Unethical Political Practices Revealed!
•

"Heated political debate between the two major political rivals PCP and UKRP have stepped up a notch this week. Tecchi, Editor of The Hellfish Chronicle reports:"
There has been quite alot of political slander between parties these past few weeks. The main two being PCP and UKRP. However, just before the V1 release, posts from a private PCP party forum topic (The Peoples Initiative) were leaked by an alleged PCP spy and UKRP lapped up their chance to use it as a propagandist tool against the enemy.
Some would say "such is the workings of Politics, opposition trying to find slander on eachother". This is true, in Real Life. eRepublik is not Real Life. This malicious act to intentionally harm the reputation of the PCP party and gain more supporters for UKRP is indeed a precedent for Politics in eUK and I, and many others of the eUK community, have deemed such actions as completely Unethical.
Widdows, and PCP leader Stan Wephen, have called for party unity within the PCP and have urged its members not to publicly accuse suspects of betrayal. Drastic, necessary, measures have been taken by the Peoples Initiative to improve their security to moving their discussions to a private forum. I assure all readers of the Hellfish Chronicle that only bad things can come from this, our friendly, open, eUK forums have been transformed into a hostile, unsafe one where organisations are afraid to discuss their policies and are forced to move elsewhere.
Acts such as this is breaking up the eUK community, which is now breaking up into smaller groups which raises deep concerns for the future.

Is this a joke?
"This malicious act to intentionally harm the reputation of the PCP party and gain more supporters for UKRP is indeed a precedent for Politics in eUK and I, and many others of the eUK community, have deemed such actions as completely Unethical."
First off: The topic of what was revealed was against the UKRP, trying to make UKRP lose supporters.
Second off: "I, and many others"....sooo.....The PCP? Yeahhh..
It doesn't help the situation that Bob Boblo is allowed to publish crap (similar to this article in fact) that causes major fights.
Maybe the PCP should stop looking at someone else to blame and realize that being hypocrits isn't the best policy for eUK.
So you believe that publicly posting leaked topics from a private topic is ethical and ok to do just because you disagree with an opposing party's ideas? I see.. very interesting indeed.
I must again point out that it was a PI article not a PCP article. The vast majority of PCP members have no say in the running of PI companies.
for this I have one wor😛 PROPAGANDA
This isn't the first time something like this has happened. Remember when Paul Hudson's smear campaign plan was unveiled?
Anyway, it's completely ethical if a PCP member leaked it. If was a URKP member using admin powers wrongly, then that would be unethical.
Why was my article bullcrap?
What was I meant to assume?
kboomer, if you are referring to me: then I'd hate to disappoint you. You can always ask Nel to check me out again but you'll always get the same conclusion. I have never, nor will I ever, check the PCP's (or any party other then UKRP) private forum.
gotta say that if someone leaks it, I think it is fair game
Ok.. maybe we should keep this in mind if a UKRP member leaks topics from your private forum? You'd have to eat a nice slice of humble pie then wouldnt you?
