After “Anything appended to a post in this way must be placed in the Admin field of the post, and the post’s Status must changed to reflect its status.” in Rule 1.7 Gamestate Tracking, add the following paragraph:
If a post, official or otherwise, contains highly offensive material, any Admin may remove it. If a Survivor objects to this, an Admin shall revert the removal.
Although the original poster would probably object, unless they were not intending to be offensive.
The legal ability to remove a post from existence using the subjective magic words “I find this highly offensive!”, before restoring it intact at any point in the future, seems a little too tempting to scammers.
It’s also not clear what “remove” means, and how reversible that actually is within ExpressionEngine.
I think this is OK, but we need a more explicit definition of what highly offensive means. Furthermore, I don’t think it should be reverted simply by asking it, or the player who posted it in the first place can have it back with not effort.
s/v per Kevan; when I said “remove”, I had meant “remove the offensive part”, but it’s too open-to-malicious-interpretation.
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.
BlogNomic is powered by pMachine ExpressionEngine.
