IWK supreme court Regional Message Board

Appeal of Exodus

I present before the court, the first appeal under the new judiciary code, and cite Section 5 of that law, which states as follows:

The sentences of all nations subject to LTBMs as defined by A-18 are to be automatically given long bans without mandated service time. Accordingly, the records of these nations are to be altered to accurately follow the terminology used by the Code of Conduct.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Originally, my ban had been for two weeks, thanks to gaining regional warnings for actions taken while I was angry over the most recent war with Wooloos at that time. Feeling too invested at that point, I began frantically searching for a way to continue RP in some way, leading to a quick stint in IWK before I was banned from there as well. This action was considered ban evasion, and I was given an indefinite ban soon after, which was quickly changed to a four-year ban after the passage of A-18.

My actions were immature and unlike myself, and I sincerely apologize for them. I have no defense for it; they were my fault, and I should take ownership of those faults.

In the four months since then, I have had the time to reflect on my actions and work to improve myself, by focusing less on NS as a whole. I have also had the chance to get on speaking terms with people like Wooloos, allowing the rehabilitation process to show its fruits quicker. As he (North American Imperial State) and The Real Underground, among some others, may note, I have not been close-minded or rude to anyone from IOC; in fact, I have been enjoying speaking with Wooloos and being able to return to good terms with him. In fact, he is the person who inspired this appeal, and has promised support for it. These two are mentioned partly as proof of rehabilitation, as they can attest to what I claim.

I am committed to continue working on my relations with people, as well as avoiding future rule breaking. I have read the new law, and the new Code of Conduct, and understand the ramifications behind any negative actions.

I ask the court to consider both sides of this, and make a fair assessment of my case.

Statement from the Prime Minister regarding vouching for Untecna's Appeal

As stated. I can confirm things he has said here in his opening statement for the appeal of his case.

Back in October when this ban was made, untenca was willing to accept no faults for what he had done during the entire situation. now that I have had time personally to reflect on the situation. this is a massive improvement from how he was, in my conversations with him both either involving IOC or personal things, he has been completely calm and has not spoken badly about any member region so far as I'm aware. in addition through these conversations, I have seen that he has calmed down a lot. and has expressed regret about what he did resulted in him being banned and his hostility towards other members in the region in general.

I might also state that the court must not forget the actions of Myself, which were ruled on here previously, and other members of the region which provoked Untenca further, initially we thought were just criticizing him. but in many situations, a lot of people including myself went too far and they would have certainly contributed to the blows up and dispatches that were made before untencas ban. while these actions were at least for a good part not done in malice. this does not excuse the actions of myself or others.

Now that it has been 4 months, going on 5 I firmly believe that Untenca has shown that he is capable of rejoining the region and even improved in many aspects during his exile. and therefore as stated earlier I will vouch for his appeal here. and i firmly belive that him rejoining the region will great boon to the region as a whole.

-Prime Minister Wooloos

Oops

I forgot to ping the court.

Judiciary Code of 2024

A Bill to consolidate the powers of the judiciary, amending for the purpose A-4 and A-18.

Maintaining that the present court system reintroduces several flaws previously amended by past government reforms, believing that the quantitative nature of the IM system fails to account for the subjective nature of regional jurisprudence, and adamant that these various codes and systems may be cohesively unified through a single, eclectic judiciary code to better serve the interests of the region, BE IT ENACTED BY THE KING'S MAJESTY AND THE REGION THAT:

SECTION 1. This bill, upon approval as law, shall be known as the "Judiciary Code of 2024”

SECTION 2. Let it be defined for the purposes of this legislation:

  1. "regional warning" as a written, RMB-based sanction for the violation of any rule.

  2. "regional loom" as a written, RMB-based sanction for the violation of any rule which does not result in a warning.

  3. "short ban" as a ban with a predetermined length upon incurring, lasting between two (2) to seven (7) days.

  4. "long ban" as a ban with an indefinite length, of which a minimum of one (1) to five (5) months must be served as ordered by the Supreme Court.

SECTION 3. The current warning system is hereby abolished and all previous laws and terminologies heretofore are hereby repealed.

SECTION 4. Pursuant to the provisions and intentions of the previous IM system, a revised Code of Conduct is hereby established to formalize the protocols necessary for the orderly sanction of regional violations, ordered according to Level I, II, III, and IV violations as defined in that document.

SECTION 5. The sentences of all nations subject to LTBMs as defined by A-18 are to be automatically given long bans without mandated service time. Accordingly, the records of these nations are to be altered to accurately follow the terminology used by the Code of Conduct.

SECTION 6. Short bans shall be immediately sanctioned upon the commission of a Level II violation, subject to the discretion of any RO active at the time of the commission of that violation.

  1. The intervening RO does not require the permission of the Supreme Court to neither sanction a short ban nor determine the duration thereof.

  2. The duration of a short ban may not be appealed.

SECTION 7. Long bans shall be sanctioned upon the commission of a Level III or IV violation, subject to the discretion of the Supreme Court within a week of the initial incurrence of that violation.

  1. Before the sanction of a long ban, the Chief Justice or any associate justice is mandated to justify the duration of the long ban in the Supreme Court for the purposes of transparency, but shall not be subject to scrutiny by any other body.

  2. Once the duration of a long ban is set by the Supreme Court, it may no longer be modified, and the offending nation must serve the mandated month/s in full, after which they may undergo a process of appeals. Those convicted of a Level IV violation require the permission of all incumbent ROs before pursuing their appeal.

  3. Should the Supreme Court fail in issuing a long ban within one (1) week of the initial incurrence, disciplinary actions may be undertaken by the executive government against those offending members of the court.

