No, but I do think somebody who is active on the forums is much more likely to have a vested interest in protecting the forum government against a coup. I don't think it's unreasonable to want members to be active here. Their powers have a lot of relevance to the forum community.

It's not really a case of forum activity being the litmus test for supporting democracy. We've had CSS members from both the forums and the RMB who ended in disappointment on that front. What I'm trying to do is ensure the people on the CRS have a good understanding what they're protecting and looking after.

But ... part of the problem here is that we also have "democracy" and government in two places. If we're keeping the LC, I think we should also let them be part of the CRS.

I'm not saying everyone, but someone who is holding a government position like that, I think we should make an exception for.
