| Message | You may think this is a unreasonable bill but just hear me out. If someone post something about you, truth or lie, you may not like it posted. If it is true you still might not want other people to know about it. |

| Message | It is true you may not like it posted but that doesn't mean that it isn't true. What if there was a sex scandle concerning a powerful senator? Would that person be able to block those true stories? |

| 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. |
