| Message | I know this may look like a hodgepodge of new law, but the basis is relatively simple. We must let our people have access to the content they watch, but we must also set limits as not to hurt citizens that are not mature enough to handle sexually explicit media. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not approve a Cultural Protocol request within the first 48 hours of it being requested. This is in order to give other players a chance to query the proposed changes, if they wish to do so. Moderation may be approached for advice on a proposed change, but any advice proffered should always be understood under the provisio that no final decision will be made until at least 48 hours after the request has been formally submitted for approval. |
