Welcome to the Policy/Legislation area of our forum!
This board's posting privileges are restricted to members only. Please keep the following in mind when posting:
a) Please post, debate, and vote only on legislation and proposals affecting the entire region! If a nation wishes to post about laws and changes thereto that only concern its own inhabitants and/or are only in effect within that same nation's borders, please post that in IC Events instead.
b) The IC (in-character) location of all dialogue herein is the Furry Federation Council chamber (pretend you are speaking to the assembly of nations). This means all those who post should be on their very best behaviour. Formal language particularly in your draft legislation is heartily encouraged but not absolutely mandatory.
c) Please do not only post problems, post solutions. Posts that only contain "there oughta be a law ...!" but do not contain any proposed laws or solutions aren't terribly useful.
d) Debate is encouraged but always remain respectful! Remember you are addressing the assembly of nations in the Federation Council therefore your nation is judged by your actions. Example: try saying something like "perhaps <nation name> has not considered the following potential problems that may arise from the adoption of their proposal ..." as opposed to "<nation name> is just plain ignorant because they don't realize how their proposal will mess things up .."
e) One thread per proposed piece of legislation please! As mentioned previously, debate is fine however member states are asked to restrict their replies to the thread containing the subject matter being debated.
f) Polls: yes, feel free to allow votes. Member states are encouraged to post followup messages explaining how they voted and why.
g) Thread owners are asked to update the titles of their threads to reflect the status of their proposal. Example:
- Legislation: Ban Ballerinas! (vote/debate)
- Legislation: Ban Ballerinas! (bill passed)
- Legislation: Ban Ballerinas! (bill defeated)
Doing this will allow all member states to see the status of all posted legislation.
h) A final reminder: the eyes of the Council and of the world are upon you: please behave accordingly.
