OFFENSES, PENALTIES, AND PROCEDURES.
14. It is forbidden to--
(1) commit any act within Toxspace which, had it been done in a bridged channel, would be against the federal charter;
(2) within Toxspace, harass, disturb, molest, or annoy any user of Toxspace on the basis of their belief in the tenets of or membership in any organization which proclaims the truth of any matter which cannot be proved by modern science;
(3) malign, slander, libel, lie about, or otherwise transmit false information about any user of Toxspace for the purpose of obtaining the transgression or unregistration from the TSUKI Project of that user, anywhere; and
(4) attempt to violate offense (1) of the federal charter, anywhere.
15. The following punishments, and no others, are available for these acts:
Banishment - for serious and repeat offenders, consisting of removal from and prohibition of access to Toxspace.
Quieting - for minor offenders, consisting of prohibition to speak in any bridged channel. A person subject to quieting is still free to join any other member of SSN, subject to the discretion of the users of that member in a position of authority over it.
Infraction - for acts inconsistent with a healthy community but which are not malicious in their nature. May consist of the two above actions imposed for not more than twenty-four hours, or a warning. An infraction does not deprive its subject of any rights as a user.
16. The Board of Administration may be petitioned to reverse the following official acts:
(1) A punishment issued under regulation 15, even if the punishment has expired, but not if the punishment was an infraction, or if the matter has already been decided--by the subject of the punishment; and
{(2) A decision to admit any user into Toxspace who has been quieted or restricted elsewhere on SSN pursuant to the federal charter--by the victim of the offense, if the offense admits of one, despite which the user was admitted.}
{17. A decision by the Board is final, unless the rule under which it was made is contended to be inconsistent with the federal charter, in which case appeal is to the Federal Council of SSN.}
{18. The person who made the decision or imposed the punishment which is now appealed from is allowed to file a response to the petition; both the response and the petition may contain evidence necessary to support the claims made in them; both have the right to cross-examine any witnesses the other side may bring.}
