    GPA IRC Policy

    in Open World Forum

    Posted

    This policy is enacted by the current GPA administration effective immediately as regarding to how conduct should be in our IRC channels. We will be carefully selecting mods that agree to follow this to the tee and understand it. #GPA is currently disabled and should be back in the near future at which point this is to be followed by everone in that channel. Thank you.

    GPA IRC Code of Conduct

    I. Preamble

    In an effort to:

    • Create a neutral IRC environment

    • Respect all individuals and alliances within the GPA IRC channel

    • Foster an atmosphere that discourages out of character attacks on individuals and/or alliances

    The GPA establishes the IRC Code of Conduct.

    II. Applicability

    • The GPA IRC Code of Conduct only applies to the GPA pubic channel (#GPA on irc.synirc.net)

    • By entering the GPA public channel, you agree to follow the rules and procedures given by the IRC Code of Conduct.

    III. IRC Rules & Regulations

    Regarding all individuals

    1. Flaming or flamebaiting any individual or alliance is strictly prohibited

    2. Making any negative OOC comments regarding any individual or alliance is forbidden

    3. Imitating another user’s screen name is prohibited

    4. Linking to inappropriate material (pornography, etc) is prohibited

    5. Spamming the GPA channel is forbidden

    6. Harassing any person or alliance is forbidden

    Regarding GPA Members

    1. GPA members must remain neutral with regards to alliances or individuals within the Cybernations community

    VI. Punishment for Breaking the Rules

    1. For any individual that breaks the rules and regulations outlined above, a channel operator shall inform said individual of the infraction and give him/her a warning.

    • If, after receiving a warning, the individual continues to break the rules, then s/he shall be kicked.

    • If the individual returns later and still continues to break the rule, then s/he shall be IP banned from the chatroom

    2. Exceptions may be made from this procedure if the particular offense warrants it. For example, posting illegal material (cracked software, etc) would warrant an instant IP ban.

    V. IRC Administration

    Administrative Duties

    • Channel Operators must obey and enforce the rules and regulations outlined in section three.

    • Channel Operators must assign punishments for any violator of the rules. These punishments should follow the format outlined in section four.

    • Channel Operators must give a reason when they assign a punishment to any individual.

    Administrative Complaints

    • If an individual or alliance feels that they were unjustly treated, they may contact any member of the GPA government with a formal complaint. The GPA will review the complaint and, if warranted, will try to correct any wrongdoing.

    VI. The Golden Rule Clause

    The IRC Code of Conduct is designed to help foster a friendly and safe IRC environment. Simply put: treat others the way you want to be treated.

    GPA Declaration of Neutrality

    in Alliance Politics

    An Official

    Green Protection Agency

    Announcement

    Neutrality

    We are neutral and will remain that way forever. Forever very likely includes the time frame that this war will go on for. Disappointing, I know, but like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives. It doesn't have to make sense, it just is.

    Sanctions

    We will not be fulfilling requests for sanctions during wartime. We would have an overload of requests and more than we can handle. It would be outside our better interests and ideals to help some alliances with rogues and not others, as I'm sure most alliances will be having problems with them. Also, considering the more open policy on nuclear usage in recent wars, it is harder to differentiate what constitues a rogue during war time.

    Admissions

    The GPA admissions policies will not be changing for the war.

    Current GPA Government

    The GPA Officials list can be found at www.greenprotectionagency.com if you are not sure who we are and need to contact us about an issue.

    Summary

    Peace out! :wub:

    Bring on the expected posts and/or sarcastic unexpected posts. :)

    Oh btw, don't say we didn't warn you when the Orders comes for IRON/GPA one day

    Ok, we won't say you didn't warn us.

    Who are you again?

    Anyway, point being that the GPA and NPO have good relations and the utmost respect for each other. The only thing they'll ever "come for the GPA" for is some popcorn when their supply runs low.

    Have a nice day.

    We have good relations with those alliances. They are some of the finest alliances in the game and show their quality on a regular basis. Also, each of them holds some former members of the GPA, and I think there is a mutual love between us. Dislikes? What's to dislike. Each alliance is unique and great in its own ways. Though we may not necessarily agree with the way they run their alliances, we do not fault them for it, nor do we dislike them for it. In fact, we actually respect them for their approach in how it varies from our own yet they still succeed so well with it.

    I do not believe we've ever had a problem with the NPO, cept maybe when P_C was trying to merge with us to attack them, but we refused that great idea. In general, NPO has always shown the GPA a great amount of respect, and we do our best to return that favor.

    GOONS and ourselves have had close relations in recent times. Been a good mutual respect between our alliances.

    \m/ have worked very well with us diplomatically in many situations that have risen between the two of us. I have no reservations about their intentions toward us. I think the few issues that have come up have made our trust in each other as alliances much stronger.

