Canadian Ejection and Board Suspension Guidelines
Recognizing that the delegate of the region of Canada has the power to eject nations from the region;

and further recognizing that moderators on the off-site forum have the power to suspend and ban nations from the forums;

and further recognizing that in the interests of democracy, certain limits should be placed on the power to eject, suspend and ban;

the Cabinet of Canada has enacted the following rules with respect to Board usage, regional residency, and the implementation and use of ejection, suspension and banning mechanisms.

I Ejection, Suspension and Banning Criteria

1. The delegate may eject any nation from the region without consultation with the Cabinet in the following circumstances, and an Administrator of the offsite board may unilaterally suspend any nation’s offsite account in the following circumstances:

(a) Where the nation has requested to be ejected or suspended, as the case may be;
(b.) Where the nation has posted “spam”;
(c.) Where the nation has posted clearly racist, homophobic, sexist or other messages that can be clearly defined as inciting hatred against any identifiable group;
(d) Where the nation is insulting an individual member nation based on characteristics stated in clause © above;
(e) Where the nation posts obscene materials, images or links;
(f) Where the nation posts out of character threats to another member;
(g) Where the delegate has reason to believe that a nation or group of nations poses an imminent threat to the constitutional rule of the region.

2. The delegate may eject any nation for any other reason upon consultation with Cabinet and majority approval of Cabinet for the ejection or an Administrator of the offsite board can suspend an offsite account with the majority approval of cabinet for the following reasons:

(a) Flaming (swearing, insults);
(b.) flame baiting;
(c.) baseless rule violation accusation;
(d) using Canada as a hidden base of operations for an invasion without authorization;
(e) participation of in an enemy invasion of the region of Canada that is not an immediate threat to the security of the region;

3. Where an ejection has taken place as a result of a section 1 or section 2 event, the length of the nation’s stay on the ban list shall be determined by majority vote of the Cabinet. Where an off-site board suspension has taken place as a result of a section 1 or 2 event, the length of the suspension or ban shall be determined by a majority vote of the Cabinet. Ejected and/or suspended and/or banned nations may telegram the delegate and ask for a hearing into the matter, using the region’s dispute resolution mechanisms. The ejected, suspended or banned nation may request a different punishment or relief from punishment at the said hearing.

4. Any actions that the Cabinet determines require a permanent ban WILL be reported to the Mods. The definitions of "Spam" “Flaming” "Obscene" and “hatred” are entirely at the discretion of the Cabinet or the delegate, as the case may be. All nations ejected shall receive one TG with the details of the punishment and the reasons why the action was taken, along with a link to the region's legal thread and their legal recourse. Representatives of Canada are required to act reasonably and professionally throughout the process.
