all proposed

ADministrators should vote for or against each point or vote to abstain.

• Only items that receive a majority aye vote will be enacted.
• Items that receive a majority nay vote will be formally rejected.
• Items that do not receive a majority aye or nay vote will be open to possible amendment by any Administrators if he so chooses. After the amendment process is complete, the item will be voted on one last time.
• Items that receive a majority abstentions will need to go through an amendment process and be re-voted on once.

Conditional votes for, against, or to abstain should be explained by the Administrators in parenthesis after his time-stamped signature. For example, an Administrator can state that he would only favor a particular remedy based on whether or not another remedy/remedies were enacted.

Proposed principles

proposed wording to be modified by Arbitrators and then voted on

1) Players have the right to determine the backstory of their own nations, and other players attempting to alter the backstory of nations that they do not control are engaging in godmoddery.

Honest attempts to update another nation's backstory should still be permitted, as this is in the spirit of NSwiki, but substantive changes should be discussed beforehand on that article's Talk page, and the decision of the Nation owner should be considered final.

Note: This should not be used to establish precedent for Regions, Alliances, Wars, or other shared roleplay where there is no clear owner.

Nay:

Abstain:

2) NSwiki, insomuch as it provides a resource for NationStates RolePlay, should not accept edits that promote godmoddery.

Aye:

Proposed findings of fact

proposed wording to be modified by Arbitrators and then voted on

1) User:Syskeyia has used the IP address of 192.91.253.52 to edit NSwiki and the edits of User:192.91.253.52 are by the same person as the edits of User:Syskeyia.
