I am making this post because as a member of the 20th RA it has come to my attention that there are citizens who read the forums but are afraid to post here because they might be attacked if they do. It is crucial that we as a community make an effort to be factual in our responses, and respond to issues not persons. Saying you disagree with something is different than calling people names and mischaracterizing them. The SC has a duty to protect us as citizens in world and on the forums and in my experience, they do not do either.
The Scientific Council is an integral component of the C.D.S. democracy. Members of this body are responsible for ensuring that the actions of the C.D.S. government, as well as citizens and non-citizens alike do not violate the C.D.S. Constitution, the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, or our founding philosophies. As part of this responsibility, the Scientific Council is responsible for moderating the C.D.S. forums to ensure conversations remain civil and avoid libelous or overtly inflammatory statements.
This comes from the statement of the SC on this site
The way I read the above, the SC has a duty to make sure that these forums have only :
CIVIL CONVERSATIONS
NO LIBEL
NO OVERTLY INFLAMMATORY STATEMENTS
FYI......on a personal note. I have asked to have the Libelous statements about me removed and was told no by the SC. For anyone reading these forums, know that many statements about me are false and attempts to have them removed were denied by the SC I just stopped trying to get them removed and also stopped defending myself against these people who continued to state false things about me.
LIBEL: 2
a : a written or oral defamatory statement or representation that conveys an unjustly unfavorable impression
Dear Fellow Citizens.
Know that your rights to be protected on these forums may be denied, I do not know if this is a complete hands off policy that protects no one or if it is depending on ones political affiliations or biases by the members of the current SC. I only know for sure my experiences with this SC is they do not protect me or anyone affiliated with me, but seem to do so for those affiliated with themselves. This is just my observation.
The SC has failed in my opinion protect me and others as is their legal duty. Be aware that you could be in the same boat if you post on these forums. Hopefully this will be discussed and changed. Forum posting should not only be for the VERY BRAVE. You should expect that your ideas will be challenged, but not that your person and who you are will be attacked and misrepresented.
As a member of the 20th RA I request that the SC make a statement to the community about what is allowed and not allowed on these forums and how the citizens will be protected by them as is their duty.