    Would GPA have a problem if they knew one of their Senators/Senator Candidates had voiced an opinion that if s/he were to leave the game out of boredom they would go "Senator Rogue" and sanction people on the Green team?

    The GPA would very much have a problem with this. However, I see nowhere that this is happening.

    Session Start: Tue May 29 07:48:14 2007

    Session Ident: KristinMarie

    [08:17] <Bilrow|away> To me that is a horrible route to go.

    [08:17] <Bilrow|away> And one that is not acceptable.

    [08:18] <KristinMarie> why is that the only other option?

    [08:18] <Bilrow|away> What other options are there?

    [08:18] <Bilrow|away> Out vote her...trying that one first.

    [08:18] <Bilrow|away> Can't attack her out of Senate range she is in peace mode.

    [08:19] <KristinMarie> so have people vote for emperor fu

    [08:19] <Bilrow|away> That is the option we are working on right now.

    [08:20] <Bilrow|away> But like last night when she randomly picks a GGA member to sanction that's a little over the line.

    [08:20] <KristinMarie> well if i went rogue and was a senator, im sure i would sanction people too

    [08:21] <Bilrow|away> Really?

    [08:21] <KristinMarie> if i ever went rogue

    [08:21] <KristinMarie> which wont happen

    [08:21] <KristinMarie> but if i did i would

    [08:21] <Bilrow|away> Unbelieveable. That just blows my mind away.

    [08:22] <KristinMarie> heh

    [08:22] <KristinMarie> well it wont ever happen

    [08:22] <KristinMarie> so it doesnt matter

    [08:22] <KristinMarie> but if ive gone rogue its not like theres any coming back

    I'm not condoning Kristin's words, but what she said is still nothing more than a hypothetical situation. The "if" clearly shows that. She clearly stated she would never be going rogue anyway, making it fairly inconsequential. Also, this conversation occured on May 29th. If this is such an issue with the GGA, why are you only just bringing this to our attention? The fact that months have gone by and she has yet to go rogue is fairly decent proof that she wasn't lying when she said she would not.

    Session Start: Thu Aug 02 14:55:57 2007

    Session Ident: Kristin|Away

    [14:55] Session Ident: Kristin|Away (Kristin@synIRC-8E96E236.fuse.net)

    [14:55] <Kristin|Away> are you here?

    [14:56] <Bilrow[GGA]> Yes.

    [14:56] <Kristin|Away> Grand Global Alliance won't be going to this server. While we respect GPA's neutrality, I personally won't be going on a network where Kristin Marie is an IRC cop after "un-neutral" things said to me because of IC actions regarding things that happen here. GGA wouldn't feel safe there at all. Sorry.

    [14:56] <Kristin|Away> when was this?

    [14:56] <Bilrow[GGA]> Support of a nuke rogue

    [14:56] <Bilrow[GGA]> saying you would possibly do it yourself

    [14:57] <Kristin|Away> what nuke rogue?

    [14:57] <Bilrow[GGA]> senator rogue sorry

    [14:57] <Bilrow[GGA]> That's not kosher the thought of GGA private IRC rooms on a server where you are a cop

    [14:57] <Kristin|Away> so because i said if i was in a war and went rogue, i would use sanctions, you wont use it?

    [14:58] <Bilrow[GGA]> I mean there's lack of accountabilty and I wouldn't feel safe

    [14:58] <Kristin|Away> can you really ever imagine me going rogue?

    [14:58] <Kristin|Away> wha would i gain from that?

    [14:58] <Kristin|Away> what*

    [14:59] <Bilrow[GGA]> Just being honest how I feel.

    [14:59] <Bilrow[GGA]> GGA will stay on esper until we get kicked off with outposts on synirc and coldfront.

    [14:59] <Bilrow[GGA]> And then if we get kicked off esper we are going to coldfront.

    [14:59] <Kristin|Away> well i would appreciate if you changed the wording in your post

    [14:59] <Kristin|Away> its really rude

    [14:59] <Kristin|Away> and makes me look bad

    [15:00] <Kristin|Away> all because you misinterpreted it

    [15:00] <Bilrow[GGA]> Would you prefer I post the logs instead?

    [15:00] <Bilrow[GGA]> I'm sure then there won't be a misintrepetation on why I feel the way I do

    [15:00] <Kristin|Away> whatever bilrow

    [15:00] <Kristin|Away> just dont talk about me in your posts

    Saying that in a hypothetical situation where she was already a nuclear senator rogue, that she would use her sanction power is in no way non-neutral. It is purely hypothetical. People come up with hypothetical situations about the GPA breaking from neutrality all the time, yet that is anything but truthful to us. What Kristin said isn't even stating from her own perspective; she was putting herself in the shoes of another person in that situation. She did not say she supported the actions of the rogue senator at all. She said that if in there shoes, she'd have likely done the same stuff. She's not and will never be in their situation so it is all very inconsequential.

