With recent experience of players being allowed to disregard cultural protocols, would Moderation considering altering the rules so that this behaviour is no longer allowed? For real-life comparison, the Ahmadi-Dorvik situation would be like a Hindu party declaring Hinduism as the state religion in the UK.
Hi James.
Ofcourse, sorry for the late response.
The intention of the new system is to deal with the problem of culturally open nations and nation raiding. As you can see in 6.iv we are trying to implement a system where players that have been in the nation for some time need to approve new cultural protocols. We want to avoid situations where total random players can enter a empty nation and make it culturally open with just a few steps. With this new system you will not be able to make your nation culturally open unless the CP expires which is hard on itself since anyone that has played in the nation for 30 days in total can request its renewal even if they do not play in that nation at that time.
The system for changing cultural protocols will remain the same with one more provision, that being the 30 day requirement listed in 6.iv as stated before.
This system should (in theory) be less intensive then the current system. I do understand what you are saying though with the possible workload etc. we are still of the opinion that the system we outlined is the best solution. But we are open to more suggestions!
