Regarding the "three thread rule" of Portal to the Multiverse, upon review, Moderation has determined that such a judgment was both unclear and needlessly restrictive, relying upon an older ruling regarding a specific circumstance. As such, for the sake of clarity, the following will be our policy regarding thread quantities in Portal to the Multiverse:
- Multiple In-Character threads are acceptable, insofar as they are substantial and otherwise do not consist of spam, and otherwise do not become burdensome to other players, crowding-out the front page of the Portal to the Multiverse board unduly. To quote the P2TM welcome thread: "It's possible to have multiple IC threads however you don't want them to get too invasive."
Archive threads, lore threads, and similar are permissible, insofar as they adhere to the previous ruling regarding being of substance, not merely duplicated information from an Out-of-Character Thread.
In other words: cases will be judged individually, upon their content, context, and history. In the event they are ruled unacceptable, they may be locked or merged into another thread within the roleplay, based upon determination by the acting Moderator.
The following addresses not merely the NS Parliament, but the NS(G) Senate and any successor(s) arising from it or its contemporary rendition. For the purposes of this ruling, Moderation will be treating them all as a part of the same "thread franchise." As such, our ruling is as follows:
- NS Parliament RP [OOC/Open], Parliament Chamber [IC], NS Parliament Life Outside [IC], and NS Parliament Character Database [IC/OOC] will be moved back to P2TM.
- NS Parliament Office [IC/OOC], upon review, has been determined to qualify as a chill/chat location thread, and is thus prohibited. It will be locked. Organization and drafting of NS Parliament legislation may be readily conducted in the above, remaining threads, with onus upon the OP for organization of such; C/CLT-like behavior may not.
- All "party list," "party roster," etc. threads currently in Forum 7 will be locked. They are, further, prohibited from being re-created in P2TM. The above remaining threads and/or dispatches may be used for such information, with onus upon the OP for organization of such.
- Cross-posting between P2TM and F7 - such as posting some IC/OOC in P2TM and some in F7 - is prohibited.
- The NS(G) Senate, NS Parliament, and/or any successor(s) are prohibited from F7 indefinitely.
- NS Parliament (and/or any successor[s]) must conduct itself as a P2TM roleplay, to include all of the expectations of such. This thread franchise belongs on no other board. Failure to do so, therefore, particularly if the thread OP permits it to devolve into C/CLT-like behavior, will result in it being ruled as one and the NS(G) Senate, NS Parliament, and any successor(s) being prohibited on the forums indefinitely.
Considering the consensus of the NS Moderation Team on this ruling, it is not subject to appeal. Moderation considers this matter closed.
We thank you for your patience.
