| Message | Would this involve the creation of an Internet law enforcement agency? Such as the NSA, FBI, CIA, etc... |

| Message | No, we think not. We are quite happy to use the system of having a specialist computer crime detection group within the ordinary crime detection authorities (police). ((This is the UK system and it allows a much more streamlined sharing of information etc. Different agencies for each type of crime seems to be too top heavy.)) |

| Message | Apparently they would rather encourage child pormnography, as our existing laws are not adequate, than vote for a proposal made by a political party that they happen to disagree with on some points. This is irresponsible and childish behaviour. |

| Message | We thank TiC, LPC and DSP for helping to make our nation a civilised society. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
