Closed RPs - Thread authors in the roleplay forums may restrict their RP to a select group of posters specified by forum name. This must be done in the original post and clearly labeled. Thread authors may not make blanket statements prohibiting or allowing only certain groups, alliances, or entities posting rights. Closed RPs MUST be done as above.
Does the above also apply to Open National RP forums? For example, if I say "Closed RP", wouldn't that by principle disallow everyone except authorized individuals from posting?

I believe the operative word here is 'RP', the existence of author's rights is an exception by itself already and only valid for the IC forums under Open National. With Open National being OOC author's rights do not exist here.
To quote what was placed above the rule you cited:
[quote][i]Author's rights applies [b]ONLY[/b] in the two IC RP subforums and [b]ONLY[/b] there. They are relevant in no other area on the Cyber Nations Forums.[/i][/quote]
