I would like to argue against the (perhaps) imminent repeal of the requirement of admin notification of proxying. I have applied to rejoin the Regional Assembly, at which time I will be able to participate in the debate, but pending that I would like to remark that the debate so far has missed some important details which I believe deserve consideration:
  • Someone who ceases to use residential IPs and consistently only uses proxy IPs from then on could, when their residential IP changes, subsequently apply for citizenship on a puppet nation using the new residential IP address.
  • The law does not require notification to be public, only that it be received by the executive and the judiciary. Changes could be made to the practices or the law to improve upon it, but the original goal of that clause was to admit the possibility of prosecution for proxying should it be appropriate and to enable counterintelligence efforts. I believe the statute regarding the Speaker's office requesting re-evaluations is insufficient for those purposes and this law should not be repealed without replacement.
  • A purpose of the statute as written is to put the discretion of whether to prosecute for proxy usage in the hands of elected officials and not at the discretion of forum administration. Without some kind of required information sharing, forum administration would have full license to admit any quantity of proxy usage based on their personal sense of trustworthyness or other reasons.
 
  • Someone who ceases to use residential IPs and consistently only uses proxy IPs from then on could, when their residential IP changes, subsequently apply for citizenship on a puppet nation using the new residential IP address.
This is important to consider, as DHCP reservation times are often short and can result in an IP address change following a power outage or other internet service interruption (self-inflicted or not) of significant length. This year alone, I have suffered IP address changes on Jan 5, 2025, Feb 5, 2025, and Apr 15, 2025, according to forum records (the most recent of which I can say for certain was the result of a power outage).
