In this case, I believe that these changes should go through the emergency amendment process.

This specific part of the constitution said that it should be changed, but didn't specify how. I don't think that this allows for it to be changed/amended outside of the normal process. Though this case is mostly harmless, it could create a precedent of disregard for the constitution.

I don't feel it needs to be an emergency amendment, due to that "up for review clause". As such, I don't feel it actually needs to be an amendment at all. In both letter and intent, that sentence indicates that this particular part was to be reviewed and clarified. While this announcement does conflict with what is written there, the inclusion of that section as it is was an editing error.

I would argue that

  1. the moderation team and the authors (who are mostly the same people) can review and decide on this section without needing an amendment, as that clause grants that right,

  2. Amending the constitution for a clear editing oversight (an unfinished, outdated section accidentally being included before it was finished) could be argued as a simple fix. While this is debateable because it changes the letter of what is written, I would argue it as "awkward wording".

  3. It can be done as an emergency amendment if either of these is challenged and fails.

This does not set a precedent because it is limited to a single specific situations: a clause stating that the constitution was unfinished. This is resolving that clause, not changing intent.

I'm still really uncomfortable with abolishment of term limits being called a "simple fix". What's wrong with giving the people a say?

however the constitution itself notes that this area was not completed.

No qualms there. It's constitutional to change it.

Our ruling is:

No term limits for moderators.

Okay, so is this rule technically an "Emergency Amendment" though? Will you have to do a confirmation vote?

Technically the head mod still needs to finalize it. This is a special case. The Constitution specifies that this section it to be reviewed and come back to. As both moderators and authors, we have reviewed and come back to the section, which we are allowed and potentially mandated to do by the very section this applies to.
