RMB Rules & Expectations

Welcome to Europeia! Below are the rules and expectations for all nations contributing to the Regional Message Board! If you have any questions or concerns about these, contact any of the below nations, who are all recognized "Enforcers" of the rules:

King HEM
Aexnidaral
Lethen
Drecq

Rules:

— No excessive profanity, no offensive or obscene material (images, mottos, external links, etc.)
— No double-posting (unless you are participating in an AMA, answering a direct question, or responding to a new post that has been made while you were typing your previous post)
— No regional advertising
— No national role-playing in the RMB (National RP can be done on our forum: http://s6.zetaboards.com/Europeia/forum/59512/)
— All posts must be full sentences and written in some recognized variation of English.
— All posts must be worth the real estate they are on. That is to say, posts can be viewed by ALL nations ALL over Nationstates. If a post is not adding value to the discussion, or RMB, it will be removed. The RMB is meant to be a place for discussions, not excessive nation-specific announcements or small asides.

Enforcement Mechanisms

If you break expectations, there will be educational sanctions. Our hope is that these sanctions will allow you to learn the expectations.

(1) Post suppression. This means your post is removed from the RMB. You will receive a telegram explaining the removal.
(2) RMB Ban. If you continue to break expectations, you will be sent a telegram from one of the above Enforcers, officially banning you from the RMB. This ban will remain in effect until you write a short telegram to the nation who banned you, explaining the rule you violated, and explaining how you will avoid such behavior moving forward. (roughly 300 words)
(3) Temporary ejection. If you have still been breaking expectations, your nation will be ejected (but not banned) from the region.
(4) Regional ban. You will be banned from Europeia until you telegram King HEM a gameplan for how you will meet expectations going forward. (roughly 400 words)
(5) Permanent Ban.

Regional officers reserve the right to skip steps in this enforcement framework in extraordinary circumstances.
