If "No" is majority, the current wording will remain
Amending proposed change to Rule 0, changing the wording to the following:
1) Rule 0 will be redefined and rewritten as the following;
Status: Enforced
Keywords: Douche, Golden Rule, Hate Speech, Toxicity

Item 2)
If "Yes" is majority, the following addendum will be set in place for Rule 0.
If "No" is majority, the addendum will not be added.
Adding the proposed Addendum, which will only be required when administering some punishments related to Rule 0. Official wording is as follows:
When punishing players for breaking Rule 0,
-Locking chat channels, temporary mutes, and permanent mutes can be administered at staff discretion.
-Any banning, whether temporary or permanent, must be discussed and agreed upon by two other staff members, resulting in a total of three staff members approving of the punishment.
(Note to Senate members, I have grouped these two together under one vote, but when facing the Parliament they will be divided into two votes, Item 1 and Item 2. This was done to give Parliament the final say on whether or not they want the addendum to be added, as there was intense arguments on both sides and I feel like the players have a right to decide for themselves).
