Regional Code of Law (RCOL) Creation

Welcome, Representatives, the President, other government officials, and anyone else that would like to contribute, this will be the Code of Law creation thread.

I believe we should begin with handling cases such as destroying the forums, spam, and proxy IP addresses.

I will post new laws once we have come into agreement below:

Quote:
 
The Democratic Union of Allied Nations Regional Code of Law


Section I: The Forums



Subsection A: Topic/Post Deletion


1A. Deleting more than three posts and/or one topic every thirty minutes shall be prohibited.

This shall exclude the deletion of accidental posts, if the person(s) who posted the accidental posts have given consent for their accidental posts to be deleted.

1B. The maximum sentence for every count of illegal deletion occurring over the legal limit shall be up to five (5) days exile from the region (if accused by the Executive Branch) and/or an IP ban on the criminal's account on the regional forums for up to five (5) days.

1C. The maximum sentence of five or more counts of illegal deletion occurring over the legal limit shall be three weeks of exile and/or permanent a IP ban for the person that committed the transgression.


Subsection B: Spam

1A. Posting the same or similar post more than four times anywhere on the forums within 30 minutes shall be counted as spam, and shall be prohibited.

Posts shall be counted as spam only if they are irrelevant to the context and/or interrupt the proceedings of the thread(s) that the spam posts were posted in.

1B. The maximum sentence for every count of spam occurring over the legal limit shall be up to five (5) days exile from the region (if accused by the Executive Branch) and/or an IP ban on the criminal's account on the regional forums for up to five (5) days.

1C. The maximum sentence of three or more counts of spam occurring over the legal limit shall be three weeks of exile and/or permanent a IP address ban for the person that committed the transgression.


Subsection C: Proxy IP addresses

1A. Signing up to the regional forums using a proxy server shall be prohibited.

1B. The maximum sentence for each count shall be a required permanent post using an ordinary IP address or an IP address ban on the proxy server's IP address.

2A. Posting on the regional forums with a proxy server IP address shall be prohibited.

2B. The maximum sentence for each count shall be permanent usage of an ordinary IP address and the proxy IP shall be banned.


Section II: The Regional Messaging Board and the Forums

Section A: Fraud Voting


1A. Fraud voting shall be defined as:

  • voting with two (2) or more nations and/or two (2) or more forum accounts with the same IP address during a single election;
  • and/or a single person voting with two (2) or more accounts with different IP addresses during a single election.

Fraud voting shall be prohibited.

1B. The maximum sentence for each count of fraud voting shall be one week exile and/or a one week ban on the person's IP address, and any sentence including exile and/or an IP address ban must take place during the next election.


Once we have finished and a majority has come to agreement, a formal vote can be held on the Congressional Floor.

Feel free to suggest anything (I can put it in the correct legal format), what we need is ideas, suggestions, or any contributions.

I thought once they were deleted, they were just gone. Shouldn't it be a ban, instead?
You're referencing Section A, right?

If so, I agree.
Check Section A, 1C.
But how would you recover a deleted account?
Right. You cannot. Now we have a problem, though, because people who posses an account, but their IP is banned, still may post and login with their account.

I would say temp ban for up to five days.

They can still log in and post, though, even with a ban on their IP. I would have to delete the person's account to prevent them from posting.

At least, I think so. Any volunteers who want to test it?

Article VII, section 2.


Unfortunately, that doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

Article VII: Section 2
 
The Supreme Court shall hold a trial for all people accused by the Executive Branch of breaking a law. The defendant may argue in his own defense, or have a citizen do it for him. A representative from the Executive Branch must argue to the court why they feel that citizen has broken a law. After reviewing the debate, a plurality of justices may vote guilty, and the citizen shall be exiled (banned) for the period of time that law prescribes. If a plurality of justices vote not guilty, then the citizen shall not have any form of penalty inflicted upon him.


Declaration of the Rights of the Citizen
 
No citizen shall be exiled from the region for a duration of more than three weeks, consecutive or non-consecutive.


It very clearly states that the maximum period allowed is three weeks.

Right, I thought Gladia had taken that out before he proposed it or something because I assumed it would have been in the same section, for some reason.

I think it is obvious at this point that I need to brush up on my knowledge of what is in the constitution, haha.

I added fraud voting and touched up a little on the other portions of the RCOL. What do you guys think?

You should take out the "multiple" in fraud voting. As it stands, if I only voted once, but with 15 nations, I would be within the law.

Does that make sense?

But I'm sure more can be added. Ah, well, I guess if we come up with anything later we can always pass more legislation.
