[Plain-text copy] (Passed) WA Forums Act

[New World Alliance]

WORLD ALLIANCE FORUMS ACT
Authored by the Empire of Great Eurussia
Co-authored by the United States of Scouting


This is an OOC proposal.
Following the conversation with Scouting, we would like to jointly initiate a Security Counci enacted law providing guidelines on the conduct within the WA Forums.
Section 1) The official off-site forum of the World Alliance shall be the existing World Alliance Forums.
Section 2) Freedom of speech is recognized throughout the WA Forums provided that its exercise is regulated by existing rules or existing policies per subsequent WA Sub-Forums or per WA thread. All account holders (nations) are expect to maintain a minimum standard of behavior.
Section 3) Any posts or any thread at the WA Forums containing any of the following shall be prohibited:


   illegal
   spam
   defamatory
   obscene
   threatening
   malicious
   griefing


Section 4) The following are the applicable punishments or consequences for any blatant violation of any of the prohibition prescribed on Section 3. On the other hand, any executive or judicial action of the Security Council beyond the scope of this Act shall remain superior.


   First Offense - Forum Warning
   Second Offense - 1 Day Forum Ban
   Third Offense - 3 Day Forum Ban
   Fourth Offense - 7 Day Forum Ban
   Fifth Offense - Permanent Forum Ban



Section 5) It is necessary that offenses shall be counted based on the similarity of the grounds for issuing the said punishments. It is also encouraged tha dedicated thread shall he created to serve as the depository of offenses made to all account holders (nations) for reference.


Section 6) All account holders (nations) at the WA Forums have the privilege to invoke this Act as necessary as it is needed. And shall be acted and weighed upon by any applicable authority available.
Section 7) All account holders (nations) subjected to the provisions of Section 4 may opt for an appeal within one day after the implementation of the punishment/s. Initially, an appeal shall be filed to the Vice Presidency whose decision, if favorable to the concerned account holder (nation) shall have the consent of the Presidency. Otherwise, if the decision of the Vice Presidency is not in favor of the account holder (nation), that decision is final.

Section 8) But as a means of last resort for the account holder (nation) accorded with the particular punishment, in connection to Section 7, it may opt for a last attempt to reverse the decision of the Vice Presidency by seeking an endorsement to overturn the punishment decision of the Vice Presidency from an existing member of the Security Council which shall then be subjected to the approval of the Security Council. Whatever the outcome shall be final and immediately executory.
NOTE: This initial draft is just the outcome of discussions between Scouting and Eurussia, including the adoption of reasonable and applicable NS Rules as initial basis. All sorts of opinion and revisions are very much welcome.

Thank you.
