Report to the SC - Facebook 6/22/2014

Post by Ceasar Xigalia »

This is a copy of a report made to the SC on 6/22/2014 and is listed as item 5 on the SCs agenda for July 5th 2014.

Report to the SC - Facebook

I wish to report to the SC that Rosie Gray removed me as an Administrator and downgraded my rights from the Confederation of Democratic Simulators (CDS) Facebook page. This followed me being added as an Admin by Tor Karlsvelt a few minutes earlier in my official capacity as Chancellor.

Immediately prior to this set of events posts and comments made to the CDS FB site, by myself and others, regarding the SL11B CDS exhibit were removed, repeatedly, despite repeated successful postings. Someone with the rights to remove legitimate posts at that time was removing them. This required action on my part to protect the assets of CDS.

The following screenshots show the postings made that were removed.

There followed an IM conversation with Rosie Gray where I pointed out that CDS law requires the Chancellor to manage 'web-based tools' as per NL 7-3 and that the Chancellor is responsible for 'overseeing the production and maintenance of publicity and public information with respect to the actions, policies and history of the CDS government.' as per NL 13-1.

I will gladly share the IM chat I received from Rosie Gray, which includes her typing a number of profanities.

This is the time line record as a screen shot from FB which shows me being added as an Admin then down graded to Editor then added as an Admin again. Tor added me at my request as an Admin under my authority as Chancellor per my request today June 22nd 2014.

I can add others on request as per the law.
