[DRAFT] Commend The Rejected Realms

[YSG Hermitcraft]

Thanks

An idea for you, YSG, might be to consider directing your attention towards a Declaration. I think you'd find a Declaration would be easier to write - less research to do. It's more about spelling out a problem and providing answers to resolve it.

For instance, a declaration on the situation in the Rejected Realms. Such a declaration would have to be carefully written not to run afoul of the rules against discussing site moderation. Guy proposed (and dropped) an RR Assembly resolution on NS Moderation which might offer some inspiration to you.

In such a Declaration, you could discuss:

• The hate and disinformation being spread on TRR's RMB and the community's attempts to combat it. (Moderation can't claim you're interacting with the site rules by discussing this in a resolution, because they're saying a lot of this stuff isn't actionable. If it isn't actionable, it's not within the scope of moderation then.)
• Express sympathy for TRR.
• Reference SC#358, our first SC Declaration, and its author's "tireless advocacy against hate" in NS. I think it's a bit sad that the SC never had an opportunity to commend Cormac for all of the contributions he brought to NS, and it would be a good gesture to give him a nod in such a resolution without connecting the dots directly that he was DOS'd over this debate.

In terms of operative clauses...

• The SC could make a call for volunteers from across NS to help TRR moderate its RMB and suppress content.
• The SC could raise awareness of this issue, and ask regions to try to address hate and disinformation internally before ejecting and banning offending nations and downloading the problem to TRR.
• The SC could also ask regions that maintain embassies with TRR to encourage the responsible use of TRR's RMB from abroad.

Just some ideas for you!

I might do a Declaration, but as Sedge said: "Telling a new player to run headlong into Rule 3b is not good advice."

Telling a new player to run headlong into Rule 3b is not good advice.

I don’t see why a newer player couldn’t take on the project. We were all new players at one time.

That’s why the SC community exists: to help vet and support authors.

A common commendation requires a lot of research, especially if you’re new to NSGP. A declaration is focused on recent events, requiring less research: the real challenge would be to write something effective and rules-complaint.

I also wouldn't advise talking about Cormac's "advocacy against hate" considering it was structured to break rules and got him DOS. I also don't think approaching 3b is going to do very well at all, so I personally wouldn't invest in that sort of work, but this may be affected by bias (I personally believe this is something OOC mods have to handle, not IC bodies).
