Petition

A petition is a democratically-based system to remove Heads of Staff, Deputy Heads of Staff or Site Administration. The petition has been used sparsely since its inception in Version 5, with most ending in failure before reaching the public vote stage. One petition, against Chief of Security JoshJOkayguy, was successful in removing him.

The petition is restricted in its use. Only Junior Specialist and above in Security, Researcher and above in Research, and any member of the Internal Affairs or Mobile Task Force may sign it. This prevents manipulation of lower ranking personnel.

History of its use
On November 17, 2021, a petition against Site Director Jacob Sievers was made. The petition gained 13 signatures, but failed. On January 4, 2022, after newly chosen Apophis became IA Commissioner, a petition was triggered within a minute. However, Upper Administration intervened and cancelled the petition. On February 18, a petition was triggered against MTF Commander Monte. This petition was the most successful as of March 21, 2022, garnering 26 votes before being declared dead.

First successful petition; JoshJOkayguy
On March 18, an internal petition was started against Security Chief JoshJOkayguy. A group of individuals garnered petitions from security members. The petition was successful and on March 23, a division wide vote was triggered. The vote was successful and on March 24, Okayguy was removed, with Deputy Chief Data replacing.

Requirements
Early in its establishment, it was required that 35 foundation personnel sign a petition (with documented proof) to trigger a site-wide vote. In a revision by Buzz Aldrin in March 2022, it changed the requirements for a petition.

Current requirements

 * Internal Affairs: 35 signatures/2 NCOs or 1 CO
 * Security: 35 signatures/4 NCOs or 1 NCO and 1 CO
 * Research: 35 signatures/2 NCOs or 1 CO
 * Mobile Task Force: 60% of members
