[proposal= http://www.nationstates.net/page=UN_vie ... 1349378761][/proposal]

Excuse me for my lack of knowledge on how to do this right...

But to be completely honest, I see nothing wrong with the nation that Soviet New Scotland is saying to condemn. It is illegal under rule 4b; that's part of the game and it affects no one other nation.

I do apologize again for my inexperience; I'm not active on here much but found this proposal to be very... improper.
Also one can see by looking at the proposal's author, Soviet New Scotland, one can see they are clearly either brand new to the system or its someone being dumb. Either way, this proposal is, in my case, illegal for an R4 and trying to condemn a nation for playing the game.

Rule 4(b) is about referring to the game as a game (such as saying "Condemns Examplestan for playing NationStates badly"). That's not the case in the proposal you link to - I don't see any illegalities there. Your reasons look like ones to argue against it, not for a mod to remove the proposal.

Alright, thanks. At the time I posted this I saw no thread on the forum about this one, which lead me to believe there was literally nobody caring for it.

No one caring about a proposal ≠ being illegal, however.

This one is illegal. R4 violation in red.

The Security Council,

Noting the interference that the United Federation of Canada has played in the existence of Gargantuan and all the good work that has been accomplished by the administration of Reagan Island,

Agreeing that going backward, rather than forward, in this uncertain time, would be extremely heinous to Gargantuan,

Recognizing United Federation of Canada has merely one goal in mind: to destroy the peace of Gargantuan,

Realizing that such behavior is demonizing and prevents a region from having healthy interactions with its inhabitants due to the region,

Understanding that his input is not welcome,

And believing that such behavior should not go unpunished,

Hereby condemns the nation of United Federation of Canada.

It already has a thread, so it's best to point that out there.

SECURITY COUNCIL PROPOSAL
ID: ognjen_ahmadinejad_ii_1351631854

Repeal "Condemn The Black Riders"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation

Category: Repeal
Resolution: SC#91
Proposed by: Ognjen Ahmadinejad II

Description: WA Security Council Resolution #91: Condemn The Black Riders shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Argument: They still terrorize and raid many regions.
We need to stop them.


Condemns for the same set of actions of the Condemnation they have already (duplication). Rule 2(b).
Lacks an operative clause. Rule 3.

PostPosted: Tue Oct 30, 2012 2:31 pm
by The Great Destruction
It's a REPEAL, Frattastan. Duplication is impossible since the same resolution can only be repealed once.

PostPosted: Tue Oct 30, 2012 2:35 pm
by Sedgistan
The rule 3 violation is obvious; added to that I'd say it's rule 2(d) that this one violates - it doesn't address the contents of the resolution it's repealing - it mentions something from the Condemnation, but fails to actually give an argument against it.

PostPosted: Tue Oct 30, 2012 2:56 pm
by Frattastan
Oh. Only read the text of the proposal, didn't notice it was a repeal (as the argument didn't sound like a typical repeal argument).

I figured as much :)

Almost like the person thinks it was a commendation, not a condemnation, judging by that 'argument'.

I think he thinks "repeal" is just a misspelling for "repeat".

SECURITY COUNCIL PROPOSAL
ID: demincia_1351973988

Repeal "Commend Crazy girl"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation


Category: Repeal

Resolution: SC#49

Proposed by: Demincia

Description: WA Security Council Resolution #49: Commend Crazy girl shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: RECOGNIZING that Condemn Sedgistan was drafted after an agreement between Crazy Girl and Sedgistan, where it was agreed upon that Sedgistan would draft a commendation for Crazy Girl and in turn receive a condemnation;

AWARE that this resolution lacks substance to justify a condemnation, instead condemning for petty things such as the changing of a forum color and 'insults';

DISGUSTED by the use of the Security Council as a tool to play silly games;

HEREBY REPEALS Commend Crazy Girl.

Approvals: 1 (Mad Jack)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 70 more approvals)

Voting Ends: in 3 days 6 hours

This proposal's text is copied from Mahaj's repeal of Sedge's condemnation.

Just about to post this. Apart from blatant plagiarism, it addresses a resolution that has already been repealed.

No it doesn't. Crazy girl's commendation has never been repealed.

Actually, the text addressed my condemnation (as it was entirely copied from the repeal of that) and hence didn't address any of the contents of CG's commendation. Plus, it was obviously plagiarised.

Another mod dealt with it, btw.

...also, submitted under the wrong category? The author clearly didn't mean to repeal the condemnation if his "argument" is that they are still a menace.