    KM's response:

    I will answer Bilrow's question since it is about me.

    I am not going rogue. Ever. It would be such a waste. If I was going to quit the game, I would just give all my stuff away. At that point, I wouldn't have enough NS to be in senator range, so you really have nothing to worry about. Also, that happened forever ago. Shut up and get over it.

    I think just about everyone I know has said "If I go rogue I'll..." at some point. Very few of them have actually gone through with it. To me, going rogue isn't an option, basically once you are a leader of an alliance, you can't do stuff like that anymore, even if you aren't curently that leader.

    This is the only place so far in which I can make a concession. Kristin is being reprimanded for her statement "Shut up and get over it." It is not the way of the GPA to use such phrases and terminology in diplomatic reception. She is in the wrong here and I apologize for those words. I will see to it that anything said to you further is done politely or not at all.

    My response:

    Lets review GPA history....

    Mary gets in trouble for sending a joke nuke pm to Pius after even giving a heads up to NPO(NpO) before doing it and doesn't get to keep the GPA presidency and ends up leaving GPA for NPO.

    I'm not overly familiar with the whole Mary leaving backstory. Everything said, Mary wasn't really the neutral type. She's said it plenty of times before herself. Her choice of doing a joke nuke pm while President was her own. It is not an action I myself would commit. This is nothing against Mary. I'm very fond of her. It is just not something I would do as President personally, and you will not see me do through this term, or any other.

    El Bruc says comments that weren't even bad and he gets removed from GPA because GOONS throw a fit.

    Umm, no. Firstly, I'd kindly ask that you don't give us a history lesson on our own internal affairs when you apparently haven't much insight on the facts. El Bruc was kicked for multiple offenses of the same thing and various warnings. He made posts that were non-neutral. Examples of them were shown in his trial. He broke the same rule too many times and there was no punishment left to give him but expulsion. No GPA member is above the GPA charter. We are all to abide by that. El Bruc knew that and he himself will tell you that his expulsion was justified. GOONS had nothing to do with his expulsion. All they did was pose to us that one of our members was acting in a manner they felt was non-neutral. Same thing you seem to be doing here, no? Difference is that I have yet to see any real substantial evidence of Kristin being non-neutral. Stating hypothetical situations is a matter of rhetoric and nothing more.

    But KM is allowed to say that she would consider going rogue as a Senator and sanctioning people and it's ok...

    Heh, now you just completely changed her words. She didn't say she would consider going rogue as a senator. She explicitly said that she would NOT do that. She stated hypothetically that if she were in the shoes of the senator who had gone rogue, she'd have probably used sanctions just as that senator did. Very different as it does not include Kristin in the equation at all. Just her stating what she would do in a position that she would never be in. Completely irrelevant to anything and everything really, and in no way breaks any definition of neutrality.

    Quite hypocritical, I believe GPA owes El Bruc and Mary an apology if they allow this.

    We owe El Bruc and Mary nothing but a thank you for your service while you were around and best of luck in the future. I would definitely hold a trial against Kristin if I felt she did anything non-neutral and warranting one, but thus far, I have yet to see any evidence from you that she has acted "non-neutrally". The hypothetical situation she made suggestion of didn't even include sides for her to take. She didn't say that providing the GGA was the victim or the GPA was the victim that she would use her sanctions. She said it in general terms staying neutral to any and all parties by doing so.

    This has nothing to do with wanting Green, this has to do with consistency in applying their charter and neutrality clause.

    The GPA knows what neutrality is and what it is not. We will gladly apply the charter to anything we see non-neutral.

    Now for the official GPA statement:

    The GPA has not been and currently is not sponsoring Kristin Marie as a candidate for Senator. The GPA membership does have the right to vote for whomever they choose though. Our current sponsored members are myself and Patjenn of Ted. This alone makes this entire situation irrelevant. On top of that, Kristin Marie has said nothing outside of hypothetical situations irrelated to any specific alliances, and thus has not stated anything non-neutral as far as I can tell from the evidence provided. Even above that, her comments were made months ago and not presented to us as a problem until now, so I do not quite understand why this is suddenly such a concern. Kristin will be reprimanded for any and all comments she has made that were rude and ill-intended in nature. Were a GPA Senator to ever go rogue, the GPA would take care of it as necessary and as diplomatically with the victom as possible. This, however, will not happen, as we choose our Senator candidates carefully to ensure their trustworthiness.

    If you, Bilrow, or the GGA in general would like to discuss this in more depth, I'd be happy to. I'd prefer it be done in private channels from now on as to help diplomatic courtesy between us. I am more than willing to work with any leaders whom see a problem resignating from the GPA, but private channels make it much easier and more efficient to take care of. Thanks and I apologize for the delayed response.
