Corporal Punishment

[PM ISLAND]

I want to report that my policy of corporal punishment just disappeared.

That's part of the game, man.

I want to report that my policy of corporal punishment just disappeared.

I don't know if this is a bug report, or a press release. If it's the former, this is normal from answering issues. If the latter, wrong forum.

So... okay? That's a thing that happens.

Do you want to say the Corporal Punishment was removed by an issue that you don't think should remove it? If so, report it in the appropiate thread, and say which issue it was. (However, I have only two issue options recorded as removing the policy, both of which are fairly logical.)

Are you simply pointing out that you deliberately removed Corporal Punishment using an issue that should logically do so? We don't care. Maybe your friends on your region's RMB do, though even if so they're unlikely to be interested in a report with so little detail.

I should have explained, that I did not pick an option in any of the issues that would have affected this policy.

You picked option 1 in Issue 487.

The Issue
A young woman recently died of suffocation after a local magistrate sentenced her to wear a traditional ‘Mask of Shame’ - an archaic custom exclusive to rural areas of Southern @@NATIONNAME@@ - several civil rights groups have called on the government to intervene and outlaw this cultural practice aimed at humiliating those who transgress social norms.

The Debate
“She was only sixteen,” growls self-proclaimed humanitarian @@RANDOMNAME@@ in a strong accent distinct to the East End of @@CAPITAL@@. “These backwoods nut-cases have been humiliating people, especially young women, for centuries. Merely being accused of scolding or wearing the wrong shirt can buy you a week in the mask. They even come with a studded gag to keep you from speaking. Not many people know that. This horrendous practice must be outlawed, and we should start a thorough re-education program to stomp out all their medieval ways.”

It's not an immediately obvious one, I'll grant you, but "all their medieval ways" is an inference to corporal punishment, which is often referred to in similar language.
