The Organisation Forums

If you have any questions regarding the Hall of Justice please feel free to ask. Whether it be about the laws or about a specific occurance, etc. either myself, Zenithan or any forum member knowing the answer will answer your question upon the nearest convenience. Consider this free forum legal consultation, meaning lawyer services are being given away for free.

Note that your court consists of two people, yourself and Geoff.

There is something that I have a problem with; just two minor things:



That would, by definition, enable me to say whatever the hell I want. However, I am limited to where I am allowed to say my negative thoughts. If I understand correctly, I am only allowed to blow it all out at someone in the Hobobox? I don't really care where I can post it, just so long as I can tell anyone what I want if they piss me off enough etc.

The other thing is the title changing that goes on around here. I think that that is a breach of privacy. I've been repeatedly changed to various names and I don't like it; especially when it's from a "Judicator" as you two like to call yourselves now. I've changed it back from Hitler Youth to Trekkie. I'd appreciate if peolpe would stop that.

The reason that your fundamental rights and freedoms are not absolute is that they are regulated by section 1 of the Constitution.



This means that you have freedom of speech only so far as is deemed reasonable by common sense. For example, flaming someone is a breach of reasonability, as are most other infractions laid out in the Code of Offenses. And yes, rules don't apply in the Hobobox. OOC, it would be nice if we could separate criticism from flaming in this way. I'd like to think that people would be more open to criticism if they weren't being called "thick", "assholes", "brick walls", or other such things. In the long run, it makes criticism more likely to succeed.

There is nothing I can do about the title changing at the moment because it was done before the Constitution came into effect; however, I don't think it would constitute a crime anyway, as it doesn't actually release any details about you personally. At most, it could be considered slander, but certainly not a breach of privacy...

Finally, the Judicators don't really have that much control over most aspects of a case, except the more serious ones. The Judicators exist mainly to carry out the court procedure.

Sincerely,
Zenithan

~Glad to be of help.

Note that this occured before forum Laws or the constitution came in to effect. Also note that while it is by no means an invasion of privacy it is borderline flaming. Note that with Laws in place somebody who put work into creating the said laws would not violate them in the abcense of a loop hole. I went a little crazy on new years eve to get it all out of my system, sorry about that.

Are there time limits (number of days between posts etc.) during the trial other then the 3 days of public comments?

They may soon be set up if Schmidt doesn't hurry up and post his case.
