New Schedule of Proposal Offences

23-02-2004, 03:55
As of the next proposal sweep, which will be conducted within the next 24 hours, the following changes will take place regarding warnings and UN ejections. This is due to the increasing volume of illegal proposals in certain categories:

There are now two types of Proposal Offences, Minor Offences and Flagrant Offences. 3 Minor Offences will get you removed from the UN, while 1 Flagrant Offence is enough.

Flagrant Offences
1. Radical changes to Game Mechanics - including but not limited to the following: setting up parallel UNs, Security Councils etc; allowing individual nations to decide whether or not to abide by resolutions; repeal proposals or proposals supporting the repeal of past resolutions.
2. Racist or otherwise "bigoted" proposals - including but not limited to the following: advocating the killing of any minority groups or deportation of same to other locales.
3. Other highly offensive proposals - to be decided upon on a case-by-case basis.

Minor Offences
1. Minor game mechanics changes - where not covered above.
2. Incorrect Categorisation of proposal.
3. Proposal not worthy of UN's consideration.
4. Real-world-based proposal.
5. Pathetic joke proposals - including but not limited to "against dihydrogen oxide" and "the right to arm bears".

This schedule will last until further notice and is intended to curb the excesses of recent proposal queues.

One question, what about replacement or clarification proposals such as 'RBH' Replacement which was passed on Jun 26 2003 or proposal that would override a section of a resolution. Ex: if the UN Space Consortium passed could someone make a proposal which would open up the moon for colonizations by individual nations?

Thanks,

Thanks,
PatoxiaAmendments to proposals, that kind of thing, and/or overriding of clauses in past resolutions. I think that these should be allowed.
