halobear8’s Inauguration Speech

 Hi, everyone!

 First, I would like to say thank you so very much for electing me to be your Prime Ximbo! ‪‪❤︎‬ I am incredibly honored to have been entrusted into this role. Thank you to everyone for voting, whether it was for SweetAsNuts, Sandi Lut, KatieBoutique, or myself. You have all nobly participated in democracy + I’m proud of those who ran and those who voted for who they believed in most. ❤︎

 Second, I just want everyone to know that FP, Minister of Justice, and Minister of Government roles are still open, so if you’re interested send me a message! I believe I have my work cut out for me + any assistance would be much appreciated. I would like to give my FP, Ministers a 15% cut of the treasury money combined. So, say there are 2 Ministers appointed, they will each receive 7.5% respectfully.

 Third, I will post and pin threads containing rules throughout the forum, as promised they will be reinstated.

 Rules (courtesy of bxdcherri’s administration):

━ Forum and Site Rules ━

The Fashion Police team functions under a 'good faith' policy. You will be warned for most rule-breaking behaviour before receiving an infraction. However, should the team feel the user acted in bad faith the team will reprimand the user with infractions without warning. The Fashion Police holds the right to enforce rules and take action against users they feel are not acting in good faith. Additionally, breaking multiple rules in a short amount of time may incur additional infractions even if different rules were broken.

When your account receives an infraction, it means you will receive one or multiple points. When your account reaches a certain amount of points action will be taken against your account. All users are free to ask about decisions made towards their account, publicly or privately, but keep in mind Fashion Police are not obligated to respond publicly.

━ Rule 1: Protected Characteristics ━

Users are not allowed to post or promote anything discriminatory towards a person's identity, status, and genetics, this includes the following characteristics but is not limited to:

   ● Age

   ● Familial status

   ● Pregnancy and parental status

   ● Disability, chronic illness, and overall physical and mental health

   ● Race, skin colour, nationality, ethnicity, or national origin

   ● Religion or belief

   ● Sexual orientation

   ● Sex and Gender

FP will consider you to have broken this rule if you make a post or comment that is:

  ● Promoting discriminatory or hateful beliefs towards one or more of these characteristics

  ● Insulting people based on one or more of these characteristics

  ● Suggesting or promoting harmful “fixes” to one or more of these characteristics

  ● Refusing to call people by their preferred name, gender, and pronouns, or otherwise undermining their identity

  ● Anything else that the Fashion Police believes to have been posted in bad faith with regard to protected characteristics on the site

Any user who is found to be posting or promoting any of the listed offences will be warned once before receiving 4 points or up infraction, depending on the severity.

━ Rule 2: Illegal Content ━

Users are not allowed to participate in or promote/post positively about the following illegal activities and content:

  ● Doxxing - the posting/sharing of another user’s personal information without prior knowledge or consent of the user. This includes but is not limited to social media accounts (Facebook, X, Instagram, Discord etc.), real world identity (real name, photographs etc.), home/work addresses, contact numbers, email addresses.

  ● Committing identity theft/fraud, e.g. convincing people that you have the identity of a different person in real life than who you actually are (For example, pretending to be another user)

  ● Stealing information and/or money from other people through phishing and/or scams

  ● Linking to viruses, malware, or otherwise harmful programs that can damage a computer, phone, or other electronic device

  ● Hacking or attempted hacking of the ximboland website, database, ximboland user accounts or associated ximboland media

  ● Real-life gore content, including excessively detailed and/or realistic art or illustrations depicting violence, injuries, wounds, or body horror outside of the scope of what is available in the shop

  ● Encouraging others to commit self-harm or suicide, including callous, harmful, hateful, or mocking responses to users who mention struggling with thoughts of self-harm

Any user who is found to be posting or promoting any of the listed illegal activities and content will go to trial immediately.

━ Rule 3: Adult content ━

Because Ximboland is an 18+ website we allow the posting and discussion of adult content such as sex, sex roleplay, alcohol and legal drug use, heavy/mature topics, and illustrated artistic nudity that does not go beyond what we already have on Ximboland (nipples and pubes). We expect real life rules around consent to be followed on site.

Users are strictly not allowed to:

  ● Post real-like or illustrated videos and images of explicit pornography

  ● Sexual Harassment, for example, unsolicited ERP (Erotic Role Play).

  ● Encouraging or glorifying excessive usage of substances in real life, to the point of serious mental/physical harm.

Any user who is found to be posting or promoting any of the listed offences will be warned once before receiving 8 points or up infraction, depending on the severity.

━ Rule 4: Behaviour ━

Here on Ximboland, we believe in free speech and the freedom to share your opinions, concerns, feedback, and constructive criticisms. What we don't believe in is harmful behaviour towards the community, derailment and disrespecting others.

The following behaviours are not allowed:

  ● Posts in any language other than English outside of designated threads

  ● Topic derailment

  ● Harassment

  ● The usage of slurs towards individuals in an attempt to hurt and/or offend, or using slurs when talking about a collective group

  ● Threats of violence towards one another

  ● Spam, including posts with no discernible content, posts that are either gibberish and/or repeatedly posting the same thing multiple times in a row (threads where this is the stated purpose are excluded)

  ● Anything else that the Fashion Police believes to have been posted in bad faith to harm the Ximboland community

Any user who is found to be posting or promoting any of the listed offences will be warned three times before receiving 2 points or up infraction, depending on the severity.

━ Rule 5: Politics ━

Strong opinions on topics pertaining to real-life, such as politics, are allowed and will not be censored. That being said, there is a respectful and constructive way in which these opinions should be shared. Posts and discussions should be respectful, educational, and non-harmful towards other players. Discussions of serious topics that could provoke disagreement should be kept to the politics section of the forum, within The Senate.

Any user who is found to be posting material outside of the designated forum section will be warned three times before receiving 2 points or up infraction, depending on the severity. Any user who is found to be breaking any other forum rule in the context of a political post will receive a corresponding infraction.

 Fourth, it’s been requested of me to comment on this post left by SweetAsNuts in my manifesto thread:

I have posted this in response:

I just wanted to let everyone know a second time since this is a big and valid concern for people to have. When SAN and I have figured this out, I will let everyone know. Additionally, when this is figured out there, will be new rules posted up with a punishment system included in the post.

 Thank you so much for your patience with me during this time. I hope to bring glory and peace to all of Ximboland!

Hi Halo
Good on you for running again! You are a true Ximbo patriot.

One important point I must make is that we will/have removed teh power from the PB of banning fellow Ximbos. It was too important a role to pass over to you guys and creates a system whereby we are rewarding moderation as opposed to rewarding entertainment.

So from now on your recourse to take action against anyone whom you deem necessary is to put them on trial to be judged by the senators in the Ximboland court. Furthermore we are considering allowing punishments to be in the form of removing either

a) Bimbos dollars
b) sex appeal
c) reputation

from the guilty bimbo. Should they be found guilty by the senators.
So to re iterate - you wil not have the power to read reports, edit words or ban Ximbos.
Only Sylvie/we will have that power.
Your main job is to entertain and only minster of justice can bring to trial some Ximbos for the senators to decide.

I hope this is clear
