Proposal to repeal TNP Law 27

[Gracius Maximus]

The use of proxy servers to access the offsite community forum should be managed and mandated by forum administration, not the offsite government construct. Enforcement of any "out of character" real life actions should be handled by an out of character body, not an in character body.

The Court fully supports the measure taken by the stated Law but believes the enforcement should remain with forum administration, who confirms and supports the board Terms of Service.

Therefore, we, the Court of The North Pacific, in an effort to streamline the governing documentation of the region propose that TNP Law 27, Proxy Server Usage Law, be repealed in full:

TNP LAW 27
Proxy Server Usage Law

Article I

Section One

The use of a proxy server by a forum user to conceal a forum user's host server is declared to be a security risk to the region.

1. The use of a proxy server by a Member Nation that is a member of The North Pacific Army or Intelligence Agencies shall require the prior express authorization of said official entity which may be disclosed confidentially to other government officials only in the performance of their official duties.

2. Use of a proxy server by a member Nation that applies for Regional Assembly membership is prohibited, and constitutes a criminal offense that may subject the violator to a permanent ban from the regional forum, ejection from the region by the UN Delegate, or both. This provision may be enforced prior to, or subsequent to, a trial in the manner provided by law.

Section Two

1. Proxy server usage is defined as the use of an IP connection with the intent of rendering a forum user anonymous, aka proxy spoofing, or any such practice designed to allow a member to have multiple accounts on the TNP forum.

Article II

This law shall go into effect immediately upon passage.

I agree with you and think this would be far better off as part of the forum rules.

Since we know the admins are reading this forum... I think it would be helpful to have them sign up in favour of this measure as well, in so far as they will add effectively add this to the forum rules (or however it will work in that regard), as that is the more appropriate place for it. I'm good with this.
