DYOS Consul
From Dyos Wiki
The DYOS Consul (also referred to as the DYOS Council and more commonly the Consulate) was created after the implosion of DYOS 9 in an attempt to retain plot cohesion and curb flaming and powergaming in future threads. Originally, its chief proponent was kulade, but real-life commitments left its implementation to Thorvald of Lym alongside DYOS 10. Its official mission statement is "To oversee the DRAW Your Own Story thread, to make recommendations pertaining to the thread, and to uphold the quality of DYOS overall."
The DYOS Consul serves to settle disputes within DYOS. Any rectification action is put to a democratic vote. It also provides a forum for general discussions regarding to DYOS.
