Now, if moderation decides that Liberations for regions named "Haven" are illegal, I will abide by such a rule, but otherwise, I see nothing wrong here.

This is one of the biggest, steaming piles of bullcrap I have ever seen. Even the author of the exact same proposal that was blocked is disagreeing with you.

It's like someone discovering that a word (say, to take a leaf from Top Gear's book, 'Slope') is offensive through the un-intentional stirring of the hornet's nest. Then, once they know the hurt/anger that its use will cause, they themselves do it for no reason other than to see what lolz can be had.
While Mouse's statement 'All residents of RegionA are stupid jerks, so we should condemn them!' would be trolling (as it's direct), there is surely a different standard to be applied to 'indirect angering' as Flamebaiting?

Appeal pls.
And could I request that said appeal look into the possibility that is indeed flamebaiting?
The posting of a proposal - be it GA or SC in nature - is not, in and of itself, flamebaiting or trolling. Certainly, if there are particular clauses within the text that are troublesome ("All residents of RegionA are stupid jerks, so we should condemn them!"), potentially such a proposal could be dinged for trolling or flamebaiting. However, I do not see any such clauses within the current draft of this proposal; as such, this is not flamebaiting or trolling or otherwise rulebreaking in that manner.
I make no promises as of legality, in terms of SC rules, but I didn't really evaluate the proposal or post on those grounds. However, just like Mall's proposal, it's not trolling/baiting/etc.

Likewise, since Mall's repeatedly stated that the failure of the previous one has set soft-precedence that it'll fail again, I can't fathom why Shadow would propose it so soon.

But Mall's wasn't trolling, even though he knew very well that the last time the same thing was proposed, it riled up angry RPers? So, basically, if Afforess had waited a month or two, or a year, it wouldn't be trolling anymore?
Shadow Afforess wrote:Mallorea is a biased participant, of course he thinks my proposal is silly and his was well-formed. You might as well ask Romney what he thinks of Obama. You'd get the same kind of response. Mallorea should recuse himself entirely of these proceedings, IMHO.
