RECONGIZEING that many ambassadors are using their power to abuse, destroy, or beat others into submission by the use of derogatory or discrimination tactics to make one feel inferior within the many debates seen, The WA, here by, will implement a just Court system to deal with such action.

[Rutianas]

This is why we have moderators who can look into it if someone feels that another person is getting out of line. The entire proposal is also illegal due to game mechanics or something like that.

[Spartzerina]

I believe Rutianas is right.

And if it was legal, I'd fix 'recongizeing' and make it 'recognizing'.

[Flibbleites]

You know, I've been playing this game for a long time and I thought I'd seen it all. but this is the first time I've ever seen someone try to usurp the mods' authority via a WA proposal.

b) The IAJ will choose fair and just nominees without any regard for popular influences or certain party affiliation(s)or nation Affiliation.

HA.

This would merely replace the alleged "abuses" by the ambassadors with an easily corruptible court system.

arnt moderators non existant players in the field of role play?

[NX401]

Also, 1) feaderalist, how do you suppose that that this would be a easily courrptable court system when that is a true sub artical within the real constatution of the United States?
2) im not trying to ursurp anybody, im not taking the power away from anybody, just making a good organization in which we can submit complaints if nessary. basically its a calling for a creation of a court, for which players of all kinds getting beat up within the forums, bullied, verbally abused, destruction of reputation, or any other demaning tatic can call for a punishment for those that do. i want people to speak up and show that some of these people that do this actually have a voice instead of being alone.

trust me, i have been bullied on this thing by a few suggested players and it made me relize that their is no way to complain but all you can do is yell and bitch and scream but it has no effect except for the moderators decideing somewhat of deletion one nation or to possibly both parties. if you have a court system that can trully show representation amongst both parties for argument. we can leave it in the hands of our WA nation members to make up their minds of who was right and who was wrong.

What's this, you want this place turned into a police state?

Now in answer to your other question, we make our decisions based on the facts. Res ipsa loquitor. The facts speak for themselves. We only enforce the rules of the game. We aren't there to iron out differences in RP styles.

[NX401]

but i do not understand then, are moderators a part of the game or not? if they are, in the game of role playing, then this is an illegal act. However, i have a ferw friends playing this game and tells me moderartors are non existant within the role playing game. thats all i am doing, is role playing. made some fake committe, with some real life rules within it.

so im still confused then on a few things? 1) what do moderators actually do
2) are they existant within the role playing game?

[Kryozerkia]

Let's see...

We deleted duplicate posts, which is what I just did.

Also, we do moderate RPs, but not in the way that a typical RPer would like. We don't break up petty squabbles. We only get involved when it's more than an argument over RP styles, spelling, grammar or other petty gripes. Only spam, flamebaiting, trolling, flaming etc will cause us to be involved, not bad role playing.

Kryo has explained how we work in the purely RP forums, such as II and NS.

Mods also have a specialised role in the WA, where players may choose not to RP their ambassadors, but just post as themselves, which makes the question of "flaming" sensitive. Some players believe they have been personally flamed when, in fact, their opponent has been roleplaying a dispute with their character. If you feel you have been bullied you should take it to the Moderation forum or submit a Getting Help request if you want it dealt with confidentially.

Mods' role with proposals is to see that they have been written to certain guidelines and to delete them if they haven't. This is necessary because they affect the statistics of players' nations.

So, as well as keeping the forums operating with a modicum of politeness, in the WA mods deal with whether proposals are legal; that is, whether they're written in a way that will make it possible for them to be coded into the game. Other players help newcomers by pointing out if they've made mistakes. This isn't flaming or bullying. They're trying to stop you getting a warning for submitting an illegal proposal.

The proposal you've just suggested wouldn't be allowed to come to a vote because it isn't legal. It involves how the game is played (game mechanics), duplicates what mods do (ditto) and breaches the fourth wall (metagaming) -- that is, it mixes up what we're pretending happens (RP) with what really happens (proposals being voted on and taking effect).

You can find out more about how proposals are written in the stickied thread at the top of this forum, where The Most Glorious Hack and Frisbeeteria have set out what the proposal rules are and how they work.

You can also read about how the WA works in this thread by HotRodia. It's not stickied yet because I still have to do a bit of formatting after it was copied over from Jolt.
