Small Convention on Forum Based Weapons

Post by Erik Mortis »

First draft.
Small Convention on Forum Based Weapons
1. Any nation who has signed the General Membership Treaty may sign this Small Convention on Forum Based Weapons.

2. All signatory nations agree to refrain from and condemn the use of Forum Based Weapons.

3. Forum Based Weapons include any weapon meant to disrupted, prohibit or undermine the operation of a nation's forum or other means of public communications.

3a. Known Forum Weapons include, but are not limited to, Smiley Bombs, Spam Cannons, Posts with disruptive embedded scripts, and manual spamming of forums.

4. The use of Forum Based Weapons against a nation is considered a hostile and aggressive act of malevolent intent, intended to inflict harm upon said nation.

5. Upon giving notice, any signatory nation may exit this treaty.

6. This treaty may be amended by a 3/4ths majority of signatory nations.

4. might seem odd, but it's to make sure it's clear that one nation using a Forum Weapon on another constitutes a act that could invoke treaties such as the Mutual Defense Treat.

Looks good.
The character Andreas the Wise is on indefinite leave.
However, this account still manages:
Cla'Udi - Count of Melangia
Manuel - CEO of VBNC. For all you'll ever need.
Vincent Waldgrave - Lord General of Gralus
Q - Director of SAMIN
Duke Mel'Kat - Air Pirate, Melangian, and Duke of the Flying Duchy of Glanurchy

And references may be made to Vur'Alm Xei'Bôn (a Nelagan Micron of undisclosed purpose).

I don't think 4. is odd at all. Best to define our intent as explicately as possible with these sorts of things to prevent any possible claim to ingorance later.

Ok, I signed this. Should I edit it into my previous treaty post (in the repository), or make a new post?

Edit it in? Then again, it might make sense to seperate your treaties from the first post in the thread....
