Quote:I was never a fan of the Times Act and I think that the Times Act has outworn its welcome. It is pretty much useless with the forum updates and has recently caused many headaches.

They give a deadline of whatever days I can just read the timestamp of the post (which is in my timezone) and add whatever days to it.

Yes. It provided the fomentation framework of 'whatever it is that is going on with GC'; the aforementioned condition clueing on its' incompatibility with the current forum structure; and the (most likely) future Discourse forum structure renders it unnecessary.

This doesn't need to be repealed. It's best practice and alleviates issues of being a community with members spanning different hemispheres. The reason it exists was to codify practice that we couldn't guarantee every official followed. The act didn't cause any recent legal issues, the way the Chair decided to honor a post time stamp vs a deadline provided in the body of the voting instructions are what caused issues. That legal dispute would've existed regardless.
Even with the move to Discourse, specific codes have to be used to show dates and times in different timezones.

Out of curiosity, why is it being said that the Times Act has caused problems?

The current controversy has shown that it has caused ambiguity in defined deadlines.

But what does the Times Act have to do with it?

Some people are claiming that the Times Act's deadlines override the deadlines in other laws.

But...the Times Act does even set deadlines, it just says how deadlines must be formatted.
