C'mon delegates... do your job!
Here we are sitting on our hands waiting for something to come up to quorum so we can actually do something... and not a single proposal has enough support yet.....
Most of the proposals are too awful to get the vote of my delegate. It's up to youto make a proposal decent enough to gain his approval.
How about mandatory anarchism? Or pro-women-with-really-wide-hips-and-huge-butts eugenics?

I concur. It is not the fault of the delegates that the proposals are of low quality.

It is however the fault of the delegates to assume they are all of low quality without looking at each. I have received NUMEROUS comments that my own proposal is VERY good (though I thought it was simply common sense), yet still I require well over 100 more approvals and tomorrow is its finals day.
It is highly likely that many of the comments you received were made by individuals without delegate status.
Personally, I attempt to review proposals whenever I have a chance, and I must say, many are not worthy of my support.
Might I inquire as to which proposal you have offered?
Let's face it. The proposals just aren't what they used to be.

Hardly any of the proposals currently listed are worth defecating on. Many don't even propose anything, and many more are jokes. Others are wrongly classified. One of the few near quorum is a blatant game mechanics proposal. If the mods were doing their jobs, there would only be two or three pages of proposals, and they might stand a better chance of getting read. Still, none of them are actually worthy of approval.
And why should anyone bother taking the time to write a decent proposal for an imbecile circus like the NS-UN? Any good resolution wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of passing anyway.

Oh come on! That's just the kind of attitude that keeps the proposals dying on the table.

All the proposals have been done and good ones like the Hippo one get defeated and it was just a joke and people voted against it, though when i was a delegate i started off doing that but stopped as it is really boring looking through stupid proposals, Enodia have you got anything to say on this? Your're the one whp purges these proposals

That's why I proposed an award for most childish proposal (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=103445&sid=586b7ac0d7b948ff1dc75b4dcb1877ec). I think the topic is dead, because I recieved millions of nonsensical replies, but at least some of the arguments still hold.

Having an award for "most childish proposal" in NS-UN would be something like having an award for "ugliest lamprey" or "most arrogant cop".

Perhaps those complaining about the "low quality" of proposals should put their money where their mouth is and make some they feel are worthy of support.

Thank you. I agree. And quite frankly, most of the proposals are often badly worded, not to mention vague. This often leaves loopholes. Not to mention that, but many of them have absolutely NO effect on an actual NationState. Sure, barbaric torture can be banned, and meds can have forced distribution, but with these type of proposals there is no significant effect. Better to let bad proposals die then ever make it to the popular vote.

I cannot agree. Have you looked at the Hippo proposal? It was a joke. The person who created it probably did it for the laughs. Not to mention that, but the proposal would still have absolutely no effect on any actual NationStates, unless someone was posting in International Incidents that they were blatently killing hippos.
While I have many ideas for improvement of this world, I do not at the moment have the time. But rest assured, in time, we will have legitimate proposals at the table.