SECTION 8. Nations that are issued long bans automatically lose their citizenship. Upon reentry, they may return to the region but only as a probationary citizen, during which time any violation of the rules of the region shall be immediately punished through the sanction of another long ban.

  1. A probationary citizen may be restored normal citizenship at the careful discretion of the Supreme Court and the executive government.

  2. A probationary citizen may not run for political office.

SECTION 9. Zarbik is to be established as the owner of the Warning Tracker Dispatch. All regional warnings must ping both the offending user and Zarbik in order for that warning to be considered valid.

SECTION 10. In the event of inactivity or CTE, the duty of the Warning Tracker Dispatch automatically transfers to the Official Dispatches account.

Level I Violations

Level I Violations are defined as acts which run contrary to the etiquette of the RMB, the RP, or otherwise do not result in harm to any player but which nevertheless remains disruptive in nature. Actions that constituted Level I Violations include:

  • uncensored profanity;

  • notification spam;

  • RMB spam;

  • jokes about self-harm;

  • quote editing;

  • untranslated, out-of-context, non-English posting;

  • recruiting;

  • refusal to follow RO sanctions;

  • unauthorized RP map creation;

  • godmodding;

  • involving site moderation; and

  • any other violations that are either similar or analogous to those listed above.

The ROs of the region are empowered one or a combination of any of the following sanctions when a nation commits a Level I violation:

  1. regional loom

  2. regional warning (three strikes)

  3. post suppression

If a Level I violation is determined, the relevant sanctions must be implemented immediately by any active RO. The commission of three (3) Level I offenses—that are either contextually related or otherwise indicative of a willful disregard of regional rules—will automatically be treated as a Level II violation.

Level II Violations

Level II Violations are defined as any action that willfully disregards the rules of the region and which may result in harm being brought upon any players, the region, or any of its respective bodies. Actions that constituted Level II Violations include:

  • flaming;

  • flamebaiting;

  • arguing with ROs;

  • inciting arguments;

  • trolling;

  • fearmongering;

  • monetary transactions;

  • malicious impersonation (1st violation);

  • misuse of government services;

  • blackmail; and

  • any other violations that are either similar or analogous to those listed above.

The ROs of the region are empowered one or a combination of any of the following sanctions when a nation commits a Level II violation:

  1. short ban

  2. regional warning

  3. post suppression

If a Level II violation is determined, the relevant sanctions must be implemented immediately by any active RO. The commission of three (3) Level II offenses—that are either contextually related or otherwise indicative of a willful disregard of regional rules—will automatically be treated as a Level III violation.

Level III Violations

Level III Violations are defined as any action that flagrantly and willfully disregards the rules of the region and which may result in serious harm being brought upon any players, the region, or any of its respective bodies. Actions that constituted Level II Violations include:

  • adult content;

  • doxxing;

  • malicious impersonation (2nd violation);

  • ban evasion;

  • threats of violence;

  • election rigging;

  • treason; and

  • any other violations that are either similar or analogous to those listed above.

The ROs of the region are empowered one or a combination of any of the following sanctions when a nation commits a Level II violation:

  1. long ban

  2. short ban

  3. post suppression

If a Level III violation is determined, a preliminary short ban must be implemented immediately by any active RO. Then, the case of the offending nation must be referred to the Supreme Court, which will sanction a formal punishment.

Level IV Violations

Level IV Violations are defined as the willful commission of a real crime while operating within the region.

Though punishment of these actions may no longer be within the region’s jurisdiction, and may instead be transferred to the oversight of sitewide moderation, any RO within the region active at the time of the commission of a Level IV Violation may automatically sanction a long ban of the maximum possible duration for the offending nation without requiring the authority or permission of the Supreme Court.

Appeals

All long bans have a mandated amount of time that must be served, ranging from one (1) to five (5) months, after which it becomes an indefinite ban. It is only when a long ban becomes indefinite, ergo when a nation has served the mandated amount of time, that they may appeal for their return to the region. Those punished for Level IV violations may only appeal if all ROs apart from the Chief Justice approve of the motion.

Appeals are to be reviewed by the Supreme Court and scrutinized by the ROs and past witnesses. All appeals must be written, and must be posted on the RMB of the IOC’s Supreme Court region with the following details:

  1. an account of events leading up to their banning;

  2. a formal apology for their behavior;

  3. proof of rehabilitation; and

  4. commitment to avoiding further violations

Those scrutinizing the appeal may write a formal challenge against it, and must be posted on the RMB of the IOC’s Supreme Court. The challenge may include counter-arguments against the appellant’s rehabilitation, proof of having committed similar offenses in other regions, and questions concerning the case which the appellant may answer.

Once all arguments have been exhausted, the Supreme Court may decide to either accept or reject the appeal. The decision to accept the appeal must be unanimous, else it is automatically rejected. If rejected, the appellant must wait a month until they may attempt another appeal.

Boris Cult, MLGDogeland, Cormoe
Don't forgot the judiciary has been updated

Cormoe Boris Cult

I would like to formally request that, despite the absence of Melons, litigation begins on the case, in the hopes that Melons will be online to help make the decision. I do not believe that any legal codes bar the justices from needing each other all online at once to begin litigation, only to make the final decision on a case.

I make this request in the hopes that the case does not become drawn out unnecessarily.

Edit: Nevermind, as per the below

Verdict: Institute of Cellulose v. Untecna

After reviewing both the appeal, Untecna's conduct while in exile and additional evidence, the court has agreed to grant the appeal.

Further details may be provided later.

This court is now adjourned.
