Aye - My issues with this process happening immediately have been fixed with the 3 months requirement, bill seems reasonable enough to manage permanently deported player's assets.

I don't particularly care enough on either side for this bill. Abstaining

 

[Smami]

Aye, players who have been removed from the server often hold quite a lot of funds that are effectively removed from circulation entirely upon their removal, this allows us to recollect a significant amount and help recirculate it within the economy of the server.

 

[Anthony_Org]

Changing my vote to reflect my vote as a senator. my vote as a rep was Abstain

 

[Anthony_Org]

After rereading the bills contents I no longer "don't particularly care enough on either side for this bill."

The pruning of evicted players will bring dead money back to the government. I would support a version of this bill applied to Bank accounts but this is a good first step.

Edit : rewording this since its 2am my time, leaving old statement up for clarity

The pruning of evicted players DBs will help bring dead money back to the government. I believe a version improving this bill by allowing the DoC to prune bank accounts of evicted players should be considered in the near future but I see no need to stall the bill with an amendment.
