Guardianship

The Guardianship is the sole legislative and enforcement body in Caveton. The Guardianship was formed following the 2020 controlled collapse and replacement of the Congress. The body is responsible for creating new laws or proposals, moderating the community, and keep activity. The body is reelected each quarter.

Overview
The Guardianship is the sole body responsible for legislation and enforcement in Fraughtia. Article 2.5 of the Rules of the Community state: "The Guards handle the server’s moderation, events and the server’s decision making." The Guardianship is made up of 4 kinds of guards: regular, Elite, Proxy, and Honor. Regular, Elite, and Proxy Guards are reelected each quarter, while Honor Guards are appointed. Regular and Elite Guards moderate Caveton itself, Proxy Guards moderate platforms adjacent to Caveton (such as a Minecraft Realm), and Honor Guards do not moderate (they are strictly voting members).

Regular elections happen every quarter—that is on 22 January, 22 April, 22 July, and 22 October. All Guards (except for Honor Guards) must be reelected and can run an indefinite number of times. During elections, candidates may choose to associate and run as a party. Running as a party allows for additional members to be elected from the party, if you recieve enough of the vote. For example, if you run as Party A and recieve enough percent of the vote, the top candidates from Party A are elected. Aside from associating with a party, all candidates must declare their "second-choice." This is to whom a candidates' leftover votes will be given.
