Appeal to the Ban of Malayan Singapura
#22

Your honour,

In answer to your questions:
Individually, the warnings didn't count for much. It's the combination of warnings from multiple different people, both inside and outside our government, which served to show Malayan Singapura that his behaviour was unacceptable. Anybody with a modicum of courtesy would have changed their posting style/content, or not posted at all if they weren't capable of self-restraint. Malayan Singapura, however, never made any attempt to stop himself from annoying everyone unfortunate enough to frequent the RMB.

While there weren't official rules at the time, there were established rules which have been in consistent use for a long time. Double (or more) posting, for example, has been a faux pas for over 6 years[1], while roleplay posters have been told to use Knowhere since it was founded almost a year ago[2].

Due to the nature of the RMB, with hundreds of posts per day covering a wide range of topics (and spamminess), there is always going to be some level of subjectiveness when it comes to applying the laws. It's impossible to give proof that laws are applied fairly, regardless of the system used, since the nature of 'spam' and 'annoying posts' will always be subjective, whether the laws are written down or not.

Malayan Singapura had no way of verifying that these were the lawful standards, but neither did he make any attempt to. While he usually just completely ignored any warnings he was given, whenever he did acknowledge them, he accepted them as law (and then proceeded to ignore them after that)[3][4][5]

Yes, I believe that the determination that he was entering regional politics in bad faith can be extended to a determination that he was in the region in bad faith, given that he admitted he was here temporarily until TNP took him back[6][7].

Someone who is here purely to improve their reputation with the intent of moving elsewhere when allowed to would be considered an invader, though their 'invasion' is on behalf of themselves solely, rather than an organisation.
