Why fix something that isn't broken? The regional government and the discord mods don't interfere which eachother, that is the best thing and the only thing that has worked since we've had a discord.

The regional government has its place, to make the DSA a more enjoyable place for people in and out of the discord. Unless there is a problem we shouldn't be messing around with this stuff just to mess around with it.

How does this mix regional government and the discord? Nothing in this bill would suggest that's happening. Letting the community have a yearly vote to either reaffirm or reject the sitting admin has nothing to do with the Council. 

I don't think Veyoris is doing this "just to mess around with it" as there's been a concern for a long while regarding life terms for the moderator staff. This isn't like the Great Reforms of 2020 where we'd have mock legislation as parody, but a community member who sees this as an issue regarding community leadership.
