The rules of '''SwagBalls''' were originally posted by '''Meme Alt''' on February 22nd, 2022, with additional rules being added at later dates. The no bigotry rules were strengthened as a variety of slurs were banned in all contexts, removed automatically by the '''AutoModerator'''. On May 15th, 2023, '''Walter''' clarified the list of words banned under the rules, as well as their respective punishments. | |+The September 2024 SwagBalls Senate Election | ||

The September 2024 Senate Election season was from the beginning mired in controversy. Senator '''Charter''' (<b style="color:#b20040">NSP</b>) was '''pitted''' by the mod team at the very start of the new election cycle. This coincided with the newly ratified First Amendment to '''#📜-the-constitution''', which guaranteed due process to all citizens of '''SwagCord''', making '''Charter''' the first to be tried under the new system, for the first time, by the jury of one's peers. Although it is believed that the prospects of the new, more transparent process helped quell any potential outbursts, due to scheduling, his trial was set only after the election had concluded. '''Charter''', however, declined to run. | |||
[[File:NovaSP poster.png|left|thumb|248x248px|An example of an anti-<b style="color:#b20040">NSP</b> poster produced by <b style="color:#fb04cc">NovaSP</b>. This specific poster was created by '''Chauka'''.]] | |||
The rising '''Chauka'''-led <b style="color:#fb04cc">NovaSP</b> party had been among the ruling <b style="color:#b20040">NSP</b><nowiki/>'s strongest opposition. Although exercising no power in '''#🏛-the-senate''', '''Chauka''', being a former senator, retained access there. However, most of the campaigning came in the form of the many propaganda posters produced mostly by '''Boris Chico''', who had been recruited from the ranks of the allied <b style="color:#0f9ed5">CPoS</b>). The party's campaigning began as early as August, weeks before the elections were called, against the <b style="color:#b20040">NSP</b><nowiki/>'s corruption and perceived authoritarianism. | |||
The <b style="color:#6c41bb">Anarchist</b> <b style="color:#000000">Party</b>, taking note of its rising popularity, ran '''girard''' as their candidate. The electorate proved highly receptive as the proposition was announced. Although still formally the party leader, '''@no-one''', feeling sick in the past weeks, decided to allow '''girard''' to take center stage, and run as the party's main candidate. | |||
The debate produced a strong showing from many candidates, especially independents, however, the election remained a likely match between the <b style="color:#b20040">NSP</b> and <b style="color:#fb04cc">NovaSP</b>. '''Dainis''' was interrupted several times by '''Ballistyx''', who ran onto the stage to call him a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism fascist] before leaving. The debate's live flash-polling showed great support for the interrupter, who received a high number of gem-reacts after each post. The '''#🎫-voting-booth''' opened soon after. Due to an uncharacteristically large surge of voters, almost all ballots were filled within four hours, and elections were called early. The mod team had been tracking the results for the past few hours, and yet the results remained equally as shocking. '''Xertun''', tied in first place with '''girard''' of the <b style="color:#6c41bb">Anarchist</b> <b style="color:#000000">Party</b>. Due to the rules surrounding <b style="color:#6c41bb">Anarchist</b><b style="color:#000000"></b> candidates, first proposed during the '''Walter-LarKcuavian administration''', an <b style="color:#6c41bb">Anarchist</b><b style="color:#000000"></b> victory fills '''#🏛-the-senate''' with empty seats. | |||
