Is it worth stripping someone of position due to bad puns?
  Yes. Yes it is.
  Nah, Rob's a spoilsport
  I mean, they were bad and everything, but not /that/ bad that they need that kind of retaliation...

I was demoted from my position due to puns.

That's right.

Puns.

While I fully admit they were about bread and may have been a little stale... That doesn't make them bad enough to warrant being stripped of my position.

I mean, they were awesome!

Lenin's Peace, Bread, and Land for all statement was mentioned, and it was typed in such a way that is was just peace bread land, and someone else said Breadland, talking about how cool an amusement park it would be.

So naturally, I started advertising for such rides as the Ryercoaster and the Bumpernickel.

Is that really worth being stripped of position over?

I stripped you from your position due to bad puns AND the fact that commissars are superfluous to to the heightened amount of activity.

Breadland would also be a great bakery name... And... 3 days... It's all you have.

Commissars are not superfluous, and you don't have the authority to demote commissars, neither do I.

Commissars serve the purpose of heightening activity within the CC, and in providing a changing composition during stable periods, so that we get a bunch of (decent) opinions and views.

Seriously, ********!.

I wasn't aware that there was a rule set for this commissar s**t. Personally, I do think they are superfluous. There is not point in having them so long as someone on the CC is active. I would also contest making new members commissars for the fact that we do not know their political views to the fullest and that the commissars don't really do much anyway. The guild has done fine without commissars before and it will continue to do so. Almost all of our new members are posting frequently, there is no problem.

There is no rule set. It is quite simply that there is nothing detailing how they can be demoted,

You think they are superfluous when one person is active and...
Nothing can be voted on.
The whole point originally was to provide people to actually have discussion with because you and tank refuse to post in the CC for discussions or votes. While most of our discussion happen over skype, it is nice to have a permanent record in the MCS itself. As others reuse to vote or post, no matter how many ******** times I link s**t, it is necessary to have others who will actually take the 5 seconds to type yes/no and hit 'submit'.
