rule 2: Mariners -
On the passage of this proposal, all non-idle Mariners who have not voted on it are set to idle.
Getting tougher on non-participating players. Firstly, being idle is a privilege. As has been observed in Kevan's proposal, it involves becoming functionally immune to all game effects; while this is a big advantage, it's also virtually unabusable, as it requires the player to sacrafice their right to vote. Thus it exists as a useful tool for those who would like to participate, but can't due to other concerns. If such a system exists, it should at least be restricted to those courteous enough to request it. Also, formalising a method of sorting wheat from chaff.

Some Mariners are idle, and should be marked as such in the sidebar. For the purposes of all rules excluding the rule that this paragraph appears in, idle Mariners are not counted as Mariners. Admin may render a Mariner idle if that Mariner has requested it. Admins may un-idle a Mariner at their request. An idle Mariner retains all of the GNDT values they had at the moment they became idle; however, they are subject to the normalisation of GNDT values that takes place at the beginning of each new dynasty, as described in Rule 10.
Add the following to the bottom of Rule 2: Mariners -
The Poet may, at any time, post a Register proposal to the BlogNomic blog which begins with the paragraph "Register" in bold text. All non-idle Mariners are required to reply to the Register by commenting within 48 hours. After those 48 hours, any non-idle Mariners who have not responded may be deleted as Mariners from the BlogNomic gamestate.
If a Mariner has not voted on an active proposal for a period equal to or greater than 2 weeks, then they may be deleted by any Admin.