The results firmly showed a new composition of '''#🏛-the-senate''', where '''Xertun''' and '''girard''' would be the only members. The members of the <b style="color:#fb04cc">NovaSP</b> opposition took to the streets to protest the results of the election. A movement in support of the '''President''' resigning has even gained support of the '''President''' himself.<ref group="note">After '''Chauka''' promised to draw him two Peters.</ref> As the mods were tracking the count, several instances of huge swings in support of certain candidates were noticed. Although '''girard''' held a lead during the early hours of the election, a massive chunk of his support was soon lost, before suddenly coming back in the final minutes before closing. The <b style="color:#b20040">NSP</b> candidate, '''Dainis''', would go on to taunt the '''mod team''', claiming that certain members of it are easily corrupted, however, the claims have been deemed dubious. The <b style="color:#b20040">NSP</b>-led campaign of unfair tactical voting was deemed "successfully unsuccessful" by the parent company [[69SwagBalls420/War Room Association|War Room Association]] due to Charter not participating in elections, so they've used the reserve plan to bring down Nova with themselves by voting in candidates that would establish a kakistocracy. | |||

==== The Second Trial of Charter ==== | |||
After a week of tension between '''Charter''' and '''LarKc,''' legal action had been pursued, the main catalyst being an aggresive comment made by '''Charter''' towards administrator '''Decoherence'''. In the span of a few days, and indictment was made and a date for the trial was finally decided upon. This would be the first trial to take place after the constitution reform allowed certain rule-breakers or troublemakers to hold a trial in their defense before the moderators take action. | |||
At 20:47 UTC on the 9th of September 2024, chief moderator '''Walter White''' would send out a message to the newly created #⚖️-courtroom channel, where he would go onto to explain the contents of the indictment and encourage the @Jury role to familiarize themselves with said document. This message would also announce that user '''Dainis''' would represent defendant '''Charter'''. | |||
The charges in the indictment can be summarized as such: | |||
• Posting private messages and inciting a fight | |||
• Joking about owning child pornography | |||
• Making an overly rude remark | |||
The moderators would be the ones to prosecute, though '''Walter''' and '''Decoherence''' would be the only moderators who actually fulfilled this role but '''Ballistyx''' would also take the role of trial judge. With defendant '''Charter''' represented by '''Dainis''', the jury was assigned the @Jury role. The group of users with the @Jury was as follows: '''Chauka''', '''The Soviet Onion''', '''Banarnar''', '''Jumbo Manta''' and '''Luftwaffles'''. The jury would discuss their decisions privately, outside of the #⚖️-courtroom channel. It may be good to note that '''Xertun''', —owner of a partnered server— used his texting permissions to join into the courtroom and lighten up the mood. | |||
'''The Day of the Trial''' | |||
After much rescheduling, the trial was moved to the 16th of September 2024, 19:30 UTC. At the agreed time, the trial begin with '''Decoherence''' criticizing '''Dainis''' for being 3 minutes late, then the trial begun. | |||
A brief summary of the charges was provided before the defence proceeded. After some banter, the defence had agreed upon their response to the first of the charges. '''Dainis''' states that there was no foul play in count one, as '''Mr. Asex''', who shared screenshots of direct messages with '''LarKcuavian''', did so in a public server. The defence also remarks that '''Mr. Asex''' did remark that '''LarKcuavian'''<nowiki/>'s action were one of the reasons he had left the server, which made '''Charter''' feel morally responsible to share it with the server. '''Decoherence''' responded by showing off a screenshot where '''Mr. Asex''' states that while he had mentioned the issues outside the server, it was '''Charter''' who asked for the screenshot, and '''Mr. Asex''' never meant to cause any trouble. The first charges ended with it being clear that '''Charter''' had a right to share these images, but the mod team deems it an unnecesary escalation of conflict. After a 5 minute break where '''Walter''' went to grab some snacks and defendant '''Charter''' had cuddled his kitty, the first charge proceeded. The opening act was over; '''Dainis''' had uncovered the so-called "''Operation United Russia''". The first of two video files uploaded to the courtroom showed a 31 second exposé on the moderation team's actions. The video showcases the RVR ER2 train bot, added to the server by '''Dainis'''<nowiki/>' request during his time in senate. The bot, designed by '''Dainis''' himself, had been relaying messages from the moderators' private channel onto an unknown server. The messages had mainly showcased administrator '''Decoherence''' repeatedly calling for the banning of '''Charter'''. '''Decoherence''' later admitted he was teaching '''Girard''' to hate '''Charter''', showinv off the missing context of the bot's messages. Truly, the courtroom was shocked and tried to interrogate '''Dainis''' on how he got hold of these messages, '''Dainis''' simply responds with "It's pretty self explanatory". '''Walter''' points out '''Dainis'''<nowiki/>' bot counts as malware, making it a direct violation of the rules of the server– and not only that, he points out his actions are in direct violation of European international law and the GDPR. <ref group="note">https://gdpr-info.eu/art-5-gdpr/</ref> The controversy was set aside to be unpacked after the third charge was addressed. For now, the court moves on. | |||
The court proceeds with count two. '''Charter''' expressed confusion as to why this was a charge, he argued he had attempted to shut down the situation so it wouldn't escalate. '''Walter''' condemns '''Charter'''<nowiki/>'s actions, since he believes the argument was incited by him and his attempt to end it only aggravated things. '''Charter''' explains he only gave his honest opinion about '''LarKc''', who he criticized at the inception of the argument. '''Dainis''' argued the pedophile joke was in all honesty a fairly common occurence within server banter, and this time it was blown out of proportion due to bias against his client. He also defends '''Charter'''<nowiki/>'s point that '''LarKc''' is very often favored and coddled by the mod team. After '''Dainis'''<nowiki/>' statement '''Walter''' announces the prosecution would like to move onto the third count. | |||
The defense discusses their options, mulling over the use of "''The big boy''". Notably, president '''Testicle (left)''' comes to watch the trial from afar. '''Charter''' starts off once again vanishing the idea that this count is valid. He explains that the words he used fall under the category of "kill yourself" jokes, which had been allowed in the rule for a long time by then. The prosecution takes the angle of hypocrisy; they claimed what '''Charter''' had done was far beyond what '''Larkc''' had ever done to him. The count is dismissed due to irrelevancy. | |||
It's time for a closing statement, but the defence still has something to say. They post a screenshot of the '''u/Mr2112''' Reddit account, the same name as '''LarKcuavian'''<nowiki/>'s Discord account. '''LarKc''' claims the account is not his own. After much discussion, it's contents (Most notably a "Neon Genesis Evangelion pregnancy post") are deemed irrelevant by the prosecution and general public. '''Charter''' is aghast but moves onto his closing statement. | |||
'''The End of the Trial''' | |||
For his closing statement, defendant '''Charter''' states he's already made his peace with '''LarKcuavian''', and he was ready to be past this. He states that he's never to been open to making his peace with '''LarKc''', but mods like '''Decoherence''' have done nothing but portray him as someone actively looking to cause drama when he had already moved in. '''Charter''' declares his actions have no grounds for a ban, and the only reason he ever was is because of the unnecesary scrutiny that biased mods put him under. | |||
After the jury and prosecution make their decisions, '''Charter''' walks a free man. His lawyer '''Dainis''' however, is thrown into '''the pit''' and subsequently banned from the server indefinitely for his actions. | |||

==Rules== | |||
=== Old Rules === | |||
The rules of '''SwagBalls''' were originally posted by '''Meme Alt''' on February 22nd, 2022, with additional rules being added at later dates. The no bigotry rules were strengthened as a variety of slurs were banned in all contexts, removed automatically by the '''AutoModerator'''. On May 15th, 2023, '''Walter''' clarified the list of words banned under the rules, as well as their respective punishments. | |||
The old rules of '''SwagBalls''' were as follows:[[File:SwagBalls banner June 2023.webp|thumb|The server's banner since June 2023.]] | |||
#No racism. | |||
#No homophobia or LGBTQ+ related phobi<nowiki/>a. | |||
#No spam. | |||
#No suspicious links, files, malware. | |||
#No gore/NSFL/Violent videos (videos/pictures/gifs of real death, injuries, violence etc. This includes humans and animals) | |||
#No sexism. | |||
