Topid

[Hileville]

Topid has been banned from the forums for launching an unendorsement campaign against Escade.

[Cassius]

A wise move.

Was this action done on behalf of the government?

 

While I believe the Code of Laws calls such acts treason, shouldn't there be a trial of some kind first before he is banned? Also - I believe the law states he should be banned from the in-game region too. Has this been done as well?

He's not a citizen or native of TSP, having made it very clear he's left the region. This was an administrative ban of someone in the midst of an un-endorsement campaign.

I'm not a fan of this logic because it crosses responsibilities between administrating a forum and in-game consequences. I feel the appropriate governmental authorities should have initiated this move. Seeing Escade's TG, I doubt she'd disagree with this move, but I think that it should have been a government action not administrator action. 

 

Just my opinion.

If he's not a citizen, he has no real protection under the law anyway, no?

Topid is not a citizen of the region and has not had a nation in the region for a long time. There is nobody Escade can ban and he can't be tried, so this move can only be administrative.

[Bundesdeutschland]

This is...bad. Um...yeah.

[Farengeto]

He's committed full out treason more than once already, and is without a doubt a security risk. And as he is not only not a citizen, but not even a resident of TSP, he does not possess the rights granted by the Charter.


As well, Treason is punishable by a ban from both the forums and site. And while this is arguably still treading the line, the Evidence A, the telegram, he sent me violates half the items listed under treason and is hardly open to interpretation.

If we attacked his region first and then he responded like this, that's not how I'd define treason. I'd define that as self-defense.

But since he leaked NSA information first...he made his own bed.

Even if it's not treason, it's an act of war and he shouldn't be allowed on the forums.