#No disrespecting others. | |||
#Please try to post the right content in the appropriate channels. I will not be too harsh on enforcing this but keep that in mind. | |||
#If you want truly serious discussion without jokes or memes go to ''#serious-discussion'' | |||
# DO NOT be inappropriate with people under the age of 18. | |||
#There will absolutely be no discussion or talk of Femboys. Nor will there be any sharing of content including femboys. This includes but is not limited to videos, memes, pictures, copypastas etc... | |||
##Amendment to 11: Boykisser falls under this and is banned. | |||
#If you somehow have permission to. Do not ping @ everyone OR @ any role without permission from the server owner. | |||
#Do not post any sexual content such as porn. | |||
#No horny talk, no horny memes, no horny jokes on this server. It is cringe and inappropriate. I do not care if you think its a joke, do not do it. | |||
##Amendment to rule 14: don't talk about gooning or edging. | |||
#Absolutely no doxxing for any reason. Not even yourself. | |||
#There will be absolutely no venting on this server anywhere. ''#serious-discussion'' will only be for discussions. | |||
#The main language of this server is English. So please, only speak in english. | |||
#Do not share pirated material. | |||
#Absolutely no political discussions at all. You will be warned first. If you continue then you will be muted. | |||
#If someone genuinely tells you that your jokes make them uncomfortable, no matter how ironic, you should stop making them immediately. | |||
#You are not allowed to advertise discord servers | |||
It should be noted that '''Rule 16''' was not enforced at all, and ''discussion'' of piracy did not violate '''Rule 18'''. | |||
=== New Criminal Code === | |||
On March 2, 2024, as part of the '''1984 Chud Crackdown''', the old rules were rewritten in order to cut down on gray areas and to make the rules' enforcement both more transparent and easier, and were subsequently unanimously voted in favor of by the '''moderators''' (8-0) with minor alterations. Made public on March 4, 2024, with offenses separated into three degrees of severity, the new rules, crafted by '''Decoherence,''' read as follows: | |||
==== --- FIRST DEGREE OFFENSES --- ==== | |||
A first degree offense will be met with an instant ban. | |||
'''1.1.''' '''BIGOTRY.''' Posting bigoted content is a first degree offense. | |||
'''1.2.''' '''MALWARE.''' Posting malware is a first degree offense. | |||
'''1.3.''' '''GORE.''' Posting IRL gore or shock content without a warning is a first degree offense. | |||
'''1.4.''' '''PORN.''' Posting porn is a first degree offense. | |||
'''1.5.''' '''DOXXING.''' Doxxing ANYONE, even yourself, is a first degree offense. | |||
==== -- SECOND DEGREE OFFENSES -- ==== | ==== -- SECOND DEGREE OFFENSES -- ==== | ||

'''2.4. HORNY CONVERSATIONS.''' Thirstposting, thirst comments, or any sexually charged conversation is a second degree offense. This includes posting shock content/porn memes like incredible gassy or gooning. A sexually charged conversation with a minor is a first degree offense. | '''2.4. HORNY CONVERSATIONS.'''

A sexually charged conversation with a minor is a first degree offense. | ||
'''2.5. SERIOUSPOSTING.''' Outside of the serious channels, there is expectation of a certain level of irony. While serious conversations may certainly be had, any form of venting is discouraged. Fighting with other users over personal, unironic grievances may constitute a second degree offense. | |||

===The First Amendment === | |||
The '''moderation team''' shall not be allowed to kick or permanently '''pit''' a person without hosting a trial, and the defendant is to be placed in '''the pit''' temporarily until a verdict is reached. This text acknowledges that all citizens of '''SwagCord''' possess certain unalienable rights, barring: | |||
* accounts younger than 2 weeks | |||
* known alt accounts | |||
* scam bots or otherwise malicious accounts not covered by first-degree offenses | |||
* participants of any raid on the server | |||
Due to the nature of first-degree rule-breaking, first-degree offenders will not be guaranteed a trial. The trial is to be attended by the defendant, one or more representatives of the '''moderation team''', and an impartial jury to ensure a fair verdict, as well as witness(es) of the offense committed if necessary. | |||
